browserify with firebase+express (Error: Cannot find module 'request')

[Raghav Chandra]

Hey,

I am using browserify with express/nodejs to share a module with the browser itself. For those familiar, all my main.js file has is:

var Firebase = require('firebase');

running browserify main.js gives:

Error: Cannot find module 'request'

I am pretty new to browserify/express, so I could be doing something silly. Am I missing an import somewhere?

Thanks,

Raghav

You can't do that.  You should be using the script-include version of firebase when loading firebase into browsers.

was just using that as an example.

I tried and poked around, and got it working now.

thanks.

I'm getting the same error.  How did you get it working?

Thanks

Hey everybody,

We just pushed version 1.0.21 of the Firebase npm module which now includes support for browserify. You should be able to just do npm install firebase (make sure you get version 1.0.21 or later) and then require("firebase") and browserify will work. No hacks required!
