How to import jquery using ES6 syntax?

by

index.js

import {$,jQuery} from 'jquery';
// export for others scripts to use
window.$ = $;
window.jQuery = jQuery;

First, as @nem suggested in comment, the import should be done from node_modules/:

Well, importing from dist/ doesn’t make sense since that is your distribution folder with production ready app. Building your app should take what’s inside node_modules/ and add it to the dist/ folder, jQuery included.

Next, the glob –* as– is wrong as I know what object I’m importing (e.g. jQuery and $), so a straigforward import statement will work.

Last you need to expose it to other scripts using the window.$ = $.

Then, I import as both $ and jQuery to cover all usages, browserify remove import duplication, so no overhead here! ^o^y
