I want to use bootstrap for my website (with node.js). But I have the following error :
/var/www/node_modules/bootstrap/js/transition.js:59
}(jQuery);
^
ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)

at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)
I tried to do a
var bootstrap = require('bootstrap');
in my main node.
I installed bootstrap with npm (npm install bootstrap
from my folder). I also tried to instal jquery with the same way and to add a var jQuery= require('jquery');
but it does not work. Do you have any idea what could be wrong ? I am starting node.js, i may miss something
Then I use <link href="../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
in my HTML webpage to refer to bootstrap
`

To use jquery plugins with npm/node you need to set the global jQuery variable before requiring your plugin [bootstrap in this case]:
