Currently, I have a template that utilizes jQuery in various sections. In my angular.json file, I specify the following scripts:
"scripts": [
"node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js",
"src/assets/vendor/slimscroll/slimscroll.min.js",
]
This setup works smoothly as slimscroll.min.js requires jQuery to function properly. However, I also require jQuery in a specific home.component.ts file. To accomplish this, I installed jQuery using npm install and imported it into Typescript like so:
import * as $ from 'jquery';
The issue with this approach is that now jQuery is being imported in two separate locations: vendor.js and scripts.js. This duplication is not an ideal practice. If I only include jQuery in Typescript, then slimscroll.min.js stops working and I receive the error:
jQuery is not defined
So, I am currently seeking a solution to efficiently use jQuery in both locations simultaneously.
