serve-browserify

HTTP handler for serving browserify bundles

Example

var http = require("http")
var path = require("path")
// Simple http router
var Router = require("routes-router")
// Simple static file server
var ecstatic = require("ecstatic")
 
var ServeBrowserify = require("serve-browserify")
 
var router = Router()
 
// ServeBrowserify(opts) returns a http handler
// to server browserified bundles. The suggestion is to
// server /browserify/foo as /browser/foo/index.js or
// /browserify/bar as /browser/bar.js
// also /browserify/x/y as /browser/x/y.js
router.addRoute("/browserify/*", ServeBrowserify({
    root: path.join(__dirname, "browser"),
    base: "/browserify"
}))
// static server to serve html page for example
router.addRoute("/", ecstatic({
    root: path.join(__dirname, "static"),
    autoIndex: true
}))
 
var server = http.createServer(router)
 
server.listen(9024, function () {
    console.log("demo server listening on port 9024")
})

ServeJavascript(opts?)

type RequestHandler := (req: HttpRequest, res: HttpResponse)
 
serve-browserify := ({
    root: String,
    base: String?,
    cache: Boolean?,
    gzip: Boolean?,
    cacheControl: String?,
    debug: Boolean?
}) => RequestHandler

ServeJavascript returns a function when given a root and opts will serve javascript files through browserify

Valid options are:

• root: The root folder location where it should look for javascript files to browserify & serve
• base: The base HTTP path where you are serving your assets from. This is only needed if you want to serve nested files
• cache: This will cache if enabled, which means every location browserify bundle get's cached after initial compilation. This also enables ETag's & HTTP caching
• gzip: This will enable gzipping the bundle and sending it as gzip'd encoded data to browsers if their accept-encoding matches
• cacheControl: This is a string you can set for the cache control header. It defaults to 'max-age=300, must-revalidate'
• debug: This is an option passed to browserify, when debug is set, browserify will embed source maps. Disable this in production to decrease file size
