.env variables in gulpfile.js

No but there are a few node modules that'll read YAML files ... https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml

@alanmtk No. Why do you need to?

Might be nice to be able to change src paths based on environment without having to .gitignore the gulpfile.js and maintain different ones in all the environments.

// .env
APP_ENV=local

// gulpfile.js
if (env(APP_ENV) == 'local') {
    gulp.task('locals', function() {
        return gulp.src('../[some folder name]/**/*')
            .pipe(gulp.dest('[some local app path]'));
    });

} else if (env(APP_ENV) == 'prod') {
    gulp.task('locals', function() {
        return gulp.src('../../../[some folder name]/**/*')
            .pipe(gulp.dest('[some local app path]'));
    });
}

Server folder structure:

/site1
    /app
    /...
/site2
    /app
    /...
/site3
    /app
    /...
/universals-that-cannot-go-into-package-management

@amidknight Not sure why you’ve dragged up a 7 month old conversation, but your build process should be the same across all environments.

Gulp is for building front-end assets (CSS, JavaScript), the paths of which shouldn’t change across environments.
