How can I browserify every .js file in a directory with Gulp?

I'm using Gulp to Browserify a specific file right now (/src/js/main.js) which will create a single bundle, but I want to watch the entire src/js directory and bundle each additional .js file that exists with main.js.

So if I had a directory with like:

main.js, reset_password.js, auth_login.js, it'd browserify each one separately.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var less = require('gulp-less');
var shell = require('gulp-shell');
var source = require('vinyl-source-stream');
var browserify = require('browserify');

gulp.task('js', ['nunjucks'], function () {
  return (
    browserify(['./src/js/*.js'])
      .bundle()
        .on('error', function (err) {
          console.log(err.message);
        })
      .pipe(rename({
          suffix: '.min.js'
        }))
      .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/js'))
  );
});

Will throw an error that says:

Cannot find module '/src/js/**.js'

It will work if I specify each file, but it won't do globbing. Can Browserify even watch an entire directory?

You should call browserify by specifying only one unique file. This is the entry point to all the other files.

browserify(['./src/js/main.js'])

In this file do :

require('./reset_password')

And in reset_password, add something like :

module.exports = function(){.... // all the code is here
