browserify transform that converts all const assignments to var assignments.

1	npm install varify

So you can get the benefits of immutable variables with help of lint tools while staying compatible with older browsers that have no const.

Given this JavaScript:

const a = 1;

var keep = { const: 1 };
keep.const = 2;

const foo = function () {
  console.log('some const s should be left unchanged');
};

Running browserify with varify transform:

require('browserify')
  .transform(require('varify'))
  .add(__dirname + '/sample.js')
  .bundle()
  .pipe(process.stdout);

Outputs:

var a = 1;

var keep = { const: 1 };
keep.const = 2;

var foo = function () {
  console.log('some const s should be left unchanged');
};

1	browserify -t varify sample.js > bundle.js
