### Install:
npm install -D gulp-multistream
### Use:
```javascript
var multistream = require('gulp-multistream');
gulp.task('doStuff', function() {
return gulp.src('myfile.js')
.pipe(doTheStuff())
.pipe(multistream( gulp.dest('dest1'), gulp.dest('dest2') );
});
```
And just in case you missed the significance, here's another example:
```javascript
var multistream = require('gulp-multistream');
gulp.task('doStuff', function() {
var destinations = [];
if (useDest1) { destinations.push( gulp.dest('dest1') ); }
if (useDest2) { destinations.push( gulp.dest('dest2') ); }
if (useDest3) { destinations.push( gulp.dest('dest3') ); }
// Do we have 1, 2, or 3 destinations?
// Why should I have to care at this point?
return gulp.src('myfile.js')
.pipe(doTheStuff())
.pipe(multistream.apply(undefined, destinations));
});
```
### But why:
Well, I had a build that needed to build some modules, concat, and output to 15 different folders. Except, when it needed to output to 10 folders. Or when it needed to output to 8 folders. I think you get the idea. And then I wrote 12 more such tasks, that copy to 15, 10, or 8 folders... sometimes. And, well, I refuse to maintain hardcoded destinations for that. `gulp-multistream` to the rescue.
