Question

Basically  I am using javascript to scrape data from Google Play store using   1-Request  2-Cheerios  3-QueryString  I used Google Market API from Github which uses require as following   var request     require  request    var cheerio     require  cheerio    var qs        require  querystring      But I am getting the following   ReferenceError  require is not defined      So  I don t have require in javascript which is either new for me or this is something out of the ordinary

require is part of the Asynchronous Module Definition  AMD  API    A browser implementation can be found via require js and native support can be found in node js   The documentation for the library you are using should tell you what you need to use it  I suspect that it is intended to run under Node js and not in browsers

For me the issue was I did not have my webpack build mode set to production for the package I was referencing in  Explicitly setting it to     build    webpack --mode production  fixed the issue

By default require   is not a valid function in client side javascript  I recommend you look into require js as this does extend the client side to provide you with that function

User · Answer

Yes  require is a Node JS function and doesn t work in client side scripting without certain requirements  If you re getting this error while writing electronJS code  try the following   In your BrowserWindow declaration  add the following webPreferences field  i e  instead of plain mainWindow   new BrowserWindow    write  mainWindow   new BrowserWindow           webPreferences                nodeIntegration  true
