'Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined (client side js)
Im trying to create a youtube plugin (source code: https://github.com/abhishek-jha-24/EXTENSION) The main javascript code is in content_scripts.js file and from that file i want to access a script1.py file which will give me some data and to access that .py file i've used this tutorial https://medium.com/swlh/run-python-script-from-node-js-and-send-data-to-browser-15677fcf199f
However when i add my extension to chrome it gives me this err:
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
and now i got to know that we cannot use require in client side JavaScript, but without require how would i access the spawn module from NodeJS which is giving me access to my python file.
Solution 1:[1]
use import {spawn} from "child_process"

After looking at your code it seems that you are trying to run that code in a browser. It is not possible because you are trying to access apis specific to nodejs in browser.
