SubStack on github has a module called node-browserify.

It will compress and bundle your modules and deliver it as a single js file, but you use it just like Node.js (example from module readme):

    
    
    


    foo = 

From the module description:

Browserify

Browser-side require() for your node modules and npm packages**

Browserify bundles everything ahead-of-time at the mount point you specify. None of this ajaxy module loading business.

More features:

• recursively bundle dependencies of npm modules
• uses es5-shim for browsers that suck
• filters for {min,ugl}ification
• coffee script works too!
