resolve-shimify

Custom resolve for browserify.

Here are two typical cases where this plugin comes in handy:

1. Make require('react') equal to require('react/dist/react.js'), even for react components installed in node_modules, most of them not specifying a browser-filed in package.json
2. Make symlinks resolved to their real paths, so that they can be treated as local packages and transforms from package.json may be applicable. You can use realpathify.

This plugin hacks a private property of the browserify instance (b._bresolve). It does not transform file contents, but makes twists to the behaviour of resolving the module paths. So it is much more faster than applying a global transform.

Usage

var browserify = require('browserify');
var shimify = require('resolve-shimify');

browserify(opts)
.plugin(shimify, { react: 'react/dist/react.js' })
;

b.plugin(shimify, shimFn)

shimFn(module)

Type: Function

Return: String, undefined

This function is called before resolving, to transform module to some other value to resolve.

If the returned value is falsy, the original module value will be used.

b.plugin(shimify, shims)

shims

Type: Object

A map for transforming module.

Each key must be either an absolute path or a module path.
