Hello,

How can I convert my component to node module?

Thank you!

depends, you can just add a package.json but other than pure javascript components they are incompatible

One useful component for this is ForbesLindesay/is-browser .  Then you can do "conditional requires" depending on if you are in browser or node land.

var isBrowser = require('is-browser');

var thing = isBrowser ? require('some-component')  : require('some-equivalent-npm-module')

Usually more complicated than this but if it's pure javascript that's the way I'd do it.

personally unless i can get the same npm module name i just prefer not to publish to npm and then reference it using the github syntax:

"name": "user/name"

that way you don't have to mess with try/catch or is-browser stuff

Yeah that's fine for your own component, but dependencies you're stuck with the npm name... even if you reference them using github syntax.

yeah I found that weird, it's like the name you specify as the key is irrelevant if you use user/repo with npm, pretty weird
