# gulp-repl [![NPM version][b-version]][x-npm] [![downloads][badge-downloads]][x-npm]

[![build][b-build]][x-travis]

Simple repl for gulp compatible with gulp#3.x and the future gulp#4.x.

### usage

```js
// gulpfile example
var gulp = require('gulp');
var repl = require('gulp-repl');

gulp.task('repl-start', function (cb) {
gulp.repl = repl.start(gulp);
});

gulp.task('repl-stop', function (cb) {
if (gulp.repl) {
gulp.repl.close(); // same as nodejs.org/api/readline.html#readline_rl_close
}
cb();
});

gulp.task('foo', function (cb) {
// do foo stuff
cb();
});

gulp.task('bar', function (cb) {
// do bar stuff
cb();
});

gulp.task('default');
```

Then, on your terminal write:

```
gulp repl-start
```

and you'll have a repl with:

1. Press Enter to see the prompt
1. write the tasks you want to run
1. Press Tab for completion

```
$ gulp
... some task logging here
(press Enter)
> (press Tab to see completion)
foo bar default
> foo bar
[10:39:11] Starting 'foo'...
[10:39:11] Finished 'foo' after 13 μs
[10:39:11] Starting 'bar'...
[10:39:11] Finished 'bar' after 5.52 μs
```

### API

The module exports a function

```js
var repl = require('gulp-repl');
```

with the following methods

#### repl.add

```js
function add(Gulp gulp)
```

Adds the `gulp` instance tasks for the REPL and _returns_ the module again.

#### repl.remove

```js
function remove(Gulp gulp)
```

Removes the `gulp` instance tasks from the REPL and _returns_ the module again.

#### repl.reset

```js
function reset()
```

Removes all of the previously added instances and _returns_ the module again.

#### repl.get

```js
function get(Gulp gulp)
```

Takes a `gulp` instance as argument

_returns_
- `null` if the `gulp` instance wasn't stored yet
- all of the stored instances if no arguments are given
- metadata stored for the given `gulp` instance if was already stored

#### repl.start

```js
function start(Gulp gulp)
```

Takes a `gulp` instance as argument

Adds the `gulp` instance tasks for the REPL.

Starts a REPL listening on `stdin` and writing on `stdout`. Each of the commands typed to the REPL are looked up in each of the instances given on `add`.

_returns_ a `readline.Interface` instance.

[See node's core module `readline` documentation about the `readline.Interface`](https://nodejs.org/api/readline.html).
