browserify-modules v1.0.5

This helper allows you to easily define path aliases in browserify.

Usage Example

npm i browserify-modules --save-dev

var browserify     = require('gulp-browserify');
var define_modules = require('browserify-modules');
var modules        = require('./src/modules.js');

gulp.task('game.js', function () {
	gulp.src('src/main.js')
		.pipe(browserify().on('prebundle', define_modules(__dirname + '/src/', modules)))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('./stage'));
});

Our ./src/module.js could look like this,

module.exports = [
	{
		path: 'lib',
		name: 'lib'
	},
	{
		path: 'engine',
		name: 'engine'
	},
	{
		path: 'game',
		name: 'game'
	}
];

You can then do things such as require('lib/merge') from anywhere instead of require('../../../../lib/merge')

If you try to load a directory, for example require('lib/SomeDir') browserify will try to load SomeDir/index.node; the helper will take care of the details required to make that happen.
