Using node.js libraries on front-end

Question

How can I use the 'request' node.js module on the front-end?

normally I would retrieve it like so:

var request = require('request');

but this is not possible on the front-end since require is not recognized.

What is the best way to solve this?

To use node modules in the browser you can use a library called Browserify . This allows you to work with the common module pattern as well as the you can use this package browser-request to get the features of request module
