Is there any GUI tool for Gulp?

[fritx]

Or other Build Systems (like Grunt)? Or IDE that already integrates those?

[tomasdev]

@fritx I don't think so. Do you plan on building one? ;D

[AntouanK]

@fritx Does that help? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gulp-devtools/ojpmgjhofceebfifeajnjojpokebkkji/ ( never used it )

[yocontra]

gulpfiction?

[fritx]

@tomasdev Haha, I wanna have one (like node-webkit) So that we could teach more people to use but not with command lines...

@AntouanK Great, will try

[fritx]

@contra gulpfiction doesn't that help... :(

[robrich]

A few tools to keep in mind:

• gulpfiction (http://gulpfiction.divshot.io/#/3adde8af-39b9-46e1-87c0-de694c0d84c1) is a tool for building gulpfiles
• gulp Dev Tools (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gulp-devtools/ojpmgjhofceebfifeajnjojpokebkkji/) is a Chrome plugin for running gulpfiles
• Webstorm announced they'll support gulp in the next version (see http://blog.jetbrains.com/webstorm/2014/05/webstorm-9-development-roadmap-discussion/)
• Visual Studio announced they'll support gulp in the next version (see https://twitter.com/mkristensen/status/466401181003448320 and http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dcbc5325-79ef-4b72-960e-0a51ee33a0ff and http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/NorthAmerica/2014/DEV-B413#fbid=)
• Sublime has a few plugins like https://github.com/NicoSantangelo/sublime-gulp

Remember also, it's just JavaScript, so node gulpfile.js works just fine too. :D

One more that simply calls gulp watch within Atom editor.

• gulp-helper https://github.com/kenwheeler/gulp-helper

[sindresorhus]

I just published gulp-app.

[robrich]

This is getting to be a cool thread. Let's PR a list into the gulp docs.

[appleboy]

@robrich Very cool tools for gulp. Agree with you to collect list into the gulp docs.

[fritx]

@robrich Cool, sublime-gulp helps me ;) @sindresorhus Great, expecting it to run on linux >_<

[yocontra]

Yes, a page in the docs with these would be great :+1:

@fritx I'm down to make a gulp gui with node-webkit. Every function we design in node/gulp is only one line away from being an html element. Personally, I love the command line, but I'm also fascinated by visual programming. Beyond building something just for amateurs (which is fine), i think it could be used as a tool for all programmers, to help conceptualize rather complex structures like 'streams' and 'pipes', visually, instead of words..

[yocontra]

@RnbWd john resig did some cool stuff with visualizing pipes (http://nodestreams.com/), and gulpfiction exists as well. Let me know what you come up with

[Delapouite]

@RnbWd : Hi. Have a look at the NoFlo project http://noflojs.org/example/

[fritx]

@RnbWd Agreed. Making things more complex is bad, but if it helps visual developing, I think... >.< @contra @Delapouite Those works are awesome!

[RnbWd]

@Delapouite NoFlo looks fascinating, thanks for the link!!

Using node-webkit to program gulp is interesting.. It's very dynamic (everything works inside the chromium dev/console), but it's harder to debug is something goes wrong. It probably makes more sense to use websockets so you can debug with the command line. Anyways - oculus rift programming immersive would be kinda awesome..

[RnbWd]

Has anyone used node-red? I loaded in onto my raspi the other day, gulp flows probably wouldn't be hard to write, I haven't tried yet. I was able to sync browser with gulp files via socket.io (click a button, gulp task starts), using gulp.start('task'), assuming orchestrator API applies equally to gulp.

Closing this since it isn't a bug, but feel free to continue discussion

Here is the beginning of something pretty cool: Video: http://www.screenr.com/VrUN Repo: https://github.com/Enome/gobble

[avihaymenahem]

Hi Guys! Ive jsut started to work on something cool, Gulp task runner https://github.com/avihaymenahem/GTRunner

[fritx]

Hi guys! I've forked sindresorhus' cool gulp-app, and made it work on Windows as well as OSX. Also made some changes. Free free to try ;)

[doubleedesign]

Thank you @fritx At work I don't get a choice and have to use Windows, it's so annoying when tools I want to try are only available on Mac! Looking forward to trying yours!

[avihaymenahem]

I built one not so long ago: https://github.com/avihaymenahem/GTRunner

[onezerodigits]

This is a WIP, intended to make local site work/viewing as easy as opening an included app. I'm thinking the use-case to be if you want to share your work with someone less-technical, but I haven't validated how realistic a scenario that will end up being.

[warent]

I've been working on one. It uses ES2015 and Gulp 4. Will be releasing 1.0 soon. Feedback, comments, questions, etc, all welcome :)

https://github.com/VYNYL/gulpnoir/tree/1.0

[avihaymenahem]

https://github.com/avihaymenahem/GTRunner Enjoy :)

[ameshkin]

I am actually thinking of also building a visual gulp type system, then found this! I may not have to.

[PolaEdward]

@warent Looks very promising, I hope you don't abandon it! You can even update it more and make it more generic GUI for any flow system

[warent]

@PolaEdward I didn't create the flow system myself, it's an implementation of https://github.com/clientIO/joint.

Unfortunately, I did choose to abandon the project due to most developers migrating to Webpack, Rollup, etc. This, coupled with the super slow progress on Gulp 4 (Gulp 4 was "almost done" when I was working on GulpNoir two years ago yet is only just recently starting to roll out!), made it apparent that Gulp was basically becoming deprecated.

Feel free to fork GulpNoir and take over if you'd like :)

[demurgos]

I did not see it mentioned here but Gulp is really well integrated with Intellij IDEA, Webstorm and other Jetbrains products. You can right click on a Gulpfile to show its tasks and create run configurations using them.

[yocontra]

@warent gulp isn't deprecated, sometimes things are just feature complete and don't need to be rewritten every 2 months with massive breaking API changes to show "progress". when we do make breaking changes to the API (gulp 4) we do it carefully to make sure we get it right and don't have to redo it 2 months later.

There is quenchjs
