Include external library in webpack

Question

What is the syntax for including libraries in the bundle? What I found in "LIBRARY AND EXTERNALS" for the documentation is this:

• depends on "jquery", but jquery should not be included in the bundle

What do I need to do if i want to do this instead:

• depends on "jquery", and jquery should be included in the bundle.

Answer 1

You can include it using Provideplugin

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