Document use with Webpack Encore

[tacman]

When I use this with webpack encore, I get an error with $ not being defined, the issue with global jQuery.

There's probably a way to do this, if so, can you document it.

So far, I've installed the bundle, and installed simplemde via yarn

yarn add simplemde

Then in the js file, I've tried

global.$ = global.jQuery = $; // and similar hacks
require('simplemde');

But it still fails when I use the Form Type.

ReferenceError: $ is not defined[Learn More]

I know this is a common issue with Javascript Plugins and Encore. Since this is a Symfony bundle, I was hoping you'd have a solution. Thanks.

Hello,

So I haven't had a need to use encore yet so don't really know the best way to solve it but would add documentation if you could provide some idea of what does end up working. The only resource I found was this:

https://symfony.com/doc/current/frontend/encore/legacy-apps.html

Which seems like you sort of found but perhaps there were issues with or something?
