javascript - Running two scripts in Electron MAIN process

Question

First off, I want to clarify that I want to require a script in the MAIN process, not the renderer.

my file structure is the following:

| main.js (what electron runs)
| js
| | app.js ( what I want to require)

I would like to use the functions/classes in app.js to run in the main process without putting it in main.js (app.js is huge and I don't want to clutter main.js)

I have tried

require('js/app.js')

but it returns the following:

App threw an error during load
TypeError: Cannot read property 'BrowserWindow' of undefined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/siddharth/dev/DJTorsten/js/app.js:7:39)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1152:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1173:10)
    at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:992:32)
    at Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:885:14)
    at Function.f._load (electron/js2c/asar_bundle.js:5:12738)
    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1032:19)
    at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:72:18)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/siddharth/dev/DJTorsten/main.js:4:17)
    at Module._compile (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1152:30)

which from debugging I can tell it is from app.js. From what I can tell, it is not loading node integration.

My question is that can I do something to load node integration or is there another solution to loading app.js in the main process.
