Can I use jQuery with Node.js?

Question

Is it possible to use jQuery selectors/DOM manipulation on the server-side using Node.js?

Answer 1

As of jsdom v10, .env() function is deprecated. I did it like below after trying a lot of things to require jquery:

var jsdom = require('jsdom');
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
const { window } = new JSDOM();
const { document } = (new JSDOM('')).window;
global.document = document;

var $ = jQuery = require('jquery')(window);

Hope this helps you or anyone who has been facing these types of issues.
