The following is a page which demonstrates how to resolve the issue: “Cannot find name ‘require’. Do you need to install type definitions for node?” using Angular.

The type definition for node may not be installed. In the terminal, run the following command from your project directory. This command installs a package that defines require.


npm i --save-dev @types/node


Note: If the package is already installed, go to the next step.

Tell TypeScript to globally include type definitions by updating and adding ‘node‘ to the ‘types‘ field in src/tsconfig.json and src/tsconfig.app.json.

After making the above changes, save, and restart your project / server.
