Uncompress gzip files in your gulp build pipeline
$ npm install --save-dev gulp-gunzip
var gulp = require('gulp')
var gunzip = require('gulp-gunzip')
gulp.task('uncompress', function () {
return gulp.src('./compressed/*.gz')
.pipe(gunzip())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./uncompressed'))
})
In combination with gulp-untar and vinyl-source-stream:
var gulp = require('gulp')
var request = require('request')
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream')
var gunzip = require('gulp-gunzip')
var untar = require('gulp-untar')
gulp.task('default', function () {
return request('http://example.org/some-file.tar.gz')
.pipe(source('some-file.tar.gz'))
.pipe(gunzip())
.pipe(untar())
.pipe(gulp.dest('output'))
})
