bobr

The module goal is to update browser property in package.json and use bower components in browserify by their names.

Currently, browserify can resolves paths only packages installed via npm, to use components installed via bower, you should manually update browser property in package.json, or use relative paths in require(). Bobr updates browser property in package.json, allows you use bower modules by name in require().

// package.json
browser: [ // updated by bobr
  "jquery": "./bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
  ...
]

// in your module
var $ = require('jquery');

Install

npm i -D bobr

Usage

Bobr should be used in task runners, such as Gulp or Grunt. Below, the example of gulp task which run Bobr:

var gulp       = require('gulp');
var bobr       = require('bobr');
var browserify = require('browserify');

// Update browser property
gulp.task('bobr', function() {
  bobr.run({
    overrides: [
      {
        name: 'jquery'
        newName: 'jqueryModule'
      }
    ],
    browserExternalFile: './config/browser-external.json',
  });
});

// Browserify modules, will be run, after bobr will be finished
gulp.task('browserify', ['bobr'], function(cb) {
  // create bundles
}

Options

• overrides - an array of objects to override module names. By default, module name is a js file name without extension, use this option to override this.
• browserExternalFile - a path to a json file with your own modules, which you want to browserify. Bobr concatenate these modules with bower modules.
