Add browserify support.

[feross]

The following code fails using the npm package with Browserify:

var benchmark = require('benchmark')
var suite = benchmark.Suite()

With the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: benchmark.Suite is not a constructor

You can quickly see it happening if you use RequireBin and paste the above code.

Hi @feross!

I believe that means lodash isn't being loaded properly.

[feross]

@jdalton This was a fresh npm install, and I can confirm that lodash is in the node_modules folder.

Ah ok. Let me know if https://github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js/commit/7de5705328ec29afa14e8813498e9c6c2a97c0f4 or https://github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js/commit/c588a6bc349986cfb758486c0b04e8ee256a5ebb helps.

[feross]

Yep, works better.

Getting errors on this line

(program):1 Uncaught ReferenceError: Benchmark is not defined

But it doesn't seem to be preventing things from working. It's just spewing in the console at the moment.

I'll keep digging.

Using Webpack + Babel for my client-side. This thread was helpful and this is what I ended up with that works for me:

// package.json
  "dependencies": {
    "benchmark": "^2.1.3",
    "lodash": "^4.17.4",
  }

// webpack.config.js
  ...
  module: {
    noParse: [
      /benchmark/,
    ]
  },
  ...

import _ from 'lodash';
import process from 'process';

const benchmark = require('benchmark');
const Benchmark = benchmark.runInContext({ _, process });
window.Benchmark = Benchmark;

Seems like the noParse was important.

Thanks @julianvmodesto !

Result from piping browserify output to chrome headless.

This issue is caused by the assumption that there will be a script tag in the page (in some cases this is not true)... https://github.com/bestiejs/benchmark.js/blob/c588a6bc349986cfb758486c0b04e8ee256a5ebb/benchmark.js#L663
