gulp-buster

library1.1.0jsnpmunverified

gulp-buster (v1.1.0) is a Gulp plugin that generates cache-busting hashes (fingerprints) for static assets. It computes MD5-like hashes of file contents and writes them to a JSON manifest (busters.json). Unlike gulp-rev, it does not rename files but instead produces a mapping for URL rewriting. The plugin integrates with gulp-watch for real-time updates. Releases are infrequent; latest stable is 1.1.0 (2015). Requires Node >= 0.10.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

bust

✓ import bust from 'gulp-buster'

✗ const bust = require('gulp-buster')

gulp-buster exports a single function. Both ESM and CommonJS work.

bust

✓ const bust = require('gulp-buster')

CommonJS require is common for Gulp plugins.

default export

✓ var bust = require('gulp-buster')

✗ require('gulp-buster').default

No default property; the function is exported directly.

Shows how to pipe assets through gulp-buster to generate a busters.json manifest.

const gulp = require('gulp'); const bust = require('gulp-buster'); gulp.task('bust', function() { return gulp.src('assets/*.css') .pipe(bust({ path: 'busters.json', fileName: 'busters.json', relativePath: true })) .pipe(gulp.dest('dist')); });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaOptions path and fileName both default to busters.json but confusion may occur.

fix

Use only fileName option; path is legacy.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaHashes are computed synchronously; large files may block the event loop.

fix

Consider using gulp-rev for async hashing or limit file sizes.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedgulp-buster has not been updated since 2015 and may not work with modern Gulp 4.

fix

Migrate to gulp-rev or gulp-hash.

affects: >=1.0.0
