'"$" is undefined' errors when using JQuery methods

[ckib16]

Hey all - noob question that I couldn't find an answer for.

I'm getting multiple "$" is undefined errors from the linter when entering standard JQuery code. Do I have to add $ to the "ignored list", or is there better integration with JQuery that I'm missing to avoid these errors?

Thanks,
Chris

Apologies - wrong thread! Closing now.

As $ is a non-standard property you probably want to do

const $ = window.$

Or declare $ as a global in the file itself or package.json. See for more info: http://standardjs.com/#i-use-a-library-that-pollutes-the-global-namespace-how-do-i-prevent-variable-is-not-defined-errors

@yoshuawuyts @jprichardson Thanks guys. I mistakenly posted this here. I've closed it out and have moved it to the more relevant linter-js-standard repo - ricardofbarros/linter-js-standard#63

@jprichardson - if able, can you tell me how to actually get to package.json? I'm not sure I understand the path to that file.

@ckib16 ah yeah, package.json is an npm / commonjs thing. It allows you to declare dependencies and configuration in a central place, and pull them in separate from your source code.

If you want to learn more about npm, package.json and bundling tools such as browserify http://nodeschool.io/ might be a good place to start.

@yoshuawuyts Oh wow, OK. Much different than what I thought package.JSON was. I'm actually learning Node next week so I'll check into that then. Much appreciated!
