Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery, using Webpack
I'm new to webpack, but I started using it in one of my projects to learn about it.
I would like to use jQuery with Bootstrap, however, when I launch the app, I'm getting the following error:
bootstrap.min.js?5802:6Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery
In my webpack config, I have defined two entry points, one for libraries of the project and one for the external ones, called vendors, like jQuery, Bootstrap, etc.
In vendors, I have defined the Bootstrap library after the jQuery library, but I cannot get rid of the error. Any clues of what I'm missing?
This is my webapp config:
import webpack from 'webpack';
import HtmlWebpackPlugin from 'html-webpack-plugin';
import autoprefixer from 'autoprefixer';
let node_dir = __dirname + '/node_modules';
export default {
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'],
alias: {
'jquery': node_dir + '/jquery/dist/jquery.js',
'jquery-validation': node_dir + '/jquery-validation/dist/jquery.validate.js',
'bootstrap': node_dir + '/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js'
}
},

Answer
I finally got rid of the error just by adding a new entry in the ProvidePlugin:
jQuery:"jquery"
so finally the plugin looks like this:
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: "jquery",
jquery: "jquery",
"window.jQuery": "jquery",
jQuery:"jquery"
})
I leave it here in case someone else faces the same problem.
