Browserbuild

Browserbuild allows you to write code for the browser that leverages require, module and exports, but that gets exposed as a global.

It doesn't enforce any script loaders on the user to leverage the compiled library.

Example

  1. Write for Node

    lib/hithere.js

    var b = require('./b')
     
    module.exports = function () {
      alert('hello ' + b());
    }

    lib/b.js

    module.exports = function () {
      return 'world';
    }
    
  2. Build for browser!

    $ browserbuild -m hithere -b lib/ `find lib -name '*.js'` > my-library.js
  3. Use!

    <script src="my-library.js"></script>
    <script>
      hithere();
    </script> 

Features

  • Write code like you would write for Node.JS.
    • No wrappers
    • No undefined type checking for module or window.
  • No new patterns
    • No AMD, no require.async, no CommonJS transport proposals.
    • Doesn't depend on require implementations on the client.
    • It exposes your module as a single global, like jQuery, io, _. Just like everyone is used to.
  • No code bloat.
    • The conversion for the browser only adds a few lines of code.
    • No trouble debugging.
  • debug integration
    • Make dev builds with debugging enabled.
