RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.

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

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

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
