---

Gulp plugin which splits CSS files suitably for Internet Explorer < 10. In this version, cachebusting is using a sha1 hash so no unnecessary busting is happening.

This is the a Gulp wrapper around bless.js (see blesscss.com).

Installation

``js
npm install gulp-bless
`

Usage

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

gulp.task('css', function() {
gulp.src('style.css')
.pipe(bless())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./splitCSS'));
});

gulp.task('default', ['watch']);

// Rerun the task when a file changes
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulp.watch('./css/*.css', ['css']);
});
`

- imports - A boolean (which defaults to true). Determines whether or not the first chunk / "blessed" file @imports the others.
- cacheBuster - A boolean (which defaults to true). If imports is true, this will add a random query parameter value to prevent against aggressive caching.
- log - A boolean (which defaults to false). Logs a small bit of information about the process.
- suffix - Either a string or a function (which defaults to "-blessed").
- If it is a string then it will be appended to the original file name before the index. E.g.
`javascript
//Assume you have long.css that is to be splitted into 3 parts, following code will
//produce 3 files: long.css, long-part1.css, long-part2.css
gulp.src('long.css')
.pipe(bless{
suffix: '-part'
})
.pipe(gulp.dest('./'));

`
- If it is a function then whatever returned by the function is appended to the original file name. The function takes in a 1-based index E.g.
`javascript
//Assume you have long.css that is to be splitted into 3 parts, following code will
//produce 3 files: long.css, long-functionpart1.css, long-functionpart2.css
gulp.src('long.css')
.pipe(bless{
suffix: function(index) {
return "-functionpart" + index;
}
})
.pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
`

Example:

`javascript
gulp.src('long.css')
.pipe(bless({
imports: false
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./'))

You should minify your CSS after it goes through gulp-bless. See BlessCSS/bless#90 as to why.

Does this support sourcemaps?

Yes. This can be used with gulp-sourcemaps.
