Package Exports

browserify
browserify/builtins/events
browserify/package.json

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (browserify) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Browserify

Browser-side require() for your node modules and npm packages

Browserify bundles everything ahead-of-time at the mount point you specify. None of this ajaxy module loading business.

More features:

recursively bundle dependencies of npm modules
uses es5-shim for browsers that suck
filters for {min,ugl}ification
coffee script works too!

examples

simple example

server.js

var connect = require('connect');
var server = connect.createServer();

server.use(connect.staticProvider(__dirname));
server.use(require('browserify')({
    base : __dirname + '/js',
    mount : '/browserify.js',
    filter : require('jsmin').jsmin,
}));

server.listen(9797);
console.log('Listening on 9797...');

js/foo.js

var bar = require('./bar');
var baz = require('./baz');

module.exports = function (x) {
    return x * bar.coeff(x) + baz.wowsy(x);
};

js/bar.js

exports.coeff = function (x) {
    return Math.log(x) / Math.log(2) + 1;
};

js/baz.coffee

exports.wowsy = (beans) ->
    beans * 3 - 2

methods

var browserify = require('browserify');

browserify(opts)

Return a middleware that will host up a browserified script at opts.mount or "/browserify.js" if unspecified. All other options are passed to browserify.bundle(opts) to generate the source.

browserify.bundle(opts)

Return a string with the bundled source code given the options in opts:

base : recursively bundle all .js and .coffee files in this directory or Array of directories
shim : whether to include es5-shim for legacy javascript engines; true if unspecified
require : bundle all of these module names and their dependencies

compatability

Browserify exports a faux process object with these attributes:

nextTick(fn) - does setTimeout(fn, 0)
version - set to 'browser' for browser code
