How to remove comments without uglifying in gulp?

Question

I want to remove comments, but not uglify the code. Is it possible with gulp? Or is this something that requires bower or something else?

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. For future reference, you should be using the gulp plugin registry. Doing a quick search for 'comments' found this:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var strip = require('gulp-strip-comments');

gulp.task('default', function () {
  return gulp.src('template.js')
    .pipe(strip())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
