## Browserify

Browser Request is a [browserify][browserify]-enabled package.
To build Browser Request, run:

First, add `browser-request` to your Node project
npm run build

$ npm install browser-request
a `dist` directory will be created with `request.js` and `request.min.js`.

Next, make a module that uses the package.

```javascript
// example.js - Example front-end (client-side) code using browser-request via browserify
//
var request = require('browser-request')
request('/', function(er, res) {
if(!er)
return console.log('browser-request got your root path:\n' + res.body)

console.log('There was an error, but at least browser-request loaded and ran!')
throw er
})
```

To build this for the browser, run it through browserify.

$ browserify --entry example.js --outfile example-built.js

Deploy `example-built.js` to your web site and use it from your page.

```html
<script src="example-built.js"></script> <!-- Runs the request, outputs the result to the console -->
```
