Have a pure browser version of seek-bzip

[mossroy]

This is not an issue, but only a wish.

I would really like to use seek-bzip in my web application. I currently use antimatter15's bzip2.js : it works pretty well, but I think seek-bzip might improve the performance of my webapp. Because seek-bzip would allow me to decompress only what's necessary (by passing the expectedSize parameter)
(see kiwix/kiwix-js#4 )

I tried by myself to remove the node.js dependencies but did not manage to do it.

Would there be an easy way to use seek-bzip in a browser instead of a node.js environment?

Have you tried browserify?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried to browserify seek-bzip.
It gave me this : http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3669387

But I did not manage to make it work.
First, I'm currently using requirejs in my application, and I think it might introduce conflicts with the "require" function. In any case, I did not manage to load seek-bzip as a requirejs module
Never mind, I tried to use it directly in a simple HTML page (without any requirejs environment), but did not manage to.
In fact, I don't find the way to access Bunzip class after importing the javascript.

In the examples from http://browserify.org or https://github.com/substack/node-browserify, they execute code directly from inside the node.js modules. What I would need is to access this code from other javascript files, in order to call Bunzip.decode(something)
