Anyone know how to compile for use in the browser?

I don’t know if some modules in batteries require some special treatment.
In general, with dune it is enough to specify it in the dune file: JavaScript compilation — dune documentation

Then you can load the js script from the html. For example, the javascript in this page is obtained with this dune file
