bde

Browserify Development Environment.

If you are developing on your local machine using browserify, then bde is your friend (though you should also definitely check out budo).

Running

In a directory that you are building a browserify module in, simply run bde. This will start bde on port 8080 and watch for any files ending in bundle.js.

If you want to start it on a particular port, then specify the port as the first command-line argument (e.g. bde 8090) or using the -p flag (e.g. bde -p 8090).

If you would like to watch for a different suffix, use the -s flag (e.g. bde -s foo.js).

Conventions

bde will serve pretty much any file, courtesy of ecstatic. When particular files are requested, however, they will be routed through browserify:

• *-bundle.js (look for the filename prefixed by -bundle.js and run through browserify)

Using HTTPS

If you wish to run a bde server using HTTPS then you simply need to push relevant server.crt, server.key and server.ca (if required) files into the working directory from which you start your application. If detected bde will start the server on using HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Using Browserify Transform

The best way to configure custom browserify behaviour is to use the browserify package.json configuration options. Previous versions of bde tried to use overcomplicated logic to identify transforms that were available, until I accidentally worked out it wasn't required 😄
