Dropbox JavaScript SDK - ReferenceError: Dropbox is not defined (with angularJS 1.4)
Hi, I'm trying to use Dropbox Javascript SDK (version 2) in my angular 1.4 Application. The installation of the package was OK but when I execute the function 'viewFile' I get an error ReferenceErr...

Dropbox StaffHow are you importing 'Dropbox'? Do you get any errors before the ReferenceError?
Good morning Greg,
No, I don't get any error before the ReferenceError.
I've noticed that it's necessary to use
var Dropbox = require('dropbox');before creating the Dropbox object.
In that case I think I have to install RequireJS module in my angularJS 1.4 app.
Is this the way that I'll fix the problem or is there any other easier solution?
Thanks in advance.
- Greg-DBThanks for following up. I'm glad to hear you got this working. The JavaScript SDK wasn't built for Angular unfortunately, so I can't offer a more official/supported solution.
Try:
var Dropbox = require('dropbox').Dropbox;
