I am learning ReactJS language and now I need to add request library into my project. So I downloaded library from github.com/request/request via npm install command and now I need to import this library into my project.
But when I will use:
import Request from 'request';
or
var request = require('request');
then I am not able to build my application (due some errors). I am not sure, if I can import 3rd party module (or how to call) into ReactJS by this way.
Can you provide me a little help please?
==== error included ====
In my .jsx file I have got:
import React from 'react';
var request = require('request');
import {Table, TableBody, TableFooter, TableHeader, TableHeaderColumn, TableRow, TableRowColumn} from 'material-ui/Table';
import TextField from 'material-ui/TextField';
import RaisedButton from 'material-ui/RaisedButton';
import FloatingActionButton from 'material-ui/FloatingActionButton';
import DialogWindow from '../components/DialogWindow.jsx'
import ContentAdd from 'material-ui/svg-icons/content/add';
import PlayArrow from 'material-ui/svg-icons/av/play-arrow';
import PlaylistAdd from 'material-ui/svg-icons/av/playlist-add';
As you can see, request is imported in 2nd line. When I will try to build my app, I will get this error:

Looks like a known issue with the library. A fix is described at https://github.com/request/request/issues/1529 (adding a node configuration object to your Webpack configuration) to get the library working in the browser.
However, you might want to consider an alternative library such as isomorphic-fetch or axios.
