Is it necessary for you to use require (fs) , you could always use html5 file reader api to read files in javascript.

window.onload = function() {
    var fileInput1 = document.getElementById('fileInput');
    if (fileInput1){
        fileInput1.addEventListener('change', function(e) {
            var file = fileInput1.files[0];
            var textType = /text.*/;

            if (file.type.match(textType)) {
                var reader = new FileReader();
                reader.onload = function(e) {
                    console.log(reader.result);
                  }    
                reader.readAsText(file);                    
            } 
        });
    }
}

you will also have to insert a input file in the html side.
