All we need to do is to use a stream as the return of the task definition function. This is simple because the pipe operator returns a stream:
gulp.task("sync", function () {
return gulp.src([
"src/**/**.ts"
])
.pipe(somePlugin({}))
.pipe(somePlugin ());
});
Now that we have some synchronous tasks, we can use them as a subtask of a new task named async:
gulp.task("async", ["sync1", "sync2"], function () {
// This task will not start until
// the sync tasks are completed!
console.log("Done!");
});
As we can see in the preceding code snippet, it is also possible to define a task that has some subtasks. However, if the complexity of our build process increases, we can end up with a very difficult to follow task dependency ...
