Use custom directory when overriding

[ivandotv]

I'm trying to do an override with a custom directory structure, currently I don't think it's possible.

  "overrides": {
    "jquery": {
      "main": ["./dir_1/dir_2/jquery.min.js","./dir_1/dir_2/jquery.min.map"]
    }

I always get jquery/dist/jquery.min.js Original jquery (bower file) : "main": "dist/jquery.js"

Can you tell me what you are expecting?

Should this plugin select jquery.min.js and jquery.min.map in dir_1/dir_2?

[ivandotv]

It's selecting the correct files but it's not making the directories. So files end up in /jquery/dist/ But i need them in /jquery/dir_1/dir_2/

This is because the base option for gulp.src will be set to the path where your bower_components directory if this option is not set.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to explain. This is how I'm using the plugin.

    gulpBowerFiles().pipe(gulp.dest("./client/vendor"));

So I expect to get files is client/vendor/jquery/dir_1/dir_2/jquery.min.js But I get the files in client/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js

[ck86]

  "overrides": {
    "jquery": {
      "main": ["./dir_1/dir_2/jquery.min.js","./dir_1/dir_2/jquery.min.map"]
    }

With this override option you can change the source path, not the destination.

If you have the following bower_components structure: ./bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js

The base option will be set to: ./bower_components

So if you copy to: client/vendor

You will get: client/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js

You will not be able to affect the destination path. What is your intention? May be there is another way to solve this problem.

[ivandotv]

Okay so I misunderstood the overrides functionality. Basically what I need to do is change the destination.

[ck86]

But why? Whats wrong with dist/jquery.min.js?

[ck86]

Anyway this plugin has nothing to do with destination path, you can use gulp-flatten and/or gulp-filter to solve this problem.

Hope this will help you.

I'll look in to that, thank you.
