About

Browserify lets you require('modules') in the browser by bundling up all of your dependencies.

You can use a node-style require() to organize your browser code and load modules installed by npm. Browserify will recursively analyze all the require() calls in your app in order to build a bundle you can serve up to the browser in a single <script> tag.
