Is there a way to asign the stream to a variable? about gulp-yaml-data HOT 8 OPEN

Please elaborate, do you want to read a YAML file in your Gulpfile into a variable while running a task?

from gulp-yaml-data.

Yes, I need pase the yaml file as a variable to another task.
I can transfer yaml to json, and get the data as a variable from json file, but that's one more step and also get an unnecessary json file.
If you can help, that will be great!
Thanks

So in essence you have Task 1 that reads a YAML and the YAML should be available to a Task 2?

I think this is bad practise and you should just read the YAML again in Task 2, as the Task 2 might sometimes run without Task 1 running before it, which might break the system.

If you just need to read YAML config to be a global config for all tasks then there are libraries for that.

Sorry I didn't make it clear.
Actually I want to get the variable within the same task, not another task.

It's just JavaScript data, not for configuration.

I see, so first you'd read the YAML data, then use the YAML data in a following pipe step? I quite certain there already was a Gulp plugin for this but I'll see whether I have the time to see how this could be implemented. If you have any ideas then please do create a pull request. :)

Yes.
I searched, but couldn't find a good solution.

I can try to find some time to see how to implement this neatly, no promises. Please, let me know if you stumble upon a solution that works for you so I can see how they have implemented it. :)
