Execute arbitrary node script in gulp

I want to run an index.js file as a part of my gulp process. I could add node index.js through something like gulp-shell as described in this thread (How to run bash commands in gulp?) but it seems there should be an easier way.

I figured there would be a plugin called gulp-node or something to do this but it doesn't exist. How do others do it without turning your initial script into a gulp plugin, which seems intrusive?

You can use var data = require('./path/to/index') to load/run the index.js module in your Gulp task and send any exported information to data. You can read more about require and Node.js modules here.
