Error related to global.node_api_dotnet.require when trying to use streams

I tried a simple example to test out using streams:

[JSExport]
public class Class1
{
    public static Stream HelloStream(string greeter)
    {
        string message = "hello " + greeter;
        byte[] messageBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message);
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(messageBytes);
        stream.Position = 0;
        return stream;
    }
}

Oddly, this throws an error:

const MyModule = require('./MyModule/bin/MyModule');
const stream = MyModule.Class1.helloStream('world'); // throws

This is the error:

Error: The require function was not found on the global node_api_dotnet object. Set `global.node_api_dotnet.require` before loading the module.

I was able to fix it by adding global.node_api_dotnet = { require } before requiring the module, but this feels like a hack - am I doing something wrong?
