### Bundles
The folder `dist` contains bundled versions of vis.js for direct use in the browser. In general, to use vis, load the files `vis.js` and `vis.css`.
vis.js offers various bundled files: default or light version, and minified or non-minified. The source code of vis.js consists of commonjs modules, which makes it possible to create custom bundles using tools like [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/). This can be bundling just one visualization like the Timeline, or bundling vis.js as part of your own browserified web application. Note that hammer.js v1.0.6 or newer is required.
Bundle | Files | Description
------ | ----- | -----------
default | vis.js, vis.css | The default bundle, fully standalone. Code is not minified, use this version for development.
default minified | vis.min.js, vis.min.css | The default bundle, fully standalone. Code is minified, use this version for production.
light | vis-light.js, vis.css | The light bundle. External libraries [moment.js](http://momentjs.com/) and [hammer.js](http://hammerjs.github.io/) are excluded and need to be loaded before loading vis. Code is not minified, use this version for development.

## Custom builds
The folder `dist` contains bundled versions of vis.js for direct use in the browser. These bundles contain the all visualizations and includes external dependencies such as hammer.js and moment.js.
The source code of vis.js consists of commonjs modules, which makes it possible to create custom bundles using tools like [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/). This can be bundling just one visualization like the Timeline, or bundling vis.js as part of your own browserified web application. Note that hammer.js v1.0.6 or newer is required.
#### Example 1: Bundle a single visualization
For example, to create a bundle with just the Timeline and DataSet, create an index file named **custom.js** in the root of the project, containing:
```js
exports.DataSet = require('./lib/DataSet');
exports.Timeline = require('./lib/timeline/Timeline');
```
Install browserify globally via `[sudo] npm install -g browserify`, then create a custom bundle like:
browserify custom.js -o vis-custom.js -s vis
This will generate a custom bundle *vis-custom.js*, which exposes the namespace `vis` containing only `DataSet` and `Timeline`. The generated bundle can be minified with uglifyjs (installed globally with `[sudo] npm install -g uglify-js`):
uglifyjs vis-custom.js -o vis-custom.min.js
The custom bundle can now be loaded like:
```html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script src="vis-custom.min.js"></script>
<link href="dist/vis.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
```
#### Example 2: Exclude external libraries
The default bundle `vis.js` is standalone and includes external dependencies such as hammer.js and moment.js. When these libraries are already loaded by the application, vis.js does not need to include these dependencies itself too. To build a custom bundle of vis.js excluding moment.js and hammer.js, run browserify in the root of the project:
browserify index.js -o vis-custom.js -s vis -x moment -x hammerjs
This will generate a custom bundle *vis-custom.js*, which exposes the namespace `vis`, and has moment and hammerjs excluded. The generated bundle can be minified with uglifyjs:
uglifyjs vis-custom.js -o vis-custom.min.js
The custom bundle can now be loaded as:
```html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<!-- load external dependencies -->
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.7.0/moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/hammer.js/1.1.3/hammer.min.js"></script>
<!-- load vis.js -->
<script src="vis-custom.min.js"></script>
<link href="dist/vis.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
```
#### Example 3: Bundle vis.js as part of your (commonjs) application
When writing a web application with commonjs modules, vis.js can be packaged automatically into the application. Create a file **app.js** containing:
```js
var moment = require('moment');
var DataSet = require('vis/lib/DataSet');
var Timeline = require('vis/lib/timeline/Timeline');
var container = document.getElementById('visualization');
var data = new DataSet([
{id: 1, content: 'item 1', start: moment('2013-04-20')},
{id: 2, content: 'item 2', start: moment('2013-04-14')},
{id: 3, content: 'item 3', start: moment('2013-04-18')},
{id: 4, content: 'item 4', start: moment('2013-04-16'), end: moment('2013-04-19')},
{id: 5, content: 'item 5', start: moment('2013-04-25')},
{id: 6, content: 'item 6', start: moment('2013-04-27')}
]);
var options = {};
var timeline = new Timeline(container, data, options);
```
Install the application dependencies via npm:
npm install vis moment
The application can be bundled and minified:
browserify app.js -o app-bundle.js
uglifyjs app-bundle.js -o app-bundle.min.js
And loaded into a webpage:
```html
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<link href="node_modules/vis/dist/vis.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="visualization"></div>
<script src="app-bundle.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```

<p>
The light bundle of vis.js (<code>vis-light.js</code> or <code>vis-light.min.js</code>) don't have the external dependencies of moment.js and hammer.js bundled. You have to load these yourself before loading vis-light.js. This is useful in the case that your application is using moment.js and/or hammer.js itself too, in order not to load these libraries twice. Note that it is possible too to create your own vis.js bundle: the source code consists of common.js modules which is browserifiable.
