Can't resolve 'child_process' and 'path'

[PantherGeek7]

I am currently trying to display the version number of my client-side Angular application on a special admin page. Here is what I am currently coding:

// Top of TypeScript file
import * as nbgv from "nerdbank-gitversioning";

// Inside class
public version: string;

// Inside class constructor
nbgv.getVersion()
    .then(r => this.version = r.version)
    .catch(e => console.error(e));

This is similar to the instructions given here: https://github.com/dotnet/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/blob/master/doc/node.md

Unfortunately, when I try to compile my application, I am getting these errors:

ERROR in ./node_modules/nerdbank-gitversioning/asyncprocess.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'child_process' in '\node_modules\nerdbank-gitversioning'
ERROR in ./node_modules/nerdbank-gitversioning/core.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'path' in '\node_modules\nerdbank-gitversioning'

What do I need to do in order to retrieve the version number of my build at runtime?

Are you running in a node process, or a web browser? This npm package spawns a process so it won't work in a web browser.
