Remove duplicate files with gulp-dedupe

For a few days, I've been trying to remove duplicate files from my merge and I found the gulp-dedupe very easy to implement and really useful.

I strongly recommend to use before concat()

return merge2(
      gulp.src('static/src/tpl/*.html')
        .pipe(minifyHtml({empty: true}))
        .pipe(ngtemplate({
          module: 'genTemplates',
          standalone: true
        })
      ), gulp.src([
        'static/src/js/app.js',
        'static/src/js/locale_zh-cn.js',
        'static/src/js/tools.js',
        'static/src/js/services.js',
        'static/src/js/locale_zh-cn.js', //example duplicated file
        'static/src/js/controllers.js'
      ])
    )
    .pipe(dedupe())
    .pipe(concat('app.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('static/dist/js/'));
});

Does not work on windows

Hey frodefi,

I've been using this plugin for some time and it's been working on my linux laptop perfectly. Lately though I've got some new colleagues who work on windows and there it doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't crash or report anything, but it also doesn't generate the expected files.

Is this an issue you have encountered already?

This is the bower-main part of my gulpfile.js

var bowerMain = require('bower-main');

var bowerMainJavaScriptFiles = bowerMain('js', 'min.js')
var bowerMainCssFiles= bowerMain('css', 'min.css')

gulp.task('bower', function() {
  return gulp.src(bowerMainJavaScriptFiles.normal)
    .pipe(concat('vendor-scripts.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('web/bundles/global/vendor'));
});

gulp.task('bowerprod', function(){
  return merge2(
    gulp.src(bowerMainJavaScriptFiles.minified),
    gulp.src(bowerMainJavaScriptFiles.minifiedNotFound)
      .pipe(concat('tmp.min.js'))
      .pipe(uglify())
    )
    .pipe(concat('vendor-scripts.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('web/bundles/global/vendor'));
});

gulp.task('bowercss', function() {
  return gulp.src(bowerMainCssFiles.normal)
    .pipe(concat('vendor-styles.css'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('web/bundles/global/vendor'));
});

gulp.task('bowercssprod', function(){
  return merge2(
    gulp.src(bowerMainCssFiles.minified),
    gulp.src(bowerMainCssFiles.minifiedNotFound)
      .pipe(concat('tmp.min.css'))
      .pipe(uglify())
    )
    .pipe(concat('vendor-styles.css'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('web/bundles/global/vendor'));
});

Please add deprecated note!

This is not useful anymore and I recommend to use main-bower-files directly or even better switch to yarn/npm. Can you add the deprecated note?

Not getting all expected css files.

For some reason not all the expected css files are found. In my current setup, bower-main misses the css files for bootstrap and only returns the ones from Datatables. I believe it might be due to the underlying bower-main-files but I can't tell with certainity.

These are my bower.json and gulpfile.js

   "ignore": [
        "**/.*",
        "node_modules",
        "bower_components",
        "test",
        "tests"
    ],
    "dependencies": {
        "bootstrap": ">=3.1.1",
        "jquery": ">=2.1.0",
        "DataTables": ">=1.10.7",
        "bootbox": ">=4.4.0"
    }
}

var bowerMainCssFiles = bowerMain('css', 'min.css');

gulp.task('bowercss', function() {                                                                 
     return gulp.src(bowerMainCssFiles.normal)                                                        
       .pipe(concat('vendor-styles.css'))                                                             
       .pipe(gulp.dest('web/bundles/global/vendor'));                                                 
 });    

Can't override third-party bowers

Can't pass through parameters to main-bower-files

There should be a way to pass though parameters to mainBowerFiles. Alternatively, let the user call mainBowerFiles directly and pass its results to bowerMain.

Doesn't brings sammy main file

I am trying to use this package with Sammy framework, but it doesn't bring the main file of this package. Here is my Gulp task:

var gulp   = require('gulp'),
    bower  = require('bower-main'),
    concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('script', function() {

    return gulp.src(bower('js').normal)
        .pipe(concat('main.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('app'));
});

It is a problem with Sammy package?
