Javascript/Node/Twilio - ReferenceError: require is not defined

I have installed Node from:

Node

and run this in cmd:

npm install twilio

I then tried the example code provided by Twilio:

var accountSid = 'MyAccountSidHere';
var authToken = "MyAccountAuthTokenHere";
var client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);

client.sms.messages.create({
    body: "Jenny please?! I love you <3",
    to: "SomeNumber",
    from: "MyNumber"
}, function(err, message) {
    process.stdout.write(message.sid);
});

Saved this to MyFile.js file and double clicked it.

I get the error message:

ReferenceError: require is not defined

This is my first encounter with JavaScript and I found a lot of similar questions, but have not been able to solve this.

I am to use this with QML, so I want to load it using:

import "MyFile.js" as MyFile

then call the javascript code as a function.

I've read a little into QML and I don't see how you could use a node.js module in QML. QML is used as a language where QT is the JavaScript engine and node.js is a server-side Javascript engine.

The require() function is a core function of node.js which is part of the engine. It's not something language-specific just like the window object in browser-based Javascript is not something in the Javascript language.

As I said in my comment, you should check out what node.js actually is: a server-side JavaScript engine, which executes JavaScript files. It is not a framework which you could load into another engine like QT.

Your code will run if you use it like this from the command-line:

node MyFile.js

I doubt this is helpful for your use-case as a QML import though.
