when I use some angular library in my plugins always be told with`require is not defined`, such as library `angularjs-slider`, I use it like below:

```auto
import 'angularjs-slider/src/rzslider';
import 'angularjs-slider/dist/rzslider.min.css';

```

then the chrome console told me:

```auto
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
    at Object.495 (index.js:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap b2a4ee7…:50)
    at rzslider.js:16

    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap b2a4ee7…:50)
    at webpackJsonpCallback (bootstrap b2a4ee7…:21)

```

what's wrong with me?

What version of Kibana are you developing against? If you're using the most recent versions this should not be a problem.
