    The getColor method returns an instance of IColorInfo.

}

Gulpfile.js needs a line something like:

 

gulp.task('package', () => {
    // Zip to .pbiviz file
    gulp.src('dist/**')
        .pipe(zip('MyModule.pbiviz'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});

to create the package.

    Please consider migration to PBIVIZ tools instead of gulp.
