Removed Bert now jQuery is not defined

[mgscreativa]

Hi! I have removed Bert from my project and now I get jQuery is not defined. I think the issue arrises because of some template custom JS that needs to be placed on /client/js.

I have added jquery to my package.json, and tried to import jquery with import $ from 'jquery'; in client startup with no luck.

Thanks in advise!

This wouldn't have much to do with Bert. If you're using jQuery code anywhere in your project, you'll need to import jQuery into that/those files. To make it less difficult, you can also try adding the jQuery Meteor package with meteor add jquery which should make it global to your app.

Cool, I did add the jquery pakage to meteor and now works!

Newbie Question: I have added jquery trough packages.json, and imported it in the client startup file like this import $ from 'jquery';. Why that didn't worked out?

@mgscreativa depends on the context of where it's in use. If you're directly referencing $ in the file where you're importing it should work okay, but if $ is expected as a global (afaik this is true in some parts of Meteor), it won't work as it needs to be imported; no global $ is exposed, even when you perform the import on the client.
