How to use npm packages in laravel

I am trying to use a npm package in my laravel5 app, but I am not aware with node and require, can someone please help me to understand that how can I use the npm packages.

I am trying to use the following package:

Here is my code:

<script src="http://ift.tt/1yCEpkO"></script>
<script data-main="{!! url() !!}/vendor/lib/require.js" src="{!! url() !!}/vendor/lib/require.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

            var imdb = require('imdb-api');
            var movie;
            imdb.getReq({ name: 'The Toxic Avenger' }, function(err, things) {
                movie = things;
            });
            console.log(movie);
        </script>

I am getting the following error in console:

Uncaught Error: Module name "imdb-api" has not been loaded yet for context: _. Use require([])
