Installation

Install package with NPM and add it to your development dependencies:

npm install --save-dev gulp-replace-it

Usage

var replace = require('gulp-replace-it');

gulp.task('replace', function () {
    return gulp.src('./template.js')
        .pipe(replace({
            placeholderTemplate: '/* _ */',
            with: {
                token: 'hello world'
            }
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dst('./result.js'));
});

Having the following template.js:

console.log(/* token */);

you'll get console.log('hello world') in your result.js.

gulp-replace-it also supports buffers and streams:

var fs = require('fs');
var buffer = fs.readFileSync('./license');
var stream = gulp.src('./inner.js');

gulp.src('./template.js')
    .pipe(replace({
        with: {
            license: buffer,
            code: stream
        }
    })
    .pipe(gulp.dst('./result.js'));
