gulp-lispyscript

0.0.2 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

Gulp plugin to transpile Lispyscript to JavaScript. Based on the Babel plugin architecture, it integrates into Gulp pipelines for converting Lisp-like syntax to ECMAScript. Version 0.0.2, last updated in 2015 with no recent releases. Limited to Node >=0.12.0. Minimal documentation and no active maintenance.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'gulp-lispyscript' ↓

cause Package not installed or missing from node_modules.

fix

Run 'npm install --save-dev gulp-lispyscript' and verify it's in the project directory.

error TypeError: lispyscript is not a function ↓

cause Package was required but the result is an object instead of a function, possibly due to incorrect import.

fix

Use 'var lispyscript = require('gulp-lispyscript');' (default export) instead of destructuring.

error Error: Plugin "gulp-lispyscript" not found ↓

cause Gulp plugin API mismatch; older streams may not be recognized.

fix

Ensure gulp version 3.x is used (not gulp 4+). Check gulp compatibility.

Warnings

deprecated Package has not been updated since 2015; unlikely to work with modern Node versions. ↓

fix Consider using a maintained alternative or fork the repository to update compatibility.

breaking Requires Node >=0.12.0; may fail on modern Node due to built-in module changes. ↓

fix Use an older Node version or upgrade the plugin code to support current Node APIs.

gotcha No source maps are generated unless gulp-sourcemaps is used; lispyscript() does not produce them by default. ↓

fix Wrap the stream in sourcemaps.init() and sourcemaps.write() as shown in the quickstart.

gotcha Input files must have a .js extension for gulp.src, but Lispyscript source files typically use .ls; this can cause confusion. ↓

fix Use gulp.src('src/**/*.ls') and ensure the plugin can handle non-.js extensions (test first).

Install

npm install gulp-lispyscript

yarn add gulp-lispyscript

pnpm add gulp-lispyscript

Imports

lispyscript
```
var lispyscript = require('gulp-lispyscript');
```
CommonJS require is the only supported module format; no ESM or TypeScript types provided.

(default)

wrong

const { lispyscript } = require('gulp-lispyscript');

correct

import lispyscript from 'gulp-lispyscript';

Package exports a single function; named destructuring will result in undefined.

TypeScript

wrong

import lispyscript from 'gulp-lispyscript'; // fails without declaration

correct

// No types; use @types/gulp-lispyscript or add your own

No TypeScript definitions; requires custom .d.ts or use of require.

Quickstart

Transpile Lispyscript files to JavaScript with source maps and concatenation.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var lispyscript = require('gulp-lispyscript');
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  return gulp.src('src/**/*.ls')
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
    .pipe(lispyscript())
    .pipe(concat('all.js'))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
