What is browser-resolve?
The browser-resolve npm package is designed to resolve module dependencies in a way that is compatible with how browsers resolve modules, as opposed to the Node.js resolution algorithm. This is particularly useful for bundling packages for use in the browser where the Node.js module resolution strategy (e.g., handling of the 'main' field in package.json) does not apply.
Resolving browser-specific module entry points
This feature allows developers to resolve the path to a module's browser-specific entry point, if specified in the module's package.json, instead of the Node.js entry point. This is useful for bundling modules for the browser.
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('module-name', { filename: '/path/to/file.js' }, function (err, res) {
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log(res);
});
