How do I import jQuery Masonry using ES6 modules?

Question

I am trying to use this npm package https://www.npmjs.com/package/masonry-layout

As per install instruction I ran:

npm install masonry-layout --save

Then in my file,

import '../../../node_modules/masonry-layout/dist/masonry.pkgd.min.js'

$('.blog-posts-container').masonry({
    // options ...
    itemSelector: '.card-blog',
    columnWidth: 200
})

I'm trying to import the package in my file and run it, but I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).masonry is not a function

Im thinking there is something wrong with my import here. What am I doing wrong?

PS I am using webpack

To get this to work, you need to use jQueryBridget which makes jQuery plugin out of a constructor function.

Here's an example using the imagesloaded plugin to make sure masonry initializes after the images have loaded.

npm i -S jQueryBridget imagesLoaded

Then in app.js (or whatever):

import $ from 'jquery';
import Masonry from 'masonry-layout';
import jQueryBridget from 'jquery-bridget';
import imagesLoaded from 'imagesloaded';

jQueryBridget('masonry', Masonry, $);
jQueryBridget( 'imagesLoaded', imagesLoaded, $ );

const $container = $('#masonry-grid');

$container.imagesLoaded(() => {
  $container.masonry({
    columnWidth: 200,
    itemSelector: '.item',
  });
});

The above should be bundled (using Webpack) into bundle.js .

And for the sake of completeness, here's the HTML:

<html lang="en">

  <meta charset="UTF-8">

<body>
