How to use with require in admin.js

[Yehonatan Albert]

Hi
I building plugin, I don't know how to add the require.main.require('./src/user') to admin.js (ACP settings)

const User = require.main.require('./src/user');

define('admin/plugins/quickstart', ['settings', 'autocomplete'], function (settings, autocomplete) {
	var ACP = {};

	ACP.init = function () {
		autocomplete.user($('#username'), (ev, ui) => {
			console.log(ui.item.user.uid)
		})
		settings.load('quickstart', $('.quickstart-settings'));
		$('#save').on('click', saveSettings);
	};

	function saveSettings() {
		settings.save('quickstart', $('.quickstart-settings'), function () {
			app.alert({
				type: 'success',
				alert_id: 'quickstart-saved',
				title: 'Settings Saved',
				message: 'Please reload your NodeBB to apply these settings',
				clickfn: function () {
					socket.emit('admin.reload');
				},
			});
		});
	}

	return ACP;
});

there is error in first line
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'require') at admin.js:1

How to do it?
Thanks!

@yehonatan-albert You are not able to require server-side libraries from the client-side. You will need to make an API call from the client-side to do what you need to do.
