Hello World: Browserify

Uses the browserify JavaScript bundler and applies the babelify "transform", which runs the babel transpiler on the source code, transpiling JSX and ES6 to ES5 JavaScript.

Commands:

• yarn or npm install installs the dependencies.
• npm start is the development target. This builds and serves the app using budo, which hot reloads when you save changes to the source code.
• npm run build is the build target. It builds a single dist-bundle.js JavaScript file containing the transpiled version of your code plus code from all dependent modules.

Remarks:

• The generated dist-bundle.js can be loaded into a browser using an HTML script element.
• You can open the generated dist-bundle.js in a text editor and inspect what code has been included.
• In a real application you would likely want to add things like unit tests, a minification step etc to the production build step etc. These steps have been omitted here in order to keep the example as simple as possible.
