browser-run2

The easiest way of running code in a browser environment.

Same as juliangruber/browser-run, but uses benderjs/browser-launcher2 instead of substack/browser-launcher, due to substack/browser-launcher/issues/34.

Installation

$ npm install browser-run2    # for library 
$ npm install -g browser-run2 # for cli 

Usage

$ echo "console.log('Hey there from ' + document.location)" | browser-run
Hey there from http://localhost:53227/

Or use browser-run programmatically:

var run = require('browser-run2');
 
var browser = run();
browser.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.write('console.log(document.location)');
browser.end();

Example with browserify

$ browserify main.js | browser-run

or

var browserify = require('browserify');
var browser = require('browser-run2');
 
browserify('main.js').bundle().pipe(browser()).pipe(process.stdout);

CLI

$ browser-run --help
Run JavaScript in a browser.
