Apostrophe Browserify

This Apostrophe 2 module enables you to bundle your frontend code using browserify while taking advantage of automatic minification and Apostrophe's asset pipeline.

When using the development option watchify will run, recompiling your assets any time they are saved.

To use it, run npm install apostrophe-browserify --save and add it to your app.js configuration:

{
  ...

  'apostrophe-browserify': {
    // files are specified relative to the project directory (app.js)
    files: [ './public/js/modules/_site.js' ]
  }

  ...
}

Configuration

Apostrophe will save your bundled file to the public/js/ directory. By default it creates _site-compiled.js, however the filename can be configured using the outputFile option.

{
  'apostrophe-browserify': {
    // The files to compile. All files in the array are
    // compiled to a single output file.
    files: [ './public/js/modules/_site.js' ],

    // The filename of your bundled file.
    // Defaults to '_site-compiled.js'.
    outputFile: '_site-compiled.js',

    // When this is true `watchify` will recompile your
    // assets any time they are saved. Defaults to `false`.
    development: false,

    // When this is true and `development` is also true
    // watchify will log a message in the console each
    // time your bundle is recompiled. Defaults to `true`.
    verbose: true,

    // The base directory for requiring in local files.
    // This allows you to require other files from the
    // same directory or from relative directories.
    // Defaults to __dirname + '/public/js'.
    basedir: __dirname + '/public/js',

    // Pass additional options into browserify if
    // necessary. Overrides any module-level options.
    browserifyOptions: {

    }
  }
