Preventing StackTrace is not defined on browser when using Browserify

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to use this lib with Browserify + ES6 syntax.

import { StackdriverErrorReporter } from 'stackdriver-errors-js'

But, when I try to test it with some error I receive this:

Uncaught ReferenceError: StackTrace is not defined at StackdriverErrorReporter.report

Error line

Everything works fine when I use self-hosted CDN.

After adding stacktrace-js as an dependency to package.json and adding the following line to my entrypoint it worked for me:

window.StackTrace = require('stacktrace-js');

Hmm. I got it. You’re right!

But installing the module with npm will cause this error on any app, since that node_modules normally isn’t present on Client Apps when it is deployed to production.

Normallly packages installed by npm are used with AMD, CommonJS, etc. (using ES6 or no)

So the solution is provide the JS module architecture, as mentioned in #2

I guess I can do it in my free time.
