[Solved] JavaScript Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

I keep getting Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

<script type="text/javascript">
     var reference = '1070'         
      function verifypayment() {
         const https = require('https')
         const options = {
             hostname: 'api.paystack.co',
             port: 443,
             path: '/transaction/verify/:' + reference,
             method: 'GET',
             headers: {
                 Authorization: ''
             }
          }
           
         https.request(options, res => {
             let data = ''
             res.on('data', (chunk) => {
                 data += chunk
             });
             res.on('end', () => {
                 console.log(JSON.parse(data))
             })
         }).on('error', error => {
             console.error(error)
         })
     };
</script>
