Small refactors to improve code safety

[danielsitek]

This pull request makes minor improvements to error handling and file object creation in the gulpTateruCli plugin. The changes simplify the code and make it more robust when handling generated files and errors.

Most important changes:

Error Handling Improvements:

• Enhanced error reporting by ensuring that only error messages are passed to PluginError, preventing potential issues when non-Error objects are thrown.

File Object Creation:

• Improved creation of Vinyl file objects by explicitly setting the path and cwd properties, and by ensuring that contents is always a buffer (defaulting to an empty string if undefined).

Code Simplification:

• Removed the unnecessary pluginOptions variable, using options directly instead.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved error handling to ensure error messages are properly formatted and reported.

• Refactor

  • Enhanced internal processing for improved stability and code clarity. No changes to public APIs.

Walkthrough

Refactored src/index.ts to streamline plugin options handling, improve Vinyl object construction with explicit field assignments, provide sensible defaults for empty file contents, and enhance error message extraction with proper type handling.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Plugin implementation improvements src/index.ts	Removed intermediate pluginOptions variable; refactored Vinyl object creation with explicit field assignments (path, cwd, base); added fallback to empty string for empty contents; improved error handling to extract string messages before passing to PluginError.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Error handling change: Verify the error message extraction logic handles all error types safely and maintains backward compatibility.
• Vinyl field assignments: Confirm the explicit path, cwd, and base assignments produce the expected object structure.
• Contents default behavior: Ensure defaulting to empty string for falsy contents is the desired semantic behavior in all use cases.

Poem

🐰 A refactor most tidy, with errors now clean,
Vinyl fields explicit—the clearest I've seen!
No spreading, just logic, with defaults so bright,
The code's sleeker now, and feels oh-so-right!

src/index.ts (3)

85-85: LGTM! Cleaner options handling.

Spreading options directly into the core() call removes unnecessary indirection and simplifies the code.

---

92-97: LGTM! Explicit field assignment improves safety.

The explicit assignment of Vinyl fields is clearer than object spreading and makes the data flow more obvious. The || '' fallback for contents prevents potential runtime errors when generatedFile.contents is falsy, ensuring Buffer.from() always receives a valid string.

---

103-105: LGTM! Improved error handling with proper type checking.

The error message extraction properly handles both Error instances and non-Error values, preventing potential runtime issues from accessing .message on arbitrary caught values. This is a TypeScript/JavaScript best practice.
