How to properly organize gulpfile.js?

Question

Web development

Hello! My gulpfile.js has grown to an incredible size:

• 25 dependencies galp
  
• 300 lines of variables with parameters
  
• 12 tasks that I use every day at work and a couple more just in case
  

And I started having problems:

1. Dependencies are not installed the first time ($ npm i have to run 2-3 times)
   
2. Super big 600 line noodles
   
3. Most of the tasks I need only when building the project, and I have to put all the dependencies
   

Who can suggest ways to solve these problems?

Answer 1

Try to include gulp-tasks from the directory and split everything into separate files accordingly (for each task).
+ you can use npm link

The build dependencies are written in the package.json devDependencies section. So, to install dependencies, excluding those that are registered in devDependecies, use the command npm install --production.
