webpack Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'jquery'

Question

When I run the \'webpack\' command, I get this error:

ERROR in ./js/main.js Module not found: Error: Can\'t resolve \'jquery\' in \'...\\js\' @ ./js/main.js 3:0-16 4

Answer 1

The handlebars has nothing to do with it. The problem is that you changed resolve.modules to [path.join(__dirname, "js/helpers")]. So webpack will only look in js/helpers for any module, but jquery and other dependencies from npm are in node_modules. The default value of resolve.modules is ["node_modules"]. You also need to add node_modules to keep the regular module resolution.

resolve: {
  modules: [
    path.join(__dirname, "js/helpers"),
    "node_modules"
  ]
},
