Electron.js Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

I am trying to make a new Electron desktop app. by the way, when I insert electron module, I get this error. If you are familiar with electron, can you help me to resolve this error?

I already tried to fix it. include require.js. but not working yet.

<script>
    const electron = require('electron'); // I get error at this line.
    const {ipcRenderer} = electron;

    const form = document.querySelector('form');
    form.addEventListener('submit', submitForm);

    function submitForm(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
</script>

If you are using Electron 5.0, then nodeIntegration is false by default in BrowserWindows so you need to specify it explicitly when you create your window:

mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  webPreferences: {
    nodeIntegration: true
  }
})

You need to install electron 

npm install electron --save-dev

--save-dev because electron is an development dependency.
