Note that if you’re _not_ using webpack, you’ll need to use relative paths. The `require` function _does not do node-style resolution_ or lookup.

As such:

- `require("module.js")` _will_ fail because it’s not relative. Using `require("./module.js")` will work, assuming it’s in the same directory.
- If you’ve got `node_modules/commonLib.js`, you’ll need to use `require("./node_modules/commonLib.js")` (assuming `main.js` is i

Be sure to also use `module.exports = {/*...*/}` when doing this (ES6-style exports are _not_ supported using this mechanism.)

If you want to use ES6 modules or have node-style resolution, a bundler is a requirement.
