Run uglify-js to minify your file and browserify on your index.js so it can be run in the browser

npm install -g uglify-js browserify
uglifyjs ./index.js -o index.min.js -c -m | browserify -g uglifyify ./index.min.js > bundle.js

Include your bundle.js in your code right before the closing </body> tag so it doesn't need to wait for DOM.ready signal.

<script src="./bundle.js"></script>
