Browserify and bower. Canonical approach
You can try to install via debowerify
The package.json may then look as follows:
{ "name": "browserify-begin", "version": "0.0.0", "dependencies": { }, "browserify": { "transform": [ "debowerify" ] }, "devDependencies": { "browserify": "^4.1.5", "debowerify": "^0.7.1", "grunt": "^0.4.5" }}Given angular is installed with
bower install angularThen within the js file will be as follows:
require("angular");
You can use browserify-shim and configure the bower-installed modules in your package.json like this:
"browser": { "angular": "./bower_components/angular/angular.js", "angular-resource": "./bower_components/angular-resource/angular-resource.js"},"browserify-shim": { "angular": { "exports": "angular" }, "angular-resource": { "depends": ["./bower_components/angular/angular.js:angular"] }},Then your code can require them by their short name as if there were regular npm modules.
