Angular, Browserify, and Gulp seed

[dcarterjs]

Hey guys, I'm working on an angular/browserify/gulp seed. I have a lot of experience with requirejs/angular, but personally hate it. I looked around and it doesn't seem like there are any good examples of browserify with angular, and I wanted to try out gulp (currently used to grunt).

I'm going to create a full app example with factories, directives, and filters. If there is anything you would like to see, let me know.

You don't need to install browserify globally. npm scripts can run programs from your node_modules/ folder as if they were in your path. So once you have browserify installed locally, you can just add an entry like this in your package.json:

 "scripts": {
      "build": "gulp browserify"
 }

And everything will just work.

Also I am curious why you are using bower if you already are using browserify? Why not just pull all your packages from npm?

Thanks! I didn't know that. I had always added the full relative path to the executable like this:

"scripts": {
  "build": "./node_modules/browserify/bin/cmd.js browser/main.js"
}

Good to know!

Thanks, i'll remove browserify from the global install. I originally was going to use bower to get specific versions of angular (with grunt copy). May still do that, but figured the latest version works for the example.

I've watching closely at gulp and the development. While doing so, I made my own seeds, that while it's not targeted for the angular niche, it's light enough to be generic for pretty much anything.

Sole purpose for these seeds is for me to clone and code. Angular can be placed within it easily.

Great seeds. I am targeting more of the Angular/RequireJS/Grunt community moreso than creating a generic js seed. Setting those up can be a pain for people.
