Typescript : require statement not part of an import statement

Question

Typescript version 2.2.2

I wrote this require in my UserRoutzr.ts

const users =  require(path.join(process.cwd() + \"/data\"));
         


        

Answer 1

Needed to use provide plugin, yet neither require nor dynamic imports worked for me, this construct helped though:

module.exports = {
  // ..
  chainWebpack: (config) => {
    config.plugin('provide').use(require('webpack').ProvidePlugin, [
      // ..
    ])
  },
