gulp-remove-dev

This gulp plugin enabels you to remove code via gulp. You can combine it with gulp-if.

//<remove end> removes any code until the end of the file.
//<remove beginning> removes any code up to the beginning of the file.
//<remove> removes any code until you write //</remove>

Please note that those commands need a complete line.

An Example

There is nothing better than an example:

That's in your gulpfile.js:

const removeDev = require('gulp-remove-dev');

gulp.src('./src/file.js')
  .pipe(removeDev())
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'))

That's the content of our imaginary file ./src/file.js:

console.log("Hello");
console.log("Some Code");
//<remove beginning>

more.code1();
more.code2();

//<remove>
debug.code1();
debug.code2();
//</remove>

more.code3();
more.code4();

//<remove end>
console.log("End of file");
console.log("Some Code");

That's what our resulting file.js becomes at path ./dist:

more.code1();
more.code2();


more.code3();
more.code4();

Please note that this plugin doesn't remove any empty lines which are not explicitly removed by any //<remove> commands.
