Question

What is require() in gulpfile.js?

Answer 1

require() is used to load core gulp and gulp plugins. You need to load all the gulp plugins in your gulpfile.js using require(), if you wish to use them.

var gulp = require('gulp'),

    jshint = require('gulp-jshint'),

    uglify = require('gulp-uglify'),

    concat = require('gulp-concat');
