Browserify

The library allows for using just one single <script> tag to load all JS files needed on a page.

Browserify will automatically handle dependencies and loading orders, just like require() does within Node.js.

This library is a community favorite, allowing JavaScript developers that fell in love with the way Node.js handles JavaScript code on the server-side to continue their working and code writing habits on the client-side without wasting time with extra syntax.

Features:

• Uses the same original require() syntax
• Enables npm modules in the browser
• Allows CoffeeScript to be executed in the browser
• Ports some Node.js built-ins
• Support for various compile methods
• Watch mode automatically recompiles when files change
• Debug mode for testing
• Cross-browser support
