ReferenceError：require未定义 - browserify - generator-angular

Question

I'm trying to use node-geocoder , which uses require so I install browserify by sudo npm install -g browserify , and I think I'm stuck on bundling all by browserify <some_file>.js -o src/assets/bundle.js . I'm not sure which file I should choose, so I chose that were I want to use node-geocoder ( create.controller.js ) Finally I added <script src="bundle.js"></script> to my index.html But I still getting ReferenceError

angular.js:13550 ReferenceError: require is not defined
    at new CreateController 

create.controller.js

(function () {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module('untitled')
    .controller('CreateController', CreateController);

  /** @ngInject */
  function CreateController($http, $log) {

    var NodeGeocoder = require('node-geocoder');

    var options = {
      provider: 'google',
      httpAdapter: 'https', // Default
      apiKey: 'myApiKey',
      formatter: 'string'
    };

    var geocoder = NodeGeocoder(options);


    geocoder.geocode('29 champs elysée paris')
      .then(function(res) {
        console.log(res);
      })
      .catch(function(err) {
        console.log(err);
      });

I use generator-angular I'm very new at JS and all these frameworks, so I hope that I posted all needed information.

Require() isnt a valid function in client sided JavaScript. Try using RequireJS ( http://requirejs.org/docs/download.html )
