Limits something from running more than N times in parallel.
Usage-
constlimiter=require('gulp-limiter');
// later
gulp.task('foo',function(){
constlimit=limiter(5);
// nb. you should be merging these streams before return too
manyTasks.forEach(function(){
gulp.src(files)
**.pipe(limit(complexTask()))**
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dest'));
});
});
Limiter accepts a maximum number of tasks to run in parallel.
If unspecified, uses the number of CPUs in your machine.
If negative, uses the number of CPUs minus that number.
