// Include gulp
var gulp = require('gulp'); 

// Include Plugins
var jshint       = require('gulp-jshint');
var sass         = require('gulp-sass'),
    neat         = require('node-neat').includePaths;

var imagemin     = require('gulp-imagemin');
var pngquant     = require('imagemin-pngquant');
var changed      = require('gulp-changed');
var plumber      = require('gulp-plumber');

var paths = {
    scss : ['./assets/styles/sass/**/*.scss','./assets/styles/sass/base/**/*.scss'],
    css  : './assets/styles/css',
    js   : './assets/js/*.js',
    img  : './assets/img/*'
};

// Lint Task
gulp.task('lint', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.js)
        .pipe(jshint())
        .pipe(jshint.reporter('default'));
});

// Compile Sass
gulp.task('sass', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.scss)
        .pipe(plumber({
            // better error handler
            // https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/259
            errorHandler: function (err) {
                console.log(err.message);
                this.emit('end');
            }
        }))
        .pipe(changed(paths.css))
        .pipe(sass({
            includePaths: require('node-bourbon').includePaths,
            includePaths: require('node-neat').includePaths,
        }))
        .pipe(autoprefixer(

            'android 4')
        )
        .pipe(plumber.stop())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.css));
});

// Concatenate & Minify JS
gulp.task('scripts', function() {
    return gulp.src(paths.js)
        .pipe(changed('./dist/js'))
        .pipe(concat('scripts.js'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'))
        .pipe(rename('scripts.min.js'))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/js'));
});

// Image Optimization
gulp.task('imgopt', function () {
    return gulp.src(paths.img)
        .pipe(changed('./dist/img'))
        .pipe(imagemin({
            progressive: true,
            svgoPlugins: [{removeViewBox: false}],
            use: [pngquant()]
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/img'));
});

// Watch Files For Changes
gulp.task('watch', function() {
    gulp.watch(paths.js, ['lint', 'scripts']);
    gulp.watch(paths.scss, ['sass']);
});

// Default Task
gulp.task('default', ['lint', 'sass', 'scripts', 'imgopt', 'watch']);
