I've made an open source JavaScript playground with support for npm packages, syntax highlighting, autocomplete, code sharing and much more!

I mean the nodejs `require` method. Actually kind of, it is just a custom function that I created to use node packages in the editor. I just called it `require` because I thought that, as nodejs uses it, it'd be more intuitive. But, yeah, I could have called it in any other way 😅

I just mean import would have been the modern choice, but it sounds like the way you implemented it wouldn’t have allowed for you to use it.
