JS Require statement leaving variable undefined

I have the following require statement in my main app.js file I am attempting to spawn an Electron app from. However, the variables app and BrowserWindow are left undefined (demonstrated with a console.log() immediately following this line.

const {app, BrowserWindow} = require('electron');

I do not receive any errors until I attempt to access app.on();

Keep in mind this is not code I have written but the code I am getting from the tutorial on: https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/first-app
