jsdom.env not working on node.js C9

Question

So I\'ve been working with Node.js on C9 recently and ran into this problem in a javascript file:

jsdom.env(\"\", function(err, window) {
TypeError: jsdom.en

I was facing the same issue. Was looking for the solution all over the web. It turned out that jsdom has updated some of their features since v10. So, I wanted to use jQuery in the Node.js end of an express app. For those who are just looking for answers about how to include jQuery in Node, I would like to mention that you'll need to install jsdom using npm install jsdom and jQuery using npm install jquery. Then:

For jQuery to work in Node, a window with a document is required. Since no such window exists natively in Node, one can be mocked by jsdom as below:

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

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

.env() is deprecated since v10. Hope this helps you or anyone who has been facing these types of issues.
