Client on node: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

Question

So, I am writing an application with the node/express + jade combo.

I have client.js, which is loaded on the client. In that file I have code that calls

Answer 1

In my case I used another solution.

As project doesn't require CommonJs and it must have ES3 compatibility (modules not supported) all you need is just remove all export and import statements from your code, because your tsconfig doesn't contain

"module": "commonjs"

But use import and export statements in your referenced files

import { Utils } from "./utils"
export interface Actions {}

Final generated code will always have(at least for typescript 3.0) such lines

"use strict";
exports.__esModule = true;
var utils_1 = require("./utils");
....
utils_1.Utils.doSomething();
