gulp-browserify

Bundle modules with BrowserifyJS

Install

npm install --save gulp-browserify

Example

var gulp = require('gulp');
var browserify = require('gulp-browserify');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');

gulp.task('scripts', function() {
	//single entry point to browserify
	gulp.src(['src/index.js'])
		.pipe(browserify({
		  insertGlobals : true,
		  debug : true
		}))
		.pipe(concat('dest.js'))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('./build'))
});

gulp.task('default', function() {
	gulp.run('scripts');
});

Note : Supports streams too, pass {buffer : false} as option to gulp.src()

Options

noParse

Type : [String]

Array of file paths that Browserify should not attempt to parse for require() statements, which should improve compilation time for large library files that do not need to be parsed.

transform

Type : [String || function]

Specifies a pipeline of functions (or modules) through which the browserified bundle will be run. Below is an example of transform used with gulp-browserify to automatically compile coffeescript files for use in a bundle:

gulp.src(['src/**/*.coffee'])
    .pipe(browserify({
	transform : ['coffeeify'],
	insertGlobals : true,
	debug : true
    }))

debug

Type : Boolean

Enable source map support

Other Options

Any other options you provide will be passed through to browserify. This is useful for setting things like standalone or ignoreGlobals.

Events

prebundle

.on('prebundle', function(bundler){})

Event triggered just before invoking bundler.bundle() and provides bundler object to work with in the callback.

postbundle

.on('postbundle', function(src){})

Event triggered after the bundle process is over and provides the bundled data as arguemnt to the callback.
