The `webtorrent` module should work with browserify

[feross]

To use WebTorrent right now, you need to use bittorrent-client, the module which webtorrent uses internally. This is because webtorrent is currently doing a bunch of node-specific things like reading from the filesystem and starting an http server.

Let's use the browser field spec to exclude these files so people can just do require('webtorrent')

This is fixed as of webtorrent 0.6.0. Now require('webtorrent') will work in the browser!

Here's an example of how to use WebTorrent:

var dragDrop = require('drag-drop/buffer')
var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent')

var client = new WebTorrent()

// when user drops files on the browser, create a new torrent and start seeding it!
dragDrop('body', function (files) {
  client.seed(files, onTorrent)
})

function onTorrent (torrent) {
  console.log('Torrent info hash: ' + torrent.infoHash)

  // go through each file in the torrent, create a link to it, and add it to the DOM
  torrent.files.forEach(function (file) {
    file.createReadStream().pipe(concat(function (buf) {
      var a = document.createElement('a')
      a.download = file.name
      a.href = URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([ buf ]))
      a.textContent = 'download ' + file.name
      document.body.appendChild(a)
    }))
  })
}

// call this function to download a torrent!
function download (infoHash) {
  client.download({
    infoHash: infoHash,
    announce: [ 'wss://tracker.webtorrent.io' ]
  }, onTorrent)
}

Added this example code to the main readme!

Nice !
I guess "webtorrent.js (bittorrent client for the browser -- coming soon)" is not needed anymore ?
Now there's just the streaming in the html video tag missing and torrent streaming in the browser is done, right ?

Yep! Updated the readme.
