Option for target path

[ghost]

My project grew pretty big and so I decided to move all .json files into a /configs folder, so that the root directory of the project is not so overcrowded. I managed to get this to work for everything, except for typings. I then tried this gulp plugin to be able to load the typings.json from /configs/typings.json. This works quite good so far, except for the typings folder being created inside /configs and not on the root (/typings). I then tried to pipe the stream once again with gulp.dest('.') as param but this does not work. I get an error message stating "something went wrong: Check if path is correct: /<absolute-path-to-my-project>/configs/typings.json". Well, the path is correct. And by the way, a copy of /configs/typings.json gets created in /typings.json.

So here's a wrap-up:

gulp.src("./configs/typings.json")
    .pipe(typings())

In /gulpfile.ts works, but creates the typings folder in /configs and not in /. Adding dest like this:

gulp.src("./configs/typings.json")
    .pipe(typings())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('.'))

Throws an error: "something went wrong: Check if path is correct: /<absolute-path-to-my-project>/configs/typings.json", the typings file does exist and is valid. This creates a copy of /configs/typings.json in /typings.json.

So heres my question/feature-request:

Is it possible (to add a feature) to pipe the typings stuff to a destination folder of my choice?

Edit: Okay I now see that dest just can't work, but it would be nice to add some options to operate the plugin somehow like this:

gulp.src('path/to/typings.json')
    .pipe(typings({dest: 'path/to/dest'})

I'll see if there is some time next week to look into this. As a quick solution you can always move things in place yourself. Take a look at shelljs or fs-extra for that matter.

Thank you very much, I'll try that aswell for now :)
