I want to use bootstrap and other jQuery plugins (datepicker, carousel, ...) in my React app which uses create-react-app
.
Here is how I import jQuery and bootstrap:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import $ from 'jquery';
window.jQuery = window.$ = $;
import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min';
And I get the following error:
./src/App.js
Line 5: Import in body of module; reorder to top import/first
Search for the keywords to learn more about each error.
Note that I don't want to use react-bootstrap
package.
In this case for using bootstrap
or bootstrap-datepicker
I needed to require
it instead of importing it.
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import $ from 'jquery';
window.jQuery = window.$ = $;
require('bootstrap');
require('bootstrap-datepicker');
to avoid having to require
, one can also create a separate file to load jquery, eg.
jquery-loader.js:
import $ from "jquery"
window.$ = $
window.jQuery = $
and then
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';
import './jquery-loader';
import 'bootstrap';
import 'bootstrap-datepicker';
