Gulp: How to concatenate files after they have compiled?

Question

My goal is to compile and minify a few CSS and JS files, and one HTML file into a new HTML file which should have this kind of structure:

<script>
... compiled JS files ...
</script>

<style>
... minified CSS files ... 
</style>

<html file>

This is my file structure:

This is my gulpfile:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var csslint = require('gulp-csslint');
var cssComb = require('gulp-csscomb');
var cleanCss = require('gulp-clean-css');
var jshint = require('gulp-jshint'); // removed
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var minifyHtml = require('gulp-minify-html');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');
const inject = require('gulp-inject-string');
const gulpMerge = require('gulp-merge');
const del = require('del');
const runSequence = require('gulp-sequence');

gulp.task('clean', function () {
    return del([
        'dist/**/*',
    ]);
});

gulp.task('css', function () {
    gulp.src(['src/**/*.css'])
        .pipe(plumber())
        .pipe(cssComb())
        .pipe(csslint())
        .pipe(csslint.formatter())
        .pipe(concat('bundle.css'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
        .pipe(rename({
            suffix: '.min'
        }))
        .pipe(cleanCss())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
});

gulp.task('js', function () {
    gulp.src(['src/js/**/*.js'])
        .pipe(concat('bundle.js'))
        .pipe(babel({
            presets: 'env'
        }))
        .pipe(plumber({
            handleError: function (err) {
                console.log(err);
                this.emit('end');
            }
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
        .pipe(rename({
            suffix: '.min'
        }))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
});

gulp.task('html', function () {
    gulp.src(['src/html/**/*.html'])
        .pipe(plumber({
            handleError: function (err) {
                console.log(err);
                this.emit('end');
            }
        }))
        .pipe(rename({
            suffix: '.min'
        }))
        .pipe(minifyHtml())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
});

gulp.task('concatenateFiles', function() {
    return gulpMerge(
        gulp.src('dist/bundle.css')
            .pipe(inject.wrap("\n<style>\n", "\n</style>\n")),

        gulp.src('dist/bundle.js')
            .pipe(inject.wrap("\n<script>\n", "\n</script>\n\n")),

        gulp.src('src/html/player.html')
        )
        .pipe(concat('widget.html'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

gulp.task('concatenateFilesMinified', function() {
    return gulpMerge(
        gulp.src('dist/bundle.min.css')
            .pipe(inject.wrap('<style>', '</style>')),

        gulp.src('dist/bundle.min.js')
            .pipe(inject.wrap('<script>', '</script>')),

        gulp.src('dist/player.min.html')
        )
        .pipe(concat('widget.min.html'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'));
});

const js = 'src/**/*.js';
const css = 'src/**/*.css';
const html = 'src/**/*.html';
const all = [js, css, html];

gulp.task('default', ['clean', 'js', 'css', 'html'], function () {
    gulp.watch(js, ['js']);
    gulp.watch(css, ['css']);
    gulp.watch(html, ['html']);

    setTimeout(function() {
        runSequence(['concatenateFiles', 'concatenateFilesMinified']);
    }, 2000);
});

I know this is a bad approach, especially if you look at the setTimeout(), but I'm just so lost at this point (and this is my first gulpfile).

I've also tried this:

gulp.task('default', ['clean', 'js', 'css', 'html', 'concatenateFiles', 'concatenateFilesMinified'], function () {
    gulp.watch(js, ['js']);
    gulp.watch(css, ['css']);
    gulp.watch(html, ['html']);
});

But the problem is that all dependency tasks are executed in parallel, so the 'concatenateFiles' and 'concatenateFilesMinified' are started before their dependencies (eg JS, CSS and HTML) are ready.

Furthermore, gulp.watch() would only work for js, css and html tasks.

How do I do this properly?

TLDR:

I want to:

build CSS, JS and HTML files from src folder (1 file for each type)
concatenate those three files into one file (wrapping JS into <script> , CSS into <style> ) into dist/widget.html
minify the file from step 2. into dist/widget.min.html

I want these 3 things to happen when I run gulp default . Furthermore, I also want files from step 2. and 3. to be refreshed every time I make changes to files in src/ folder

Answer 1

runSequence should work with tasks, which are returning something. Add 'return' for js, html, concatenateFiles, concatenateFilesMinified
