Example

We could, for example, extract all style tags and collect the contents into an external css file allowing css to be defined directly in javascript.

var fs = require("fs");
var browserify = require("browserify");
browserify("./script.js")
  .plugin("collectify", {
    file: "./public/styles.css",
    regex: /<style>([\s\S]+?)<\/style>/g,
    capture: 1
  })
  .bundle()
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream("./public/bundle.js"));
