Uncaught TypeError: URL is not a constructor using WHATWG URL object support for electron

Question

I am trying to read a file using WHATWG URL object support here

and I am getting this error: Uncaught TypeError: URL is not a constructor

here is my code:

Answer 1

Node v10.0.0 and newer (currently Node v14.x)

URL Class

v10.0.0 | The class is now available on the global object.

As mentioned here: Node.js Documentation - Class: URL

So this should work without require('url'):

const myUrl = new URL('http://example.com');
