Convert streaming vinyl files to use buffers.

An alternative to gulp-streamify that you can pipe to, instead of being required to wrap your streams.

var browserify = require('browserify')
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream')
var buffer = require('vinyl-buffer')
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify')
var size = require('gulp-size')
var gulp = require('gulp')

gulp.task('build', function() {
  var bundler = browserify('./index.js')

  return bundler.bundle()
    .pipe(source('index.js'))
    .pipe(buffer())
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(size())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
})

Usage

vinylBuffer()

Creates a transform stream that takes vinyl files as input, and outputs modified vinyl files as output. If file.isStream(), file.contents will be converted to a Buffer before being emitted again – otherwise, the file will be emitted immediately.
