## Usage

```js
var concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
  gulp.src('./lib/*.js')
    .pipe(concat('all.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});
```

This will concat files by your operating systems newLine. It will take the base directory from the first file that passes through it.

Files will be concatenated in the order that they are specified in the `gulp.src` function. For example, to concat `./lib/file3.js`, `./lib/file1.js` and `./lib/file2.js` in that order, the following code will create a task to do that:

```js
var concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
  gulp.src(['./lib/file3.js', './lib/file1.js', './lib/file2.js'])
    .pipe(concat('all.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))
});
```

To change the newLine simply pass an object as the second argument to concat with newLine being whatever (\r\n if you want to support any OS to look at it)

For instance:

```js
.pipe(concat('main.js', {newLine: ';'}))
```

To specify `cwd`, `path` and other [vinyl](https://github.com/wearefractal/vinyl) properties, gulp-concat accepts `Object` as first argument:

```js
var concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
  gulp.src(['./lib/file3.js', './lib/file1.js', './lib/file2.js'])
    .pipe(concat({ path: 'new.js', stat: { mode: 0666 }}))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'))
});
```

This will concat files into `./dist/new.js`.

### Source maps

Source maps can be generated by using [gulp-sourcemaps](https://www.npmjs.org/package/gulp-sourcemaps):

```js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');

gulp.task('javascript', function() {
  gulp.src('src/**/*.js')
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
      .pipe(concat('all.js'))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
```
