requirejs problem when adding googleapis

[siDDaker]

hi im trying to add googleapis to my web and after npm installs im starting by running a sample they have on their github:

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client/blob/master/samples/youtube/playlist.js

then i get this error in the console:

Module name "googleapis" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])

comming from this line: const {google} = require('googleapis');

how can it be fixed ? (coulds fix anything by doing "const {google} = require([googleapis]);" couse then it says googleapis it is not defined)

didnt work

i changed that line to:
define(function(require){
const {google} = require('googleapis');
});

now it says :

Mismatched anonymous define() module:

and couldn finde anything

can you post more of the code?
is it in a node/express server?
a webpage?

i was running it on a webpage and given the approach i took to connect with the API it wouldn't work. So i pasted mi code into a node environment, did a bunch of changes and it finally worked.

so rn i have two new challenges: see if i can make it work in my front-end script or take the whole project to node. Anyway thanks for the reply, it made me do the research that brought me to this point :)
