Not getting how to have api functioning with 'require'

I know this is an ignorance of mine and not an issue with the code. Firstly, I’d like to thank the author of this repository.

Could you explain how do I get this api functioning on my application? I know it all starts with:

var googleTrends = require('google-trends-api') But that’s exactly where I am failing to succeed at using the plugin. 😦 Now I know it’s dumb, lol but please have mercy on me.

I’ve downloaded requirejs from http://requirejs.org/ and included it on my page. But when I manage to require the plugin, it doesn’t recognize “module.exports” or the “_dirname” variable. I don’t quite understand this require Javascript solution.

Thanks

You might be able to get this working with something like browserify which allows you to require, and then compiles for web. However some of the modules used (‘require-promise’) may not work, and potentially would need to be switched out for an XHR library.

@romulo-rocha I’ll have to rewrite some things to add support for directly using the library in the browser (assuming there are no CORS issues). For now, if you have a node back-end you should be able to require the library in there. I’ll keep this issue open until that is complete.
