This app is a simple client-side app that allows one to browse and search gulp plugins. It fetches data from npmsearch with the keywords gulpplugin and gulpfriendly. npmsearch also provides rankings for plugins(so we don't have to).
Built with AngularJS, using brunch, gulp(surprise!), and grunt.
Note that you can flag plugins for adding to blacklist or removing from blacklist in the app itself. Press the red label to remove from blacklist, or hover over the plugin and press the flag to add to blacklist. In the issues, there are labels for removing and adding to blacklist.
To maintain quality in the plugin ecosystem, we sometimes blacklist plugins. A plugin may be blacklisted for the following reasons:
- Does not fit within the gulp paradigm
- Flagrant duplicate of an existing plugin
- Does not follow the plugin guidelines
If you feel that a plugin has been blacklisted incorrectly or you would like to add a plugin to the blacklist, use the issues page.
We welcome all contributors! But please read the notes:
To develop, run npm install and bower install.
Everything that is needed both for the client and development will be installed
(other than gulp, but you probably have that installed through npm install -g gulp).
This does use several build systems, grunt, gulp, and brunch.
Brunch handles all of the app minification, concatenation, and development work,
grunt is just for deployment, and gulp is for tying it all together.
As per brunch standards, all the app code is in app/, with index.html in assets/, javascript in js/, and css in css/. One quirk of this is that the README for the gh-pages branch goes in assets(so it is preserved during deployment).
Several tasks are available from gulp for development and deployment:
gulp dev: starts a brunch server on localhost:3333. Start editing files and see the page reload automatically, pretty cool.gulp deploy: Courtesy of grunt-gh-pages, builds the project for production and deploys by pushing to the gh-pages branch. An example output is this commit. This is safe as only people with push access to the repo can deploy(awesome!).
