Fix for odd browserify behaviour #44

Closed adamscybot closed 10 years ago

adamscybot commented 10 years ago

Browserify is currently not compatible with backbone-epoxy as it appears it does not support resolving require(package) calls where package is a variable containing a string versus an actual string. E.g.

var underscore = "underscore";
var _ = require(underscore)

Does not work. However:

var _ = require("underscore")

works as expected. In the former example, browserify complains it cannot find the package. I believe browserify must be doing some strange parsing of the JS files in order to acertain where require() calls are so it can compile a single file.

The very simple solution is to just use strings (most if not all libraries I've seen do this).

Weird. Thanks... that streamlining using variables was overly engineered anyway!
