Converter to object mode? about through2 HOT 5 CLOSED

@erikras I think gulp uses object mode since each element in the stream is a vinyl object: https://github.com/wearefractal/vinyl

You'll have better luck posting to gulp issues forum.

For streams of files, gulp uses objectMode. Are you referring to a particular gulp plugin that is not using objectMode? Or are you referring to a stream of the file contents? If it's a stream of the file contents, I think you're on your own...

The problem is that exorcist is not an official gulp plugin, and apparently I don't understand node streams well enough to wrap it into a gulp plugin. Exorcist takes command line piped input. It sounds like I'd have to unwrap the vinyl object, pass it through exorcist, and then wrap it again. It seems like a common enough problem that I thought maybe someone had written one.

Thanks for your quick replies.

Aha!!! I knew this was possible. vinyl-transform to the rescue!

For posterity, this is how you wrap exorcist for gulp:

'use strict';
var gulp = require('gulp'),
  browserify = require('gulp-browserify'),
  transform = require('vinyl-transform'),
  exorcist = require('exorcist'),
  concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('browserify', function () {
  gulp
    .src('src/app.js')
    .pipe(browserify({
      debug: true
    }))
    .pipe(transform(function () {
      return exorcist('dist/script.map');
    }))
    .pipe(concat('script.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

gulp.task('default', ['browserify']);
