Why do i get this node.js build error?

Question

I'm trying to build my project using browserify, (the local binary from node_modules/.bin/ )

this is the complete command

./node_modules/.bin/browserify . | uglifyjs -cm >js/bundle.min.js

my directory is /var/www/react-shopping

I do not understand this error, Error: Cannot find module '/var/www/react-shopping'

Answer 1

try this:

browserify index.js | uglifyjs -cm > js/bundle.min.js

where index.js is the entry point of your application.

browserify should be installed with:

npm install --save-dev browserify

and uglifyjs with:

npm install --save-dev uglifyify
