在Node.js项目中使用jquery进行api请求

Question

i am trying to make an api request in a node project using jquery, which I've istalled via npm install jquery but I'm getting the error TypeError: $.post is not a function even after requiring jquery like so: const $ = require('jquery') how can I get Jquery to work? I've seen a lot of examples of people using jquery but the process was not clear to me since I'm new to Node.js Here is my code

const $ = require('jquery')

$.post("https://ticketsoko.nouveta.co.ke/api/index.php", {
    TransactionType: "getEvents"
}, function (data, status) {
    var info = JSON.parse(data);
    for (var i = 0; i < info.data.length; i++) {
        ticketSales[i] = info.data[i].totalTicketsSalesAmount;
        events[i] = info.data[i].Events.events_name;
        console.log(events[i]);
    }
})

Answer 1

Here is step by step hard-to-go-wrong tutorial on how to obtain jQuery into your NodeJs project, then require it in your code and use in a manner similar to what you would do without NodeJs. If you haven't heard of modules and npm and are working with NodeJs, YESTERDAY was the time to have some working knowledge with them.

On the other hand, WHY are you using jQ for this? You have entire world of modules to your disposal via npm, there are better modules, more fitted to do HTTP requests with like this one:

request module

Answer 2

You have to use a capital Q for jQuery

So it is const $ = require('jQuery') instead of require('jquery') .
