Uncaught TypeError: r.existsSync is not a function in Angular 6 and Electron desktop application

I am upgrading a desktop application to Angular 6 from Angular 5 and Electron 2 framework but getting this error when I run/build the app: npm start which runs electron ..

Error:

Uncaught TypeError: r.existsSync is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (main.4ff68b38699fd48ecfa7.js:1)

at Array.e [as push] (runtime.a66f828dca56eeb90e02.js:1)
at main.4ff68b38699fd48ecfa7.js:1

I think this is an issue only with Angular 6. I could not understand much from this error stacktrace. The application is working perfectly fine in Angular 5. Any help is much appreciated.

Something must be broken with the packaged bundle. This issue looks very similar.

Could you try to replace require('fs') with window.require('fs') as suggested there.

did you import the module using require.

var r= require('fs');
