Pre-compiled browser client

[RangerMauve]

Hey, it'd be nice if there was a pre-compiled browserify bundle on a CDN or something of the sort for easy integration with projects.

[RangerMauve]

Actually, it looks like there isn't even a browser.js to put through browserify...

[mcollina]

Have a look at this package.json. The whole thing is built to be able to run in the browser first.

[RangerMauve]

Err, does that mean that I need to compile the package itself and not browser.js? I haven't used browserify before and I think the readme might be a little out of date. When I tried to build index.js, it was giving me errors when I was trying to make a connection. Running browserify . -s mows > mows.js isn't working either. The error I'm getting is:

parser.header = function(buf, packet) {
  var zero = buf.readUInt8(0);
                        ^ Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

The code I'm using after adding the script to my page is:

var socket = mows.createClient("ws://localhost:80?clientId=someid");
socket.on("connect", function () {
    console.log("Connected mqtt");
})

Would you like to send a PR to add that? Have a look at how Mosca builds it: https://github.com/mcollina/mosca/blob/master/package.json#L17.

[mcollina]

What version of browserify are you running? It needs one of the latests, as there the buffer additions.

[mcollina]

This should be working: http://test.mosca.io/mqtt.js

I'm using Browserify v4.2.0

[mcollina]

This was built for browserify 3, so it might need some updates/fix

[RangerMauve]

I'll try installing Browserify 3 and see if that helps in the meantime.

[RangerMauve]

Browserify 3.46.1 is working properly.

[mcollina]

I updated MQTT.js to be able to work with Browserify 4.2, see https://github.com/adamvr/MQTT.js/commit/cde47a7f4b44b3af2c4a31b18d3b9fc0e2f385d9.

Reinstalling mows and trying the steps again seems to be having the same issue as before. npm ls says that I have mows 0.0.6 and it's got mqtt 0.3.10

[mcollina]

I've just released MQTT.js v0.3.11.

[RangerMauve]

Just tested it and it works perfectly, though the issue is really about pre-compiling the bundle, I think that just being able to compile it should be easy enough.
