Gulp script to pack a node app ready for uploading as webjob in azure portal.

nodeapptowebjob_gulpfile.js

const gulp = require('gulp');
const zip = require('gulp-zip');

gulp.task('default', () =>
    gulp.src(['**/settings/**/*.json', '**/run.js', '**/app/**/*.js', '**/node_modules/**/*','settings.job'])
        .pipe(zip('YOUR_APP_NAME' + (new Date()).toJSON() + '.zip'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(''))
);

// 1.The script assumes your app have some settings stored as .json in a drawer named settings (remove if not, ofcourse).
// 2.The main script should have the name run.js, else the azure webjob system executes in sort order.
//    (That's why app.js works until you make a file named about.js)
// 3. All the other scripts stored in a drawer named app
// 4. All node modules must be included
// 5  settings.job if you have any.
// 6. Filename is 'YOUR_APP_NAME' + a simple version system.
// 7. Store the zipped file in main directory, or replace '' with 'YOUR_DRAWER'
