browserify and reactify multiple source and destination files - reactjs

Question

I'm converting my project from Grunt to Gulp, and have multiple input jsx and output js files. I'm trying to write a [simple] task that'll correctly combine the sources into separate app files. The directory structure is this:
├── dist
│   └── js
│   ├── app1.js
│   └── app2.js
└── src
├── app1.jsx
├── app2.jsx
└── components
├── Button.jsx
├── Dashboard.jsx
├── Item.jsx
├── List.jsx
└── Widget.jsx
Where app1.jsx loads some components and app2.jsx loads different ones. For example:
app1.jsx
var Button = require('./components/Button');
var List = require('./components/List');
var Item = require('./components/Item');
// etc
app2.jsx
var Button = require('./components/Button');
var Dashboard = require('./components/Dashboard');
var Widget = require('./components/Widget');
var List = require('./components/List');
// etc ...
Different app files will be used in different pages, and components will be shared between requiring apps.
So the idea is to run a task that'll run through the requirements for the different app files and compile the outputs using browserify and reactify to separate files unders dist/js/. I got it to work up to the react part using gulp-react, but handling the browserification part proved tricky - here's my gulpfile.js:
var react = require('gulp-react');
var browserify = require('browserify');
var transform = require('vinyl-transform');
var del = require('del');
var browserified = transform(function(filename) {
var b = browserify();
return b.bundle();
});
gulp.task('clean', function() {
del.bind(null, ['dist']);
});
gulp.task('react', ['clean'], function() {
return gulp.src(['src/*.jsx'])
.pipe(react())
.pipe(browserified)
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
This generates dist/js/{app1,app2}.js, but they only contain the JS code that defines the require(..) functionality, without the reactified source. If I remove the .pipe(browserified) statement, the files contain the correct reactified code, but don't load and requirements.
I would appreciate some pointers on what I'm doing wrong. thanks.

I think the problem is your path in:
gulp.task('react', ['clean'], function() {
return gulp.src(['src/*.jsx']) // here!
.pipe(react())
.pipe(browserified)
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
You are compiling app1.jsx and app2.jsx but not the components/*.jsx files. You can use globbing-patterns to fix it:
gulp.task('react', ['clean'], function() {
return gulp.src(['src/**/*.jsx']) // here!
.pipe(react())
.pipe(browserified)
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
Hope it helps :)
