showing error: "fs.existsSync" is not a function

[kamleshkhatvani]

Hi,
I am running electron-edge for calling method from C# DLL in nodejs. while including electron-edge i am getting this error : "fs.existsSync" is not a function

declare var require: any
var edge = require('electron-edge');
var newapi= edge.func({
assemblyFile: 'C#.dll',
typeName: 'abc.def',
methodName: 'C#api'
});

i am using ionic and electron.

can you please guide me to solve this error. i am totally new to web-technologies.

Thanks,
Kamlesh Khatvani

i had ran into a similar problem where I was using a <script type="text/javascript" src="index.js"/> tag in my index.html and I needed to use a require tag; <script>require("./index.js")</script>. Without using a require tag, I don't think node modules like fs will resolve. Also, I don't think indirectly using fs in a browser tag will work.
