I'm trying to use a simple bootstrap, jquery plugin bootstrap-show-password
but on load the page with form shows an error Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
.
I don't understand why jquery wouldn't be loaded. I did the usual
npm install bootstrap jquery popper.js --save
and in my app.js
I have
//import jQuery from "jquery";
//window.$ = window.jQuery = jQuery;
// this should be loaded with webpack, right?! ^
import "bootstrap";
import "bootstrap-show-password";
I'm looking at the webpack docs and it says to use the the plugin provider, but when I add that to my webpack.config.js
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
});
npm run build
gives me TypeError: webpack.ProvidePlugin is not a constructor
error
Did I miss something that needs to be installed?
Here are my package.json
dependencies
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.12.17",
"autoprefixer": "^9.8.6",
"babel-loader": "^8.2.2",
"browser-sync": "^2.26.14",

OK, after a few hours I found that the culprit was incorrectly initialized webpack
var in webpack.config.js
. For reason that's beyond me I had there
const { webpack } = require("webpack");
instead of
const webpack = require("webpack");
Had the same issue and I was able to resolve it. This was my webpack config initially:
const { webpack } = require("webpack");
...
plugins: [
...
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
Buffer: ["buffer", "Buffer"],
}),
...
],
...
Here's what I did to resolve it:
// Import ProvidePlugin directly
const { webpack, ProvidePlugin } = require("webpack");
...
plugins: [
...
// call the ProvidePlugin constructor directly
new ProvidePlugin({
Buffer: ["buffer", "Buffer"],
}),
...
],
...
webpack.ProvidePlugin
will only work if you used the default import of webpack like this,
const webpack = require("webpack");
