Brequire, Node Pipe, Enable JavaScript

20 Aug 2010 | By Alex Young | Tags node commonjs browser

Brequire

Brequire makes CommonJS features available to browsers. It uses a compiler to inject the functionality into your scripts. It’s actually a script that you run before loading your code in a browser:

bin/brequire test/src test/lib

Node Yahoo! Pipe

Alex Kessinger sent me a blog post about a Yahoo! Pipe that gets the latest updated packages from the npm registry.

At the moment npm traffic isn’t too insane, so you could follow this to keep abreast of what’s being released. Of course, not everything is released through npm, but it’s getting very popular.

Enable JavaScript

This is a simple idea, but genuinely useful. Enable JavaScript by Toni Podmanick explains how to enable JavaScript in each major browser. It’s the kind of thing that will come in handy when trying to explain such a thing to an awkward client.

Write for Us

Despite popular opinion I don’t spend all day tinkering with JavaScript and writing for DailyJS; I have a day job! I’m looking for writers to help with the site. I’d like people who can write short news posts like this one, and also people who can write awesome tutorials. You’ll get full credits and mad links to your sites and projects.

I haven’t got a formal advertising system for DailyJS yet so the site doesn’t make much revenue, which means I won’t be able to pay you some kind of salary. I could pay you in beer if you live within a train trip of London. Get in touch through the site’s contact form, or join JsChat #dailyjs room.
