[](https://github.com/substack/browserify) transform which can
shorten require paths with defined aliases.
Install with [npm(1)](http://npmjs.org):
$ npm install shortify
Call shortify with your alias hash and pass it to the `transform` method of
your browserify instance.
```
var shortify = require('shortify');
var builder = browserify({ entries: ['app.js'] });
var transform = shortify({ foo: '../../foo' });
builder.transform(transform).bundle().pipe(yourwritestream);
```
Then require your modules will be rewritten from:
```
var bar = require('foo/bar');
var baz = require('foo/../baz');
```
to:
```
var bar = require('../../foo/bar');
var baz = require('../../foo/../baz');
// your module.exports source code
```
You can do the same with `import` in ES6:
```
import bar from "foo/bar";
import baz from "foo/../baz";
// compiles to:
import bar from "../../foo/bar";
import baz from "../../foo/../baz";
```
Main motivation behind this is that you can keep the > 80 character per
line limit when requiring templates, configuration, ... files shared
between your server and client environment.
Run `npm test` to build the file and and run the Mocha tests defined in
`opt/test/index.js`.
