Putting it all together

You've accomplished quite a bit, but there's one last thing we want to mention: the default task. If gulp is run with no parameters, it will look for a default task to perform. This can be anything you want.

To specify this, just add the following task at gulp/tasks/default.js:

module.exports = {
    deps: ["build"]
}

Now, if you execute gulp with no specific task, you'll actually start the build task instead. What you want to use for your default task is largely dependent upon your preferences.

Your Gulp configuration is now quite large and complex. We've added a few additional features to it in the code package, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look at our final version in the code bundle of this book. We've also added several other features to the configuration, which you might want to investigate further. They are as follows:

• BrowserSync for rapid iteration and testing
• The ability to control whether or not any errors prevent further tasks from being executed
• Help text
