Does the embark framework use browserify for package management? How do I add a package (say buffer) to the project?

I used npm i --save-dev buffer and can see the dependency added to package.json and the node_modules folder but cannot var Buffer = require("Buffer") it. The var Buffer = require('buffer/').Buffer suggested by the docs doesn't work either.

The error in the javascript console in the browser is Error: Cannot find module 'Buffer' and Error: Cannot find module 'buffer/' respectively.

  • Not really an Ethereum question. You need to translate the code for the browser. Try browserify. – dbryson Mar 29 '16 at 11:06
  • The question is regarding adding the package to a specific Ethereum framework, namely Embark. – samurai jack Mar 29 '16 at 11:07

This is really a general node.js question, not isolated to Embark.

After you've written your code using node.js modules, you must translate it for browser use via Browserify.

  • Embark has browserify built-in. That means that I don't have to browserify the code as it is part of the workflow. Furthermore "embark build" (a complete rebuild) does not help. – samurai jack Mar 29 '16 at 12:04
