Browserify Build Doesn't Create numbers Global about numbers.js HOT 7 CLOSED

One potential solution, and one that I think would be preferable to browserify and create a more compact file, would be to write a node.js script that simply does a require and then writes a JSON.stringify() export into an output file preceded by a var numbers =

from numbers.js.

After running a few tests I can see it's not quite so easy, unfortunately. Running JSON.stringify on something that's been required only returns an empty object.

@zikes let's see how other libraries are doing this.

from numbers.js.

The multiplatform libraries I could find used various techniques to read the individual files and combine them as strings. I made a barebones example at https://github.com/Zikes/multiplatform that we could use. Each individual component can still be required in node.js, but the library itself ends up being a single file in public/ that can be included in either node.js or the browser. To build, run node build.js.

Hi,
i ran into this issue while using numbers.js in my sencha touch project...
I exposed the 'require' function from browserify into global scope...then I could use 'require("numbers.js")'...
Not sure is this the correct way...But took me 2 days to get this thing working in my project...:(

@ sjkaliski ...
there might be a bug in simple matrix addition..
var array1 = [0, 1, 2];

the expected arg was = var array1 = [[0], [1], [2]];

@kagarwala That doesn't seem like a bug. I didn't write the code but the matrix object has multiple functions dealing with vectors. My assumption is that instead of writing two functions for matrix and vector addition and subtraction, the author decided to combine functionality.
