ben-eb / gulp-cat Goto Github PK

This is an Enhancement suggestion, but I don't know how to add the tag..

It would be great if we could set a color for the displayed file, so it doesn't get lost in the console amongst the other stuff.

I noticed you are using "process.stdout.write" to print out the contents of files.

So perhaps we could do something like:

var color       = require('ansi-color').set;
process.stdout.write(color("file contents in string format", some_ansi_color_string_var));

and then use gulp-cat like

gulp.task('taskname', function() {
    gulp.src('./README.md')
        .pipe(cat( { color: "blue" } ));
});

BTW require does a bit of magic to work with relative paths. I noticed you had this in this repo (and the wiki)

cat = require(__dirname + '/index.js')

which can also be

cat = require('./index')

Just a friendly tip
