## browserify v2 middleware for express

Code originally from https://github.com/dstrek/node-browserify-express

Basically just brings back the features that were originally in browserify v1

This is how you use it in an Express project.

```javascript
var browserify_express = require('browserify-express');
var bundle = browserify_express({
entry: __dirname + '/app/js/entry.js',
watch: __dirname + '/app/js/',
mount: '/js/myapp.js',
verbose: true,
minify: true,
bundle_opts: { debug: true } // enable inline sourcemap on js files
write_file: __dirname + '/public/js/myapp.js',
ignore: ['optional.js'] // optional array of files to ignore
});

app.use(bundle);
```

In this example:

* watch for changes to files in the directory defined in `watch`, this can also just watch a single file.
* make the bundle accessible at '/js/myapp.js'
* minify the bundle using uglify-js2
* print messages to the console to show re-bundling and times
* pass opts.debug to browserify.bundle
* pass recursive:false to node-watch (see all options for [node-watch](https://npmjs.org/package/node-watch))
* write the file to disk at the specified path

### using coffee-script

This is supported by default however all your require()'s must include the .coffee extensions, it will not pick it up by default.

e.g. require('../views/pop.coffee')
