browser-resolve

node.js resolve algorithm with browser field support.

api

resolve(id, opts={}, cb)

Resolve a module path and call cb(err, path [, pkg])

Options:

• basedir - directory to begin resolving from
• browser - the 'browser' property to use from package.json (defaults to 'browser')
• filename - the calling filename where the require() call originated (in the source)
• modules - object with module id/name -> path mappings to consult before doing manual resolution (use to provide core modules)
• packageFilter - transform the parsed package.json contents before looking at the main field
• paths - require.paths array to use if nothing is found on the normal node_modules recursive walk

Options supported by node-resolve can be used.

resolve.sync(id, opts={})

Same as the async resolve, just uses sync methods.

Options supported by node-resolve sync can be used.

basic usage

you can resolve files like require.resolve():

var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('../', { filename: __filename }, function(err, path) {
    console.log(path);
});

$ node example/resolve.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/index.js

core modules

By default, core modules (http, dgram, etc) will return their same name as the path. If you want to have specific paths returned, specify a modules property in the options object.

var shims = {
    http: '/your/path/to/http.js'
};

var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('fs', { modules: shims }, function(err, path) {
    console.log(path);
});

$ node example/builtin.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/builtin/fs.js

browser field

browser-specific versions of modules

{
  "name": "custom",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "browser": {
    "./main.js": "custom.js"
  },
  "chromeapp": {
    "./main.js": "custom-chromeapp.js"
  }
}

var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
var parent = { filename: __dirname + '/custom/file.js' /*, browser: 'chromeapp' */ };
resolve('./main.js', parent, function(err, path) {
    console.log(path);
});

$ node example/custom.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/example/custom/custom.js

skip

You can skip over dependencies by setting a browser field value to false:

{
  "name": "skip",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "browser": {
    "tar": false
  }
}

This is handy if you have code like:

var tar = require('tar');

exports.add = function (a, b) {
    return a + b;
};

exports.parse = function () {
    return tar.Parse();
};

so that require('tar') will just return {} in the browser because you don't intend to support the .parse() export in a browser environment.

var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
var parent = { filename: __dirname + '/skip/main.js' };
resolve('tar', parent, function(err, path) {
    console.log(path);
});

upgrade notes

Prior to v1.x this library provided shims for node core modules. These have since been removed. If you want to have alternative core modules provided, use the modules option when calling resolve.

This was done to allow package managers to choose which shims they want to use without browser-resolve being the central point of update.
