browserify exclude cannot find module

Question

I am trying to get a node module to work in the browser, but I don't want browserify to include the require inline as I am loading it separately.

The problem is that even though I'm loading superagent with a <script> tag, browserify throws an exception: Uncaught Error: Cannot find module superagent'

shell

browserify --x superagent source.js -o output.js

jade

script(src='/bower/superagent/superagent.js')
script(src='/js/output.js')

souce.js

var superagent = require('superagent');
module.exports = { }

How can I exclude a require() from the browser without it throwing an exception?

Answer 1

I figured it out...

browserify -i superagent --standalone iceberg source.js > output.js

then in the browser just reference the standalone parameter:

<script>
 iceberg.lettuce.eat();
</script>
