I have a folder inside my "assets" that contains multiple javascripts files. I have many folders in my assets, one for each purpose and all managed by Laravel Elixir with Gulp:

/assets
    /css
        /general
            style.css
            themes.css
        /styles
            products.css
            single_item.css
            customer.css
    /js
        /general
            core.js
            site.js
        /scripts
            products.js
            single_item.js
            customer.js

I already use "scripts" and "styles" plugin with Elixir in order to minify and combine all JS scripts from assets/js/general and all CSS files from assets/css/general into one single file inside /public/www/js/script.js and /public/www/css/style.css respectively.

Now what I need is having Elixir to minify every single file individually inside assets/js/scripts and to put them all inside /public/www/js/scripts without combining them into one single file. I also need the same for CSSs inside assets/css/styles.

I could use "scripts" and "styles" specifying every single file manually, like that:

Elixir(function (mix) {
	mix

	.scripts([
		'assets/js/scripts/products.js'
	], 'public/manager/js/scripts/products.js')

	.scripts([
		'assets/js/scripts/single_item.js'
	], 'public/manager/js/scripts/single_item.js')
	
	/* ... and so on .... */
});

But let's say it would be frustrating...

I found a nice Gulp task here: https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/blob/master/docs/recipes/running-task-steps-per-folder.md It does the trick, even though it handles directories instead of files: it creates a minified version of all files contained in each directory, the result is as many minified files as the number of directories. I could put every file inside a directory. Anyway I wasn't able to create a new Elixir plugin inside /node_modules/laravel-elixir/tasks that integrates that task (I'm very new to Elixir). I tried to paste that script inside my gulpfile.js after the Elixir definitions, but I found these problems (I renamed the task name to "scriptsfolder"):

• Running gulp.task('default', ['scriptsfolder']); ignores Elixir tasks;
• Running gulp.task('scriptsfolder'); runs Elixir tasks but not scriptsfolder;
• That script is not exactly what I need: I need all files in one directory to be minified individually and not combined, not all files inside each directory...

I really can't figure out how to integrate this behaviour.

Is there a way to integrate that script (or a better version that handles files instead of directories) into Elixir? Or is there a way to achieve my desired behaviour with Elixir? Of course I also need to be able to watch that process as well as I'm already doing with the other Elixir tasks.

Thank you.
