# browserify-lite(1)

bundle javascript file

## NAME

browserify-lite - bundle javascript file

## SYNOPSIS

**browserify-lite** *./entry-file.js --outfile bundle.js*

## DESCRIPTION

Browserify-lite is a tool that allows developers to write Node.js-style modules that compile for use in the browser.

This tool is a lite version a browserify:

- •

  No builtin Node.js shims.

- •

  Naive AST tokenization for require instead of true AST parsing. All require statements are found regardless of if they are in an \`if\` statement or a function body that is never called.

- •

  Only supports a single entry file and the  **--outfile**  parameter, nothing else.

- •

  No source maps.

- •

  Minimal dependencies.

## OPTIONS

- **--outfile**

  Write the browserify bundle to this file

- **--standalone** xyz

  Export as window.xyz

- **--help**
