How to use any require module within a CEP extension's iframe (will update templates soon):

First, we need to change the CEP version to 8.0 in two places in manifest.xml:

• From 7.0 to 8.0 in Line #2:

  <!-- Inside <ExtensionManifest> -->
  Version="8.0"

• From 7.0 to 8.0 in Line #16:

  <!-- Inside <RequiredRuntime> -->
  Version="8.0"

Place the additional parameter enable-nodejs inside the iframe of ./public/index-dev.html at Line #10

  <iframe
    enable-nodejs
    src="http://localhost:8080"
    style="border: 0; width: 100vw; height: 100vh;"
  ></iframe>

Whenever require() is needed, we need to provide backdoors for both context:

// Before using require in any file, we need to define it like so:
const require = require || cep_node.require;

// Now this works for either context
const fs = require('fs')
