反应：添加另一个库所需的jQuery

Question

I want to use the library Trumbowyg in my react project. But the problem is the library throws error jQuery is not defined .

I found info that jquery must be somehow exposed to window as global variable. Authors of the library provide example with Webpack but I don't have this in my project.

So I've installed jquery through npm install and tried to import it and set to the window variable like this (it didn't work):

import jquery from 'jquery';
window.$ = window.jQuery = jquery;

How can I setup jquery so that trumbowyg sees it? I've created my project with create-react-app command if it can help you.

As others commented, you should choose other library which don't use jQuery. But if you still want to use then you can do like the following:

import jquery from 'jquery'
import Trumbowyg from 'react-trumbowyg';
...
componentDidMount() { // hook the jQuery when component is mounted
  window.$ = window.jQuery = jquery;
}
render() {
  return <Trumbowyg id='react-trumbowyg'/>
}

If this still not working, then require the plugin .
