I\'m currently trying to implement a datepicker into my application, the problem is that there is no documentation on how to add the jquery-ui-rails
gem through
None of these answers quite worked for me. Here's how I ended up getting it implemented:
yarn add jquery
then
yarn add jquery-ui-dist
in your app/javascript/packs/application.js file:
// jquery
import $ from 'jquery';
global.$ = $
global.jQuery = $
require('jquery-ui');
// jquery-ui theme
require.context('file-loader?name=[path][name].[ext]&context=node_modules/jquery-ui-dist!jquery-ui-dist', true, /jquery-ui\.css/ );
require.context('file-loader?name=[path][name].[ext]&context=node_modules/jquery-ui-dist!jquery-ui-dist', true, /jquery-ui\.theme\.css/ );
and in config/webpack/environment.js:
const { environment } = require('@rails/webpacker');
const webpack = require('webpack');
// resolve-url-loader must be used before sass-loader
environment.loaders.get('sass').use.splice(-1, 0, {
loader: 'resolve-url-loader',
options: {
attempts: 1
}
});
// Add an additional plugin of your choosing : ProvidePlugin
environment.plugins.prepend('Provide', new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
JQuery: 'jquery',
jquery: 'jquery',
'window.Tether': "tether",
Popper: ['popper.js', 'default'], // for Bootstrap 4
})
)
const aliasConfig = {
'jquery': 'jquery/src/jquery',
'jquery-ui': 'jquery-ui-dist/jquery-ui.js'
};
environment.config.set('resolve.alias', aliasConfig);
//
module.exports = environment;
A restart to my server got it working fine for me. Here is a link with details on webpacker that I used to get this to work:

Kalman's answer puts jQuery within the scope of the scripts in the app/javascript
directory but not with any in-line javascript that you may have on your webpages.
If you want to access jQuery from the scope of the webpage, you could can put jQuery under the public
directory then modify app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
to link to it like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>JqueryTest</title>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<%= csp_meta_tag %>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
<%= javascript_pack_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track': 'reload' %>
<script src="/jquery-3.4.1.js"></script>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "/jquery-ui-1.12.1.custom/jquery-ui.min.css" %>
<script src="/jquery-ui-1.12.1.custom/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>
