Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined in Electron

Question

I am trying and failing to connect to a MySQL database in Electron. When I run the program with npm start, I get this error in the console:

I was told to make changes to my code and I made them but nothing. I downloaded that module called bundlee but it didn't work either and I don't know if I used it correctly.

Does this answer your question? [Electron require() is not defined](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44391448/electron-require-is-not-defined) — Mayank Vadiya, Mar 05 '20 at 07:47

It is likely that nodeIntegration is set to false (which is the default) in your BrowserWindow webPreferences.

Try setting up your browser window with something like this:

win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600, 
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true
    } 
})
