'jquery is not defined' when using webpack to load bootstrap

javascript jquery node.js twitter-bootstrap webpack

Add this as plugin

  new webpack.ProvidePlugin({   $: "jquery",   jQuery: "jquery"  })

and you should be able to have jquery in your whole project.

If issue persists after adding the plugin, try restarting your nodejs server. Remember to install jquery using npm install --save jquery.

javascript jquery node.js twitter-bootstrap webpack

Plugin is not needed. Just use following as entry:

entry: [    'jquery', //will load jquery from node_modules    './assets/js/index',]

Then in ES6+ file use:

import $ from "jquery";

javascript jquery node.js twitter-bootstrap webpack

I know this is a bit old, but I managed to do it like that :

global.jQuery = require('jquery');require('bootstrap');
