DocPad: Bundle your scripts with Browserify

The following will bundle your script assets with browserify each time a generation write completes. The bundled file will be located at my-website/out/scripts.js if you are using all the default configuration for your paths.

Installation

1. Install Dependencies

   npm install --save browserify safeps

2. Add the following to your docpad configuration file

   # Write After
   # Used to bundle the editor
   writeAfter: (opts,next) ->
   	# Prepare
   	{rootPath, outPath} = @docpad.getConfig()
   
   	# Bundle the scripts the editor uses together
   	command = """
   		#{rootPath}/node_modules/.bin/browserify
   		#{outPath}/vendor/jquery.js
   		#{outPath}/scripts/script.js
   		-o #{outPath}/scripts.js
   		""".replace(/\n/g,' ')
   
   	# Execute
   	require('safeps').exec(command, {cwd:rootPath, output:true}, next)
   
   	# Chain
   	@

Also need to: balUtil = require "bal-util" at the top

I have created a simple docpad plugin that will do simple browserify rendering as a plugin, all you have to do is add .browserify or .b as an extension.

It's working, but still a work in progress. So far I have mostly used it with https://npmjs.org/package/jquery-browserify

Hmm, it seems that this gist does not work with balUtil 2.3.x, however it does work with balUtil 2.0.x

@digitaldesigndj fixed :)

As someone who had never done much with docpad config before, it wasn't very clear that this should all be a child of events:, you might want to add that.
