# browser-resolve [](https://travis-ci.org/defunctzombie/node-browser-resolve)
node.js resolve algorithm with [browser field](https://github.com/defunctzombie/package-browser-field-spec) support.
## api
### resolve(id, opts={}, cb)
Resolve a module path and call `cb(err, path [, pkg])`
Options:
* `basedir` - directory to begin resolving from
* `browser` - the 'browser' property to use from package.json (defaults to 'browser')
* `filename` - the calling filename where the `require()` call originated (in the source)
* `modules` - object with module id/name -> path mappings to consult before doing manual resolution (use to provide core modules)
* `packageFilter` - transform the parsed `package.json` contents before looking at the `main` field
* `paths` - `require.paths` array to use if nothing is found on the normal `node_modules` recursive walk
Options supported by [node-resolve](https://github.com/substack/node-resolve#resolveid-opts-cb) can be used.
### resolve.sync(id, opts={})
Same as the async resolve, just uses sync methods.
Options supported by [node-resolve](https://github.com/substack/node-resolve#resolvesyncid-opts) `sync` can be used.
## basic usage
you can resolve files like `require.resolve()`:
``` js
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('../', { filename: __filename }, function(err, path) {
console.log(path);
});
```
```
$ node example/resolve.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/index.js
```
## core modules
By default, core modules (http, dgram, etc) will return their same name as the path. If you want to have specific paths returned, specify a `modules` property in the options object.
``` js
var shims = {
http: '/your/path/to/http.js'
};
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('fs', { modules: shims }, function(err, path) {
console.log(path);
});
```
```
$ node example/builtin.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/builtin/fs.js
```
## browser field
browser-specific versions of modules
``` js
{
"name": "custom",
"version": "0.0.0",
"browser": {
"./main.js": "custom.js"
},
"chromeapp": {
"./main.js": "custom-chromeapp.js"
}
}
```
``` js
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
var parent = { filename: __dirname + '/custom/file.js' /*, browser: 'chromeapp' */ };
resolve('./main.js', parent, function(err, path) {
console.log(path);
});
```
```
$ node example/custom.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/example/custom/custom.js
```
## skip
You can skip over dependencies by setting a
[browser field](https://gist.github.com/defunctzombie/4339901)
value to `false`:
``` json
{
"name": "skip",
"version": "0.0.0",
"browser": {
"tar": false
}
}
```
This is handy if you have code like:
``` js
var tar = require('tar');
exports.add = function (a, b) {
return a + b;
};
exports.parse = function () {
return tar.Parse();
};
```
so that `require('tar')` will just return `{}` in the browser because you don't
intend to support the `.parse()` export in a browser environment.
``` js
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
var parent = { filename: __dirname + '/skip/main.js' };
resolve('tar', parent, function(err, path) {
console.log(path);
});
```
```
$ node example/skip.js
/home/substack/projects/node-browser-resolve/empty.js
```

# upgrade notes
Prior to v1.x this library provided shims for node core modules. These have since been removed. If you want to have alternative core modules provided, use the `modules` option when calling resolve.
This was done to allow package managers to choose which shims they want to use without browser-resolve being the central point of update.
