Js2Py throws 'ReferenceError: require is not defined'

I am using js2py to run Javascript code inside my Python code and it works fine for basic function calls or console outputs.However when I try to use an npm library jsonata inside the Javascript code, it throws an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/souvik/PycharmProjects/ServiceHandler/Testjs.py", line 67, in <module>
    data = js2py.eval_js(data)

    raise MakeError('ReferenceError', '%s is not defined' % prop)
js2py.internals.simplex.JsException: ReferenceError: require is not defined

Here is my code below

Testjs.py

import js2py

data = '''var jsonata = require("jsonata");

var data = {
  example: [
    {value: 4},
    {value: 7},
    {value: 13}
  ]
};
var expression = jsonata("$sum(example.value)");
var result = expression.evaluate(data);
console.log(result)
'''

data = js2py.eval_js(data)
print(data)

Note: I have npm, node.js and jsonata installed

The weird part is if I run just the Javascript code saved to a file in the command line, it works just fine

Testjs2.js

var jsonata = require("jsonata");

var data = {
  example: [
    {value: 4},
    {value: 7},
    {value: 14}
  ]
};
var expression = jsonata("$sum(example.value)");
var result = expression.evaluate(data);
console.log(result) 

In the command line node Testjs2.js --> gives me 25

I investigated for a while and found this in js2py documentation

You can also import a big number of node modules as if they were written in Python! For example, here we import a pure JS library crypto-js:

    >>> CryptoJS = js2py.require('crypto-js')
    >>> data = [{'id': 1}, {'id': 2}]
    >>> JSON = js2py.eval_js('JSON')
    >>> ciphertext = CryptoJS.AES.encrypt(JSON.stringify(data), 'secret key 123')
    >>> bytes  = CryptoJS.AES.decrypt(ciphertext.toString(), 'secret key 123')
    >>> decryptedData = JSON.parse(bytes.toString(CryptoJS.enc.Utf8)).to_list()
    >>> decryptedData
    [{u'id': 1}, {u'id': 2}]

So I even added this line js2py.require('node') to my Testjs.py file but then it started installing some ‘Babel’ related files and then threw the same error.How do I run this piece of Javascript code in my Python file?

@Piotr any work around for this?

inside the translated file, right after it imports js2py you can add from js2py import require then for all the modules you want to import you put <module name> = require('<module name>') then you replace: var.put(u'<variable name>', var.get(u'require')(Js(u'<module name>'))) with: var.put(u'<variable name>', <module name>)
