原来用的React+Webpack时，那种同步压缩修改、实时动态刷新页面的感觉真的太棒了。但如果使用Express+ejs+less的话，配置webpack非常繁琐，所以，一番折腾后，于是有了Express+Less+Gulp的配置方案，效果见下图，项目地址：https://github.com/ycjcl868/Express_Gulp

目的

我使用Express+Ejs+Less开发，想开发时对所有资源进行压缩并同步到浏览器端，Google搜索一遍，都不是太符合我的项目要求。于是看着Gulp文档结合npmjs.com终于折腾完毕。

配置

下面说下我的配置方法：

我的目录结构：

├── app.js   # Express Server
├── bin
│   └── www  # 启动Server
├── dist     # 编译压缩目录(部署目录)
│   ├── css
│   ├── img
│   ├── js
│   ├── views
│   └── lib  # 第三方库目录(bower安装)
├── .bowerrc # bower前端安装库
├── gulpfile.js  # Gulp配置文件
├── package.json
├── public       # 开发目录
│   ├── img
│   ├── js
│   └── less
├── routes
│   ├── index.js
│   └── users.js
└── views      # html
    ├── error.ejs
    └── index.ejs

package.json文件内容：

{
  "name": "voteapp",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "app.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "~1.13.2",

  },

  },

gulpfile.js文件

'use strict';
var gulp = require('gulp');
var minify = require('gulp-clean-css');
var browserSync = require('browser-sync');
var nodemon = require('gulp-nodemon');
var cache = require('gulp-cache');

var cssBase64 = require('gulp-base64');
var del = require('del');
// 删除文件
gulp.task('clean', function(cb) {
    del(['dist/css/*', 'dist/js/*', 'dist/img/*','dist/views/*'], cb)
});
// 压缩ejs
gulp.task('ejs', function() {
  return gulp.src('views/**/*.ejs')
      .pipe(htmlmin({collapseWhitespace: true}))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/views/'));
});
// 压缩less
gulp.task('less', function () {
  return gulp.src('public/less/**/*.less')
      .pipe(less({
          paths: [ path.join(__dirname, 'less', 'includes') ]
      }))
      .pipe(cssBase64())
      .pipe(minify())
      .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css/'));

// 压缩js
gulp.task('js', function () {
    return gulp.src('public/js/**/*.js')
        .pipe(jshint())
        .pipe(jshint.reporter('default'))
        .pipe(uglify({ compress: true }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js/'))
});
// 压缩img
gulp.task('img', function() {
  return gulp.src('public/img/**/*')        //引入所有需处理的Img
    .pipe(imagemin({ optimizationLevel: 3, progressive: true, interlaced: true }))      //压缩图片
    // 如果想对变动过的文件进行压缩，则使用下面一句代码
    // .pipe(cache(imagemin({ optimizationLevel: 3, progressive: true, interlaced: true })))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/img/'))
    // .pipe(notify({ message: '图片处理完成' }));
});
// 浏览器同步，用7000端口去代理Express的3008端口
gulp.task('browser-sync', ['nodemon'], function() {
  browserSync.init(null, {
    proxy: "http://localhost:3008",
        files: ["dist/views/*.*","dist/css/*.*","dist/js/*.*","dist/img/*.*"],
        browser: "google chrome",
        port: 7000
  });
});
// 开启Express服务
gulp.task('nodemon', function (cb) {
  var started = false;
  return nodemon({
    script: 'bin/www'
  }).on('start', function () {
    // to avoid nodemon being started multiple times
    // thanks @matthisk
    if (!started) {
      cb();
      started = true;
    }
  });
}); 
gulp.task('build',['clean','less','ejs','js','img'],function () {
});
gulp.task('default',['browser-sync'],function(){
  // 将你的默认的任务代码放这
    // 监听所有css文档
    gulp.watch('public/less/*.less', ['less']);
    // 监听所有.js档
    gulp.watch('public/js/*.js', ['js']);
    // 监听所有图片档
    gulp.watch('public/img/**/*', ['img']);
    // 监听ejs
    gulp.watch('views/**/*.ejs', ['ejs']);
   // 创建实时调整服务器 -- 在项目中未使用注释掉
  var server = livereload();
   // 监听 dist/ 目录下所有文档，有更新时强制浏览器刷新（需要浏览器插件配合或按前文介绍在页面增加JS监听代码）
  gulp.watch(['public/dist/**']).on('change', function(file) {
    server.changed(file.path);
  });
});

app.js文件

var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'dist/views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'dist')));
app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  var err = new Error('Not Found');
  err.status = 404;
  next(err);
});
// error handlers
// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
  app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
    res.status(err.status || 500);
    res.render('error', {
      message: err.message,
      error: err
    });
  });
}
// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
  res.status(err.status || 500);
  res.render('error', {
    message: err.message,
    error: {}
  });
});
module.exports = app;

然后先在根目录下执行安装：
npm install，使用时先运行gulp build将文件压缩、打包、编译，然后再执行gulp开启自动更新服务器。
