// ES6-style template string
gulp.src('./foo/*.js')
  .pipe(header('Hello ${name}\n', { name : 'World'} ))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))


// using data from package.json
var pkg = require('./package.json');

  ' * @license <%= pkg.license %>',
  ' */',

gulp.src('./foo/*.js')
  .pipe(header(banner, { pkg : pkg } ))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))


// reading the header file from disk
var fs = require('fs');
gulp.src('./foo/*.js')
  .pipe(header(fs.readFileSync('header.txt', 'utf8'), { pkg : pkg } ))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'))

return gulp.src([
        'src/*.coffee',
    ])
    .pipe(header(banner, { pkg : pkg } ))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.init()) // init sourcemaps *after* header
    .pipe(coffee({
        bare: true
    }))
    .pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'))
