Requires Babelify with Browserify #9

Closed danhere closed 7 years ago

danhere commented 7 years ago

Installed OpenShare with npm and added var OpenShare = require('openshare'); to my script.

Upon compilation, it throws an error that it requires babelify but that isn't installed as a dependency. Is Babelify required to use OpenShare?

Howdy @danhere 👋 Our goal since (1.0.0) was that those who weren't using babelify could still use openshare by doing require('openshare/dist/openshare'). We should probably make this more clear in the readme.

There is an example of using babelify with browserify in our package.json. We use the npm scripts highlighted there for testing.

However, as mentioned in #3 and #8 we're looking for better ways to publish this module so that babelify isn't really required. If you're running into issues with npm installs you can use this CDN: <script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/OpenShare/openshare/master/dist/openshare.js'></script>

If you're not using the CDN and the recent ES2015ify'd version of openshare isn't building due to it's ES2015yness, you can install the pre-ES2015 version by doing npm i openshare@1.4.4 -S or npm i github://OpenShare/openshare#23ee2b80e4af31076e5ff526e51b1d7f5ee503f3 -S
