Create an index.html and call your scripts in it, and then output in an element on the page.

I don't have time to show you the code for this, but all you need to do is import the scripts and the tests via <script> tags and then create an element <div id="mocha"> that you will use as the container for your test output!

EDIT: Here is some code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Mocha Tests</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/mocha/mocha.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="mocha"></div>
    <script src="node_modules/mocha/mocha.js"></script>
    <script src="node_modules/chai/chai.js"></script>
    <script>mocha.setup('bdd')</script>

    <!-- load code you want to test here -->

    <!-- load your test files here -->

    <script>
      mocha.run();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
