How to require with custom targets? (Aliases? Remappings?)

[yang]

With the browserify CLI tool you can specify e.g. browserify -r fs:browserify-fs, but attempting require: ['fs:browserify-fs'] for grunt-browserify fails. I also tried various other combinations involving alias: ['fs:browserify-fs'] and require: ['fs','browserify-fs'], to no avail. Any hints? Thanks!

You're right, it fails with the current version of grunt-browserify. I almost resolved the issue in my PR #215 but your comment confirmed another issue in browserify, not grunt-browserify.

I did a little test with the same command as yours, and with the latest version of browserify, the alias is not created. I filled a bug in the main repo (see browserify/browserify#850)

This should be resolved once we upgrade to a newer version of browserify when the bug is fixed in the main repo.

@tleunen Thanks for running this down! I appreciate the help.

alias should work with both files and module names. Check out the updated basic example.
