Running in Browser #80

Closed kel89 closed 5 years ago

Hello,

This is probably a rather basic issue, but I am new to javascript. I am wondering if there is a way to make this library work with javascript running solely in a browser? I am running into issues with the many "require()" statements. I have tried bundling everything into a single file using Browserify, but still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you don't want to use Browserify, Webpack, etc., you can use Unpkg to turn it into a simple script that you can load:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/javascript-lp-solver/src/solver.js"></script>

This will create a global variable solver. You'll be able to call solver.Solve(…) with your model. (I've only tested this with the first example on the readme)

So for what its worth, there's a browser ready version under /prod/solver.js. Its not minified or gziped or anything, but, its out there if you want to host the file yourself.
