Not working with Browserify?

[jonscottclark]

Hi @Diokuz,

I was trying to use baron in my Browserify project and I'm getting this error: $(...).baron() is not a function

I see that you've exported the baron function so it appears you've given some thought to exporting baron to a CommonJS environment.

I think the problem is that the $ variable is set here: https://github.com/Diokuz/baron/blob/master/baron.js#L5, and it's assumed that jQuery will be in the window object, or in the case of a node environment it would be root. But the copy of jQuery that I'm using is bundled in the same browserify project. In the past I have made plugins work by using a universal module definition wrapper: https://github.com/umdjs/umd/blob/master/templates/jqueryPlugin.js, which passes $ to your plugin as a required copy of jQuery.

The architecture of this plugin is rather large and the few fixes I tried to implement didn't work, so I'm just submitting the issue to see if you have any insights.

Interesting. Will do.

Awesome! If you publish your changes to a different branch I can help you test.

As far as I know, all you'll need to do is replace line 30 (https://github.com/umdjs/umd/blob/master/templates/jqueryPlugin.js#L30) with the plugin code.

But you won't need to use scopedWindow because the wrapper will handle the scope of of the $ variable (whether it's on the window object or part of the CommonJS environment) And, bonus! AMD support. lol

Fixed in baron@3.0.0

Working without jQuery now
