how to browserify the complete bitcoinjs-lib?

Previously I remember the install instructions for browserify contained something like browserify bitcoinjs-lib -s bitcoin > bitcoinjs.js to build a standalone version of bitcoinjs.

Nowadays the instructions contain instructions to create an index.js with a myFunction which does one particular thing (creating a random private key, in this case) and then exports that function.

How do I just export everything, i.e. create the entire bitcoinjs lib that I can include in a .html file just like before?

Perhaps a stupid question, in that case my apologies, but other than bitcoinjs I never used browserify for anything else and I’m not quite sure how this works.

@EvilJordan sure:

1. Make sure nodejs and npm are up to date

2. Create a new dir and from within that dir do npm install bitcoinjs-lib browserify uglify-es

3. Create an index.js file in the same dir with this content:

var bitcoin_js = require('bitcoinjs-lib')
bitcoin_js.bigi = require('bigi')
bitcoin_js.Buffer = require('safe-buffer').Buffer
module.exports = bitcoin_js

1. browserify -r . --standalone bitcoinjs > bitcoinjs.js

2. uglifyjs -c --mangle reserved=['BigInteger','ECPair','Point'] bitcoinjs.js > bitcoinjs.min.js

This creates both the full bitcoinjs.js and minified bitcoinjs.min.js.

Not the most informative, but I completely removed browserify from my system, reinstalled it, and now everything works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for your help, @junderw!
