Browserify

Bundler that lets browser code use Node.js-style require() calls to load npm modules into a single script.

Browserify is a bundler that reads the require() calls in a project and combines the modules they load, including npm packages, into one bundle for the browser. It runs from the command line on the developer’s machine, and it is installed with npm. The README describes the build as a recursive walk of the require() graph starting at an entry file, and the project keeps a wiki page that lists the tools built around it.
