Calling Existing Gulp Tasks
If you need to call an existing Gulp task from Elixir, you may use the task method. As an example,
imagine that you have a Gulp task that simply speaks a bit of text when called:
1 gulp.task('speak', function() {
2 A> var message = 'Tea...Earl Grey...Hot';
3 A>
4 A> gulp.src('').pipe(shell('say ' + message));
5
6 });
If you wish to call this task from Elixir, use the mix.task method and pass the name of the task as
the only argument to the method:
1 elixir(function(mix) {
2 A> mix.task('speak');
3
4 });
Custom Watchers
If you need to register a watcher to run your custom task each time some files are modified, pass a
regular expression as the second argument to the task method:
1 elixir(function(mix) {
2 A> mix.task('speak', 'app/**/*.php');
3
4 });
Writing Elixir Extensions
If you need more flexibility than Elixir’s task method can provide, you may create custom Elixir
extensions. Elixir extensions allow you to pass arguments to your custom tasks. For example, you
