Way to enforce the standalone package name

[thom4parisot]

If a module is named like peaks.js, where the . has a decorative value and not a namespace value, /standalone/peaks.js is equivalent to the --standalone peaks.js browserify command.

The issue is the exported module is exported as window.peaks.js, js becoming a property of the namespace peaks.

It does not seem to be doable in substack/node-browserify#818: what could be a proper way to define the standalone module name for browserify-cdn?

I would definitely map /standalone/peaks.js as --standalone peaks, to match the library examples and so on.

Thanks for your insights :-)

Probably I would just s/./_/ or similar, and then document it.

The same for modules with a - in the name. f.e. 1-liners would become window.1-liners but this breaks before it even builds. see https://wzrd.in/standalone/[email protected] or https://wzrd.in/standalone/2dgeometry@latest (a module starting with a number is also not valid.)

I think the best solution would be to add a possibility for defining the standalone-variable f.e. https://wzrd.in/standalone/oneLiners/1-liners@latest
