How does browserify bundle a universal module

Question

I know browserify can consume UMD modules by means of transforms, but when I want to build a lib using browserify, how can I build an UMD module? Is there any transform I can use?

Answer 1

If you want to build a UMD module with browserify use the standalone option. Like:

browserify('./entry.js', {
  standalone: 'moduleName',
})

Answer 2

From the CLI: browserify -s NameOfModule

This creates a standalone module exposed under the name of your choosing.

Utilize by loading the output file in a browser and access via window.NameOfModule, or see RequireJS docs on how to use it that way.
