    I think somehow you are using require() function in your code ,that's why you are getting some reference error .By default require() is not a valid function in client side JS. you need to extend the JS to have the function require() by looking into require.js .

    I think i am taking this into right direction ,as you only mentioned the error ,full JS code will be more helpful to check this out .

    Thanks

    Thingworx Services are not able to import libraries like in node.js. If you are trying to call a REST or SOAP service, check out the snippets for ContentLoaderFunctions, this will let you do things like GET/POST/PUT requests.
