Why I can't use npm packages in meteor project?

I need to add a npm package in my meteor project (for example 'moment' package). First I typed this command : meteor npm install --save moment . The package.json dependencies updated (moment package added), also in node_modules. I want to use this package, so I add this line in the client side:

const moment = require('moment');

I get this message in my browser console Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier in this line !!

Did I miss something ?

You can only use npm packages in meteor 1.3+. For any previous versions, you will need a wrapper package or you can use meteorhacks:npm.

You need to do meteor npm install meteor-node-stubs --save for this to work. See Using NPM Packages in the guide.
