According to the document (https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html), require() function is one of the global objects/functions. But I'm having a hard time finding its source code on Github. Are they written in JS or C++? I was looking for them in https://github.com/nodejs/node project.

The source code can be found at https://github.com/nodejs/node. This assumes that you are a JavaScript developer approaching the project. If you are a C++ programmer, for example, your path will likely be different.
The require() method is used to load and cache JavaScript modules. So, if you want to load a local, relative JavaScript module into a Node. js application, you can simply use the require() method.
js is an open-source, cross-platform, back-end JavaScript runtime environment that runs on a JavaScript Engine (i.e. V8 engine) and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser, which was designed to build scalable network applications.
“Require” is built-in with NodeJS With require , you can include them in your JavaScript files and use their functions and variables. However, if you are using require to get local modules, first you need to export them using module. exports . For example, let's assume that you have a file called blogDetails.
To answer my own question, I think it's defined in loader.js. And you can see it's implemented for all modules.
It seems to be mapped to global.require in node.js
