User configuration for a gulpfile.

_User-specific gulp configuration.md

We use the following to allow different users or computers to have their own gulp configuration.

config.js

/**
 * Get the normal configuration entry, and if a user one exists, merge those values in.
 */
module.exports = () => {
	const defaultConfig = require('./gulp-config');

	try {
		const devConfig = require('./gulp-dev-config');

		if (devConfig) {
			return Object.assign(defaultConfig, devConfig);
		}
	} catch (e) {
		return defaultConfig;
	}
};

gulp-config.json

// The normal configuration json file.
{
  "projectFolder": "C:\\inetpub\\Sitecore\\Website"
}

gulp-config.user.json

// Create a user configuration json file.
{
  "projectFolder": "D:\\Sitecore\\Website"
}

gulp-config.user.json.example

// Create an example file to help developers understand the functionality is available.
{
  "projectFolder": ""D:\\Sitecore\\Website"
}

gulpfile.js

// Run the config utility immediately.
const config = require('./config')();
