I’ve searched and searched and I can’t find the answer to my problem on SO. So here’s my issue. I’m trying to load jQuery Globally using Laravel Mix. I’ve tried modifying all sorts of files, and nothing seems to be working… I’m still getting the “$ is not defined” error.
Here’s my code.
Bootstrap.js
window._ = require('lodash');
window.Popper = require('popper.js').default;
try {
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('bootstrap');
} catch (e) {}
window.axios = require('axios');
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';
let token = document.head.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]');
if (token) {
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRF-TOKEN'] = token.content;
} else {
console.error('CSRF token not found: https://laravel.com/docs/csrf#csrf-x-csrf-token');
}
webpack.mix.js
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.js('resources/assets/js/select2.min.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/admin/app.scss', 'public/css/admin')
.copy('resources/assets/css/fontawesome.css', 'public/css')
.copy('resources/assets/css/select2.min.css', 'public/css')
.copy('resources/assets/webfonts', 'public/webfonts')
.copy('resources/assets/js/tinymce', 'public/js/tinymce');
mix.browserSync('http://localhost:8000');
Error I’m getting:
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
Code on inside of create.blade.php in the @section(‘scripts’)
<script>
$(function(){
alert();
});
</script>
{{-- Tiny MCE --}}
<script src="/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js"></script>
<script>
tinymce.init({
selector:'textarea',
plugins: 'link',
menubar: false,
branding: false,
resize: false,
statusbar: false,
force_br_newlines : false,
force_p_newlines : false,
forced_root_block : '',
toolbar: ['undo redo | cut copy paste | removeformat',
'bold italic underline | link | outdent indent | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify alignnone',],
});
</script>
{{-- Image Javascript --}}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
// We can attach the `fileselect` event to all file inputs on the page
$(document).on('change', ':file', function() {
var input = $(this),
numFiles = input.get(0).files ? input.get(0).files.length : 1,
label = input.val().replace(/\\/g, '/').replace(/.*\//, '');
input.trigger('fileselect', [numFiles, label]);
});
// We can watch for our custom `fileselect` event like this
$(document).ready( function() {
$(':file').on('fileselect', function(event, numFiles, label) {
var input = $(this).parents('.input-group').find(':text'),
log = numFiles > 1 ? numFiles + ' files selected' : label;
if( input.length ) {
input.val(log);
} else {
if( log ) alert(log);
}
});
});
});
</script>
AND finally my layout file
<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
{{-- Page Specific Scripts --}}
@yield('scripts')
</body>
What am I doing wrong?!?!?
Console.log(e) returns nothing… which means jquery should be loading correctly but isn’t.
If you use
jquery
in laravel mix, import this way in yourapp.js
:I had the same problem on Laravel 6. You can do two things…
Or remove de
defer
from the script tag;Should be:
Or use jQuery after load event in your Blade template like this;
The
defer
attribute in a script tag is used when you want the script to be executed after the page has been parsed completely. So you can only make use of the loaded script once the page is loaded and the script is completely loaded.I had the same errors with jquery in laravel. I have solved it by installing jquery via npm
npm install jquery
then I have imported jquery in the script that I need, like so:then
$
will be available in the js file.After that I have called my js file in entry-point.js and run
npm run dev
