require() not defined in Electron HTML page

I'm currently unable to load Electron modules in Javascript files outside of the main.js file.

I'm trying to use:

const electron = require('electron');

const ipcRenderer = electron.ipcRenderer;

in a file called settings.js.

I have the correct NPM modules installed (eletron-prebuilt).

The settings page is loaded in a webview like so:

<webview id="settings" src="./settings.html"></webview>

and the settings.js included like:

<script type='text/javascript' src='./resources/js/settings.js'></script>

Running out of ideas here, but I wonder if it's some kind of scoping issue?

Many thanks.

You're loading it in a webview, which doesn't support nodeintegration by default.

Add the nodeintegration attribute to your webivew.

<webview id="settings" src="./settings.html" nodeintegration></webview>
