Remove gulp from dependency

[tnguyen14]

Can gulp be moved to devDependency? Or spin the icon sprite inject gulp task into a separate repo? I'd like to use this, but don't want to pull gulp into my project.

Hi @tnguyen14 -- it's a good question, I agree that gulp shouldn't be a dependency.

Unfortunately, the current design uses gulp to build and inject the SVG 'sprites'. I would like to move to a different design (probably building the icons as separately importable React components). Hopefully I will get round to this soon, I just haven't been able to spare the time.

If you can suggest another way, please do send me a PR, and I'll definitely take a look.

There are many ways the sprite can be included into the HTML, and gulp is just one. It is not very useful for projects that don't use gulp.

I think that instead of including gulp in this project, you should just add the task as part of the documentation as a suggestion for how the icon sprite could be injected.
