broccoli-watchify

The broccoli-watchify plugin bundles your assets with
watchify.

Installation

 npm install --save-dev broccoli-watchify

Example

 const watchify = require('broccoli-watchify');

const options = {
  browserify: {
    entries: ['./app.js'],
    debug: true
  },
  nodeModulesPath: process.cwd() + '/node_modules', // provide the node_modules you want to resolve from
  outputFile: 'bundled/app.js',
  cache: true,
  init: function (b) {
    b.transform('reactify', {'es6': true});
    b.external('$');
  }
};

const tree = watchify(tree, options);

API

watchify(tree, options)

• tree: A broccoli tree or a directory path as a string

Options

• browserify: (defaults to {}) Options passed to the browserify constructor
• outputFile: (defaults to "./browserify.js") Output file
• cache: (defaults to true) A boolean flag to potentially switch the caching off and act like a plain browserify. Can be helpful in assembling bundles for production and not including all the full local path names in the bundle, which is not possible in the watchify mode.
• init: (defaults to a no-op) A callback function that receives the browserify instance after it's created. Use this to call any of the browserify API methods on the instance, including add, require, external, exclude and so on.
• nodeModulesPath: (defaults to process.cwd()/node_modules) Absolute path to node_modules.

Changelog

2.0.0

• expose a way to configure which node_modules to resolve from
• support broccoli 1x and 2x
• modernize codebase
• upgrade dependencies

1.0.0

• No longer use watchify directly, as we do not require its watcher and it is not configurable. Rather we populate the cache, the same way watchify does.
• Stable output, so downstream plugins aren't invalidated if our output doesn't change.
• Much faster.
• Basic tests.
• Browserified files are browserified relative to the broccoli inputPath, not the realpath.

0.2.0

• Add the init option to provide a possibility of configuration of the browserify instance with a custom function.
• Remove the entries and require options.
• Add the cache option to turn off the watchify behavior and act like a plain browserify.

0.1.3

• Initial release
