browserify

I am using Browserify to compile a large Node.js application into a single file (using options --bare and --ignore-missing [to avoid troubles with lib-cov in Express]). I have some code to dynamically load modules based on what is available in a directory: var fs = require('fs'), path = require('path'); fs.readdirSync(__dirname).forEach(function (file) { if (file !== 'index.js' && fs.statSync(path.join(__dirname, file)).isFile()) { module.exports[file.substring(0, file.length-3)] = require(path.join(__dirname, file)); } }); I'm getting strange errors in my application where aribtrary text

I'm using gulp + browserify to build and package my javascript library. Now there is one thing that bothers me: I'm running a simple server with livereload for development via gulp. This works fine, but whenever my javascript contains a syntax error, browserify throws an error causing the server to stop. The browserify code I use (note that I've added an error handler): browserify("./src/main.js") .bundle({standalone: "SomeName", debug: false}).on('error', notify.onError({ message: "Error: <%= error.message %>", title: "Failed running browserify" }) ); Now comes the interesting part: When I

I'm working with Babelify and Browserify . Also, I'm using ES6 style module features by node module system. I would like to put all my own modules into node_modules/libs . For instance: test.js in node_modules/libs export default () => { console.log('Hello'); }; main.js (will be compiled to bundle.js ) import test from 'libs/test'; test(); After that, I have compiled the above codes to bundle.js with this command: browserify -t babelify main.js -o bundle.js But unfortunately, I have got some error: export default () => { ^ ParseError: 'import' and 'export' may appear only with 'sourceType:

I'm still new to ES6 and module loaders and I'm currently looking at combining a browserify setup with ES6. I was wondering if I would still need browserify/requirejs if I'm using ES6 modules. Seems like both allow you to define modules and export them? What is the difference between browserify/requirejs modules and ES6 modules? After playing around for a while I did get a better understanding of things, also thanks to @Andy for the blog by Addy Osmani . There are different module systems : AMD (RequireJS), CommonJS (Node) and the new ES6 module syntax (and the old ES5 Global system of course)
