gulp-rename is a gulp plugin to rename files easily.
gulp-rename provides simple file renaming methods.
var rename = require("gulp-rename");
// rename via string
gulp.src("./src/main/text/hello.txt")
.pipe(rename("main/text/ciao/goodbye.md"))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist")); // ./dist/main/text/ciao/goodbye.md
// rename via function
gulp.src("./src/**/hello.txt")
.pipe(rename(function (path) {
path.dirname += "/ciao";
path.basename += "-goodbye";
path.extname = ".md"
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist")); // ./dist/main/text/ciao/hello-goodbye.md
// rename via hash
gulp.src("./src/main/text/hello.txt", { base: process.cwd() })
.pipe(rename({
dirname: "main/text/ciao",
basename: "aloha",
prefix: "bonjour-",
suffix: "-hola",
extname: ".md"
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest("./dist")); // ./dist/main/text/ciao/bonjour-aloha-hola.md
See test/rename.spec.js for more examples and test/path-parsing.spec.js for hairy details.
dirname
is the relative path from the base directory set by gulp.src
to the filename.
gulp.src()
uses glob-stream which sets the base to the parent of the first directory glob (*
, **
, [], or extglob). dirname
is the remaining directories or ./
if none. glob-stream versions >= 3.1.0 (used by gulp >= 3.2.2) accept a base
option, which can be used to explicitly set the base.gulp.dest()
renames the directories between process.cwd()
and dirname
(i.e. the base relative to CWD). Use dirname
to rename the directories matched by the glob or descendents of the base of option.base
option described above.basename
is the filename without the extension like path.basename(filename, path.extname(filename)).extname
is the file extension including the '.' like path.extname(filename).
