If you're getting the error message "require is not defined" when utilizing dotenv in a module, it means that the require function is not available in the environment you're running your code in.

One way to address this error message is to use a tool like webpack or browserify to bundle your code and make it compatible with the browser environment. Another option is to use the import statement instead of the require statement in your code.

For example, instead of using:

const dotenv = require('dotenv');

You could use:

import dotenv from 'dotenv';

This will allow your code to run in a browser environment that doesn't support the require function.
