JS Minify

var gulp = require('gulp');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');

var DEST = 'build/';

// example of gulp minify build
gulp.task('build', function() {
  console.log('Building your JS min files ...');
  return gulp.src('./examples/*.js')
    // This will output the non-minified version
    .pipe(gulp.dest(DEST))
    // This will minify and rename to foo.min.js
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(rename({ extname: '.min.js' }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(DEST));
