Unable to override ignore on node_modules

[cheapsteak]

Setting the ignore option to something else still causes packages in node_modules to be ignored.

{
    optional: ['selfContained'],
    experimental: true,
    ignore: 'blarg'
};

If I'm requiring a file inside node_modules I still get

[15:55:50] gulp-notify: [Compile Error] Parsing file /Users/me/my-project/node_modules/some-repo-with-es6/src/file-with-es6.js: Unexpected token (37:22)

This is default browserify behaviour that you cannot override. Try my suggestion here.

Thank you! 🙇 That worked

Sorry to bug you again 🙇
Is there a way to declare what options need to be passed to the babelify transform of modules inside of node_modules?
Currently it's being called with only the default options.
I tried declaring the options in the package.json of the module inside node_modules but it doesn't seem to be read

"browserify": {
    "transform": [
      "babelify"
    ]
},
"babelify": {
    "optional": ["selfContained"],
    "experimental": true
},

[sebmck]

"browserify": {
    "transform": [
      [
        "babelify",
        {
          "optional": ["selfContained"],
          "experimental": true
        }
      ]
    ]
}

should work.

Holy crap, I'm an idiot.
Thank you so much.

To complement @sebmck's answer, users may want to have a look at https://github.com/substack/module-deps#packagejson-transformkey which browserify internally uses for setting transform options from the package.json file. To quote the documentation, make sure you "use a 2-element array inside of the primary array" - I've just been bitten by this and spent/lost some time figuring out what was wrong (typo).
