Exclude files from browserify bundle via config

Question

I'm using Browserify as part of a gulp task. The bundle builds, but it pulls in angular because it is being required in some files. I was hoping I could tell browserify that Angular is an external resource. So I attempted

var b = browserify ({
external: ['angular', 'jquery', 'etc'],
...
});

Unfortunately, Browserify still pulls in angular and other into the bundle. How would one resolve this?

I think the option you are searching for is exclude

var b = browserify ({
    exclude: ['angular', 'jquery', 'etc'],
    ...
});
