BrowserInc

Used as a postinstall hook, this command-line utility can be used to re-include browserify excludes (including those specified in dependent packages).

Why?

There are certain situations in which the --no-browser-field browserify flag is not accurate enough. Where one is running a browserified package in a specialized environment (eg. Chrome extension/app) and wants to exclude only certain parts of the browser field across multiple package dependencies.

This is where browserinc comes in.

Installation

npm install browserinc

Usage

What browserinc essentially does is edit the dependent package.json files of the root module and removes undesired browser-field excludes from them (thus including them).

The easiest way to use browserinc would be to include it as a postinstall hook in your package.json eg.:

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "browserinc"
}

In the same file, be sure to add a "browserinc" field with an "include" array that would specify which packages/files you'd like to include. eg.:

"browserinc": {
  "include": [
      "package1",
        "./path/to/specific/file"
    ]
}
