node.js plugins + gulp

[brendan8c]

Is there any way to use node.js plugins with gulp?

Write JS code for each plugin.
Here is an example of how I adapted the 'html-minifier' plugin for gulp

const { src, dest, series } = require('gulp');
const htmlMinify = require('html-minifier');

const options = {
    includeAutoGeneratedTags: true,
    removeAttributeQuotes: true,
    removeComments: true,
    removeRedundantAttributes: true,
    removeScriptTypeAttributes: true,
    removeStyleLinkTypeAttributes: true,
    sortClassName: true,
    useShortDoctype: true,
    collapseWhitespace: true
};

function test12() {
    return src('app/**/*.html')
        .on('data', function(file) {
            const buferFile = Buffer.from(htmlMinify.minify(file.contents.toString(), options))
            file.contents = buferFile;
            console.log(file)
            return;
        })
        .pipe(dest('build'))
}

exports.test12 = series(test12);

There's an example on gulp getting started documentation as well which using through2

// source: https://gulpjs.com/docs/en/getting-started/using-plugins/#inline-plugins
const { src, dest } = require('gulp');
const uglify = require('uglify-js');
const through2 = require('through2');

exports.default = function() {
  return src('src/*.js')
    // Instead of using gulp-uglify, you can create an inline plugin
    .pipe(through2.obj(function(file, _, cb) {
      if (file.isBuffer()) {
        const code = uglify.minify(file.contents.toString())
        file.contents = Buffer.from(code.code)
      }
      cb(null, file);
    }))
    .pipe(dest('output/'));
}

Yeah, I saw her. I don't want to include additional libraries. So I don't use 'through2'
