Standalone applicable?

[Florian Krönert]

Hello everyone,

I'm using browserify for bundling my HttpClient with Bluebird for promises, since it has to be cross-browser compatible and IE does not support promises natively.
Now I'm having the issue, that I get the promises returned alright in IE, but since bluebird is only available in my IIFE, I can't use things like Promise.all without having to include bluebird on the page also.
I thought of using standalone for making bluebird available in outer scope. Did I understand correctly, that this is its purpose?
I changed my npm build script to
browserify src/js/WebApiClient.js --standalone XrmWebApiClient > Publish/WebApiClient.js
for making the standalone bundle, however I don't really get the purpose of the XrmWebApiClient object. What is its purpose?

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,
Florian
