I was analyzing javascript codes in a chrome extension and noticed this in it.
require("name of required class/file/module") //Not sure whether it is class,file,module
May be its because I'm newbie to programming or something,but I cant find the 'require' keyword in javascript reference or documentation.There is 'import' statement for importing modules. I googled for require for javascript but all I can find is the 'require' for node.js, the server side scripting using javascript. I am talking about chrome extension/client side script.Does anyone have any idea about this ?

1) require() 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.
require() is used to consume modules. It allows you to include modules in your app. You can add built-in core Node. js modules, community-based modules (node_modules), and local modules too.
“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.
require method is part of the commonjs file and module loader.
You can check more details in their Sample page.

You may be looking for requirejs.
RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.
