Browserify

Browserify

Now let’s move this project from Node to the browser. To do this, we’d like to bundle all our modules into one JavaScript file. Fortunately, that’s exactly what Browserify does. Even better, it lets us use the CommonJS module system used by Node, which is the default TypeScript emit. That means our TypeScript and Node setup will transfer to the browser basically unchanged.

First, install browserify, tsify, and vinyl-source-stream. tsify is a Browserify plugin that, like gulp-typescript, gives access to the TypeScript compiler. vinyl-source-stream lets us adapt the file output of Browserify back into a format that gulp understands called vinyl.

npm install --save-dev browserify tsify vinyl-source-stream
