how to use browserify in windows

Question

I am trying browserify and I have the following files in my project directory

• node_models/.bin - where browserify is located

• sample.js

  module.exports = 'Hello, world';
  

• index.js

  window.alert(require('./sample'));
  

Can somebody help me how to run it using browserify? I'm using Windows.

Answer 1

All you should need to do is run this command in the project directory:

node_modules\.bin\browserify index.js > bundle.js

However, you can make things a little more convinient by adding an entry under scripts in your package.json:

{
    ...
    "scripts": {
        "bundle": "browserify index.js > bundle.js"
    }
}

You can then build the bundle with this command:

npm run bundle
