In NodeJS, require() is a built-in function to include external modules that exist in separate files. require() statement basically reads a JavaScript file, executes it, and then proceeds to return the export object.
At server side need to render JavaScript code for that you have to install a mock browser package. build your project again with npm run build:ssr and serve with npm run serve:ssr. Hope your all the windows is not define error have been solved now.
The basic functionality of require is that it reads a JavaScript file, executes the file, and then proceeds to return the exports object.
So I am completely new to node but I figured out how to install node_modules. What I am trying to figure out is how to properly include 'Angular' into my code.
So from a new express 4 spin up I did:
npm install --save angular
Then I went into routes/index.js and added the require('angular'):
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
require('angular');
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});
module.exports = router;
But when I do node start I get an error that says:
ReferenceError: window is not defined

What is the proper way to include angular?
