I have an auto generated JavaScript file that was compiled from an autogenerated Typescript file that uses UMD namespaces (similar to TypeLite).
I am manually copying the javascript file to the /dist folder through web pack config file.
I have been able to get this to work in the client by adding a script tag in _layout.cshtml file.

I can't seem to get it to be included in the server side code. If I do this in the boot-server.ts file:
require("../proxy.js");
then I get the error message below.

I need to know the proper way to bring in an outside JavaScript file that makes use of global variables. Another option is to disable the server side rendering, which is OK.

Thank you for your help!
