Bundle synchronously

I need to call b.bundle() and get the entire output synchronously. How do I do this?

[goto-bus-stop]

with async functions in JS you can do something like:

var promisify = require('util').promisify

async function build () {
  var b = browserify(...)
  var doBundle = promisify(b.bundle.bind(b))
  var buf = await doBundle()
  console.log(buf)
}

if you use some generator promise thing like co you can do the same with generators. note that that still bundles asynchronously, so doing it that way is quite nice!

You should probably change your code to use a callback.

But, if you really really need to it to be synchronous, you can try calling out to the browserify command line program using child_process.execSync in node 0.11. You can use exec-sync if you need to support 0.10 too.
