Bitcoinjs browser compile creates an empty file

Question

I'm trying build Bitcoinjs for browser testing folloiwng the instructions on the BitcoinJS page (included below).

$ npm install -g bitcoinjs-lib

$ npm -g install bitcoinjs-lib browserify uglify-js
$ browserify -r bitcoinjs-lib -s Bitcoin | uglifyjs > bitcoinjs.min.js

When I run this is does generate a file called bitcoinjs.min.js but it is empty. Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Try the following: Create index.js with the following content in the same folder:

var bitcoin = {
  base58: require('bs58'),
  bitcoin: require('bitcoinjs-lib'),
  ecurve: require('ecurve'),
  BigInteger: require('bigi'),
  Buffer: require('buffer'),
  elliptic: require('elliptic'),
  bs58check: require('bs58check'),
}
module.exports = bitcoin;

Then run:

browserify index.js -s bitcoin | uglifyjs > bitcoinjs.min.js
