Browserify |
a tool making possible to use the `require` function from Node.js within the browser |
Browserify is a tool that allows you to use the require Node.js function while working for the browser by bundling up all the required dependencies.
The idea behind Browserify is to make it possible to use existing libraries from npm even when writing code for the client side. To allow this, it goes through the code, request the required dependencies, then create a single file containing everything: both the dependencies and the code using them.
