[HELP] JS Module is not defined error

Jordan2139 · 2022-03-14T01:04:35.664Z

Hello all!
I am trying to work on a basic script in JavaScript but I have run into a pretty inconvenient error. In my client.js I am trying to require my config (pretty basic JS stuff). But I am met with ReferenceError: require is not defined

My Code:

client.js:

const config = require('./config.js')

fxmanifest.lua:

client_scripts {
    'client/*.js',
    'config.js',
}

I am also getting another error when the script starts, ReferenceError: module is not defined tracing back to my config.js file

Here is the code for that:

module.exports = {
    menu: {
        use_menu: true,
        open_menu_button: 305, 
    },
}

Once again pretty basic stuff. If you know any fix please lmk. I have already seen this topic and its really been no help so far.

Thanks in advance! <3

FiveM (on the client) doesn’t include any browser or Node.js-specific API’s, such as DOM, localStorage, IndexedDB, WebGL, etc.

As said above, the client does not have access to require or import, you’ll need to bundle your code if you want to include libraries. For a config file like this you would be better off using a JSON file and importing it with LoadResourceFile or alternatively using convars.
