usage of require within angularjs: any alternative

I am tryinng to use google-libphonenumber which is at the following link in my angularjs 1.5 application.

The usage of this library as mentioned in the link:

// Require `PhoneNumberFormat`.
var PNF = require('google-libphonenumber').PhoneNumberFormat;
 
// Get an instance of `PhoneNumberUtil`.
var phoneUtil = require('google-libphonenumber').PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
 
// Parse number with country code.
var phoneNumber = phoneUtil.parse('202-456-1414', 'US');
 
// Print number in the international format.
console.log(phoneUtil.format(phoneNumber, PNF.INTERNATIONAL));

since require is a server side function that is expected to be used with nodejs, its not working with angularjs.

How can i use this in angularjs controller in order to utilize the functions it provide?

You can actually use require in the browser, you would need to use browserify for example. Another way is to include the file dist/libphonenumber.js with a script tag in your page ans use it this way :

var PNF = libphonenumber.PhoneNumberFormat;
...

No magic, I read the source code and if it detects it is in a browser context, it binds libphonenumber to window.
