Some bundlers (such as Webpack) will process
require
even if it's inside of a conditional branch. Since we only want therequire
to run in Node, we want Webpack to completely ignore it. Usingmodule.require
seems to be the best way to do that.I would really rather just remove the
require
completely, but NodeJS 10 is supported until 2021-04-01, so we can't remove it until then.Fixes #2116
