# gulp-nop [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hoho/gulp-nop.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hoho/gulp-nop) «No operation». Useful when you want primitive conditional execution in a long pipeline. This plugin happened to exist just because `gulp` and `gulp-util` are two different packages in different repositories and I've overlooked `noop()` from `gulp-util` package. You probably should use `gulp-util`. From the other side, it is a bit lighter than `gulp-util` package and if you need just «no operation» from there, here it is. Install: ```sh npm install gulp-nop --save-dev ``` Example: ```js var nop = require('gulp-nop'); gulp.task('some-task', function() { return gulp.src(['some files']) .pipe(some()) .pipe(tasks()) .pipe(along()) .pipe(minify ? minified() : nop()) .pipe(pipeline()) .pipe(gulp.dest('./build')); }); ```
