jQuery not define in bootstrap module

Question

I want to use bootstrap for my website (with node.js). But I have the following error :

/var/www/node_modules/bootstrap/js/transition.js:59 }(jQuery);

Answer 1

To use jquery plugins with npm/node you need to set the global jQuery variable before requiring your plugin [bootstrap in this case]:

global.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('bootstrap');
