Getting examples working about browserify HOT 4 CLOSED

More info (or I think I'm outlining a basic howto...)

I figured out that the examples are meant to be integrated directly into whatever node project you've already got. So, instead of trying to access the browserify example via my already running node project, I accessed it directly (via the port number 9393 it spits out when you start it).

I again get the page with the "foo =" that never has anything follow it. What I do get that seems to be new is that (when I view source), I can click on the js src link in Firefox and see the j.s. in /browserify.js?traverse

Yet another follow on... assuming this stuff is working (and that there's just some bug in the 'foo' example), what's the next step?

The README notes that "during bundling the package.json of a module or base directory will be read for its name and main fields, which will be used unless those fields are defined in opts."

That implies I have to create a package.json for my modules. The project's package.json doesn't really seem to be what we're talking about. My guess would be that I'm going to do some juju involving listing paths in my server.js and then relist them on the client side, but I'm not sure. Suggestions?

There are two ways to load packages: npm-style with a package.json and recursive traversal style starting at a base dir and wrapping all the javascript and coffee files in it. The first example in the readme shows the base directory functionality and the second example shows how to wrap a module from npm so you can use it browser-side.

If you want to integrate some existing browser-side javascript files with browserify, you'll need to update them for node-style exports where you assign into the exports object. After that just point the base option to browserify at your client source directory.

Examples work fine, however if someone does not get it working maybe they do the same mistake as I did at first: I opened index file instead of pointing my browser to http://localhost:9393. I hope it helps someone
