"jQuery is not defined" when using the NPM installation method.

[JulsWlf]

I followed the NPM installation method:

"use strict";
let $ = require("jquery");
require("jquery-simple-timer")($);

$(() => {
  $('.timer').startTimer();
});

and it says jQuery is not defined.

Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that Im transpiling ES6 code using babelify and browserify.

Note: The jQuery is not defined comes from the plugin file itself "jquery.simple.timer.js:189"

Thanks in advance!

Hmm.. maybe this is my fault since I haven't yet published the latest version of this to npm (#19).
But either way, jQuery should be installed prior to using this plugin - it is not installed automatically. Have you tried installing jQuery first and then using the plugin straight from the source file ? Transpiling should not be an issue.

Yeah, I had jQuery already installed and was importing it via CommonJS method.
Turns out it is indeed an old version in npm, I downloaded the file directly from here and it works just fine!

Cool! Sorry about that. Working on a fix for #25 and as soon as I'm done with that I'll publish the new version to npm.
