Hello,
I have a template which holds a form with a few elements. I need to initialize the JS for some of these elements using jquery, but I keep getting an error saying: “$ is not defined”. I followed all the steps in this post: Setup, import and use Javascript in Phoenix and also from the official Phoenix docs.
Here is the npm section of my brunch-config.js:
npm: {
enabled: true,
whitelist: ["jquery"],
globals: {
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery'
}
}
Here is how I am calling the script from my template:
<script>
$('.ui.tags.dropdown').dropdown({
keys: {delimiter: 13},
allowAdditions: true
});
</script>
Please let me know if I can provide more information.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

And you’re including
app.jsin your layout/page right? If so have you tried moving the script around on the page to be at the beginning/end of the body tag?ryh
My understanding is that you have to include the app at the beginning of the document in the
<head>. I don’t really like that, so I found this:You put this in the head:
And then you put this after your
<script src="app.js"></script>:OvermindDL1
Remember that things compiled into modules are not available at global scope nor should they be. Instead of doing things like
$...you should be doing things likerequire("jQuery")...(if using brunch) or so (which you can bind to a variable if you want).
