angular – Getting exception jQuery must be included before Bootstrap's JavaScript

Surely "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js" should come under “scripts”?

"styles": [
  "src/styles.css",
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"
],
"scripts": 
[
  "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"           
]

And the now duplicated jQuery file ""node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js" should be removed.

If you want to use bootstrap in your application, or if you already have in your project, make sure to include jQuery before including the bootstrap JavaScript file. Bootstrap’s JavaScript file requires jQuery.

"scripts": [ "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
           "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js"]

After including jQuery, stop running your Angular CLI application. Then, re-run it using ng serve.

And then, if you want to use jQuery in your code at some point, all you have to do is to import it in whatever component you want to use jQuery.

import * as $ from 'jquery';

or

declare var $: any;
