You cannot execute code against the nodejs API inside a web browser. The nodejs api is only available when being executed by the nodejs VM.

Assuming node js is installed locally and available on the PATH.

Create index.js
Input the following

const os = require('os'); console.log(os.hostname());
Run the js file node index.js

You want to say that you cannot use node modules in web apps?

That is not what I said. You can in fact use modules inside a client side web app if you are using something like webpack/browserify to resolve imports/requires. This does not mean you have access to the nodejs api(although some of the api is reimplemented/repackageed as npm modules).
