This is a complete rewrite of our API Documentation for gulp 4. We'd really appreciate some thorough review - as we've stared at these for months.

A few things to note:

  • Each API is in it's own document because things were really unwieldy with a single doc previously
  • Tables are used extensively to pack a lot of data densely but still be readable.
  • API Concepts was created because we had a lot of terminology that kept needing to be defined or linked - I don't believe it is complete but added the things I could come up with.
  • Everything should be completely updated for the shipped 4.0 - If not, that's a mistake that should be reported.
  • Not all error cases/messages are documented, especially for src()/dest() because they touch the filesystem and might error in untested ways based on a user's filesytem/configuration.
  • We pulled in all the external docs we could hunt down and rewrote them to match our style - so you'll see massive tables of options for src() and watch() and maybe some others.

I'll comment inline with a few other questions we had on specific parts.
