Answer 1

I had the same issue with a js file generated by the Typescript compiler. Same line :

Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });

And same error :

game.js:2 Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined

I was defining a Game class in this file. I solved the issue by adding this at the end of my game.ts file:

export = Game;

With this, the Typescript compiler replaced:

Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });

with:

module.exports = Game;

No more error for me after this.
