require not defined error on bundled JS reactjs - javascript

I'm new to Django and ReactJS, was trying to compile a simple JSX code to JS using this tutorial : http://geezhawk.github.io/2016/02/02/using-react-with-django-rest-framework.html
Didn't work, so I used npm run dev to compile, now it worked but giving error in browser console : Uncaught ReferenceError: react is not defined
Here is my webpack.config.js
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker');
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
module.exports = {
//the base directory (absolute path) for resolving the entry option
context: __dirname,
//the entry point we created earlier. Note that './' means
//your current directory. You don't have to specify the extension now,
//because you will specify extensions later in the `resolve` section
entry: './assets/js/index',
output: {
//where you want your compiled bundle to be stored
path: path.resolve('./assets/bundles/'),
//naming convention webpack should use for your files
filename: '[name]-[hash].js',
},
target: 'node', // in order to ignore built-in modules like path, fs, etc.
externals: {
react: 'react'
}, // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder
plugins: [
//tells webpack where to store data about your bundles.
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
//makes jQuery available in every module
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
//React: "react",
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
})
],
module: {
loaders: [
//a regexp that tells webpack use the following loaders on all
//.js and .jsx files
{test: /\.jsx?$/,
//we definitely don't want babel to transpile all the files in
//node_modules. That would take a long time.
/*exclude: /node_modules/,*/
//use the babel loader
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
//specify that we will be dealing with React code
presets: ['react']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
//tells webpack where to look for modules
modulesDirectories: ['node_modules'],
//extensions that should be used to resolve modules
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
}
}
And assets/bundles/index.js
var React = require('react')
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom')
//snaha//
var BooksList = React.createClass({
loadBooksFromServer: function(){
console.log(123454657);
$.ajax({
url: this.props.url,
datatype: 'json',
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
this.setState({data: data});
}.bind(this)
})
},
getInitialState: function() {
return {data: []};
},
componentDidMount: function() {
this.loadBooksFromServer();
setInterval(this.loadBooksFromServer,
this.props.pollInterval)
},
render: function() {
if (this.state.data) {
console.log('DATA!')
var bookNodes = this.state.data.map(function(book){
return <li> {book.title} </li>
})
}
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello React!</h1>
<ul>
{bookNodes}
</ul>
</div>
)
}
})
ReactDOM.render(<BooksList url='/api/' pollInterval={1000} />,
document.getElementById('container'))
And templates/body.html
{% load render_bundle from webpack_loader %}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.7/react-with-addons.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/0.14.7/react-dom.js"></script>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Hello React
{% block content %}
{{ id }}
{% endblock %}
</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"></div>
{% render_bundle 'main' %}
</body>
</html>
Anything I'm missing? here is my Django project structure

Finally I've solved it!
Problem was : it was trying to get variable react where as React.js on browser was providing variable React!
So I simple change of externals of webpack.config.js to
externals: {
React: 'react'
},
solved the issue!
Next Problem Faced :
"process was not defined"
Solution : added
var env = process.env.WEBPACK_ENV;
to top of webpack.config.js
and
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}
})
into the plugins part of model.export
So Final webpack.config.js would be :
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var BundleTracker = require('webpack-bundle-tracker');
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
var env = process.env.WEBPACK_ENV;
module.exports = {
//the base directory (absolute path) for resolving the entry option
context: __dirname,
//the entry point we created earlier. Note that './' means
//your current directory. You don't have to specify the extension now,
//because you will specify extensions later in the `resolve` section
entry: './assets/js/index',
output: {
//where you want your compiled bundle to be stored
path: path.resolve('./assets/bundles/'),
//naming convention webpack should use for your files
filename: '[name]-[hash].js',
},
target: 'node', // in order to ignore built-in modules like path, fs, etc.
externals: {
React: 'react'
}, // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder
plugins: [
//tells webpack where to store data about your bundles.
new BundleTracker({filename: './webpack-stats.json'}),
//makes jQuery available in every module
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
//React: "react",
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env.NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}),
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': {
'NODE_ENV': '"production"'
}
})
],
module: {
loaders: [
//a regexp that tells webpack use the following loaders on all
//.js and .jsx files
{test: /\.jsx?$/,
//we definitely don't want babel to transpile all the files in
//node_modules. That would take a long time.
/*exclude: /node_modules/,*/
//use the babel loader
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
//specify that we will be dealing with React code
presets: ['react']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
//tells webpack where to look for modules
modulesDirectories: ['node_modules'],
//extensions that should be used to resolve modules
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
}
}
Now Enjoy React! Happy Coding :-)

Can you look if you have all the requirements installed.
Look inside package.json. You should have react noted in requirements if you do run.
npm install
If you don't, then run
npm install react --save
ps: in my option if you are running Webpack try to add babel to Webpack presets and write javascript in ES2015 specification.

How to Access jQuery Plugin From A Separate Webpack Bundle

I'm bundling JS and CSS (compiled from SCSS) into two separate bundles, one for 3rd party (vendor) and one for the project code (company). I'm able to access jQuery via $ successfully from scripts in the company bundle as a global, such as from some-other-script.js, without any issues. However when trying to call the stickyTableHeaders function from the StickyTableHeaders plugin in table-headers.js: Uncaught TypeError: $(...).stickyTableHeaders is not a function. I don't get any other errors about loading scripts etc. and I can see that vendor.bundle.js includes the plugin code.
Additionally I see from the bottom of the plugin source that the function is meant to be added to $ as follows:
$.fn[name] = function ( options ) {
return this.each(function () {
var instance = $.data(this, 'plugin_' + name);
if (instance) {
if (typeof options === 'string') {
instance[options].apply(instance);
} else {
instance.updateOptions(options);
}
} else if(options !== 'destroy') {
$.data(this, 'plugin_' + name, new Plugin( this, options ));
}
});
};
Any ideas why it can't find the function on the $ (jQuery) object?
This question seems similar, however the poster was having trouble with the plugin not being able to find jQuery in that case. Additionally I'm not sure if using the import-loader as per one of the suggestions is the right approach in my case, or if I'm doing something fundamentally wrong. You can see commented out lines in the webpack.config.js below where I've tried to register sticky-table-headers as a plugin with webpack without success - same result.
My webpack.config.js is as follows:
var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
var extractSass = new ExtractTextPlugin({
filename: "[name].bundle.css",
disable: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"
});
module.exports = function (env) {
env = env || {};
var isProd = env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
// Setup base config for all environments
var config = {
entry: {
vendor: './Client/js/vendor',
company: './Client/js/company' // Includes all SCSS, which ends up in company.bundle.css via extract-text-webpack-plugin.
},
output: {
// ReSharper disable once UseOfImplicitGlobalInFunctionScope
path: path.join(__dirname, 'wwwroot/dist'),
filename: '[name].bundle.js'
},
devtool: 'eval-source-map',
mode: "development",
resolve: {
extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.js', '.jsx'],
alias: {
"jquery.validation": "jquery-validation/dist/jquery.validate.js",
//"sticky-table-headers": "sticky-table-headers/js/jquery.stickytableheaders.js"
}
},
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: 'jquery',
jQuery: 'jquery',
'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
Popper: ['popper.js', 'default'],
//"sticky-table-headers": ["sticky-table-headers", "default"]
}),
extractSass
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: extractSass.extract({
use: [{
loader: "css-loader"
}, {
loader: "sass-loader"
}],
// use style-loader in development
fallback: "style-loader"
})
}
]
}
}
// Alter config for prod environment
if (isProd) {
config.devtool = 'source-map'; // SourceMap emitted as a separate file.
//Normally disallow access on webserver or use (none) instead. Internal
//app so leaving them accessible for easier support.
config.mode = "production";
}
return config;
};
Then in vendor.js I have:
import 'jquery';
import 'popper.js';
import 'bootstrap';
import "jquery-validation";
import "jquery-validation-unobtrusive";
import "sticky-table-headers";
In company.js I have:
import '../scss/site.scss';
import './site';
import './some-other-script';
import './table-headers';
Finally in table-headers.js I have:
(function () {
$(function () {
if ($(".my-sticky-table-header").length === 0) return;
var offset = $('.navbar').height();
$(".my-sticky-table-header").stickyTableHeaders({
fixedOffset:offset});
});
})();
Thanks.
Looks like there was a fundamental flaw with this setup. I ended up adding:
import './vendor';
to the top of company.js and then using the SplitChunks plugin mentioned here to avoid everything in the vendor bundle being duplicated. This allowed library functions to be called from the company bundle.
(Something like this may have worked but it seems messy).

Webpack - Excluding node_modules with also keep a separated browser and server management

(webpack.config.js file content below)
I'm trying to make a webpack exclusion on node modules.
I found that using webpack-node-externals works for it but using that on my common config causes this other error:
Require is not defined on reflect-metadata - __webpack_require__ issue
So... I was wondering how can i exclude webpack bundling also on the browser side without getting any issue.
My webpack version: 3.11.0
webpack-config.js
const path = require('path');
const webpack = require('webpack');
const merge = require('webpack-merge');
const AotPlugin = require('#ngtools/webpack').AotPlugin;
const CheckerPlugin = require('awesome-typescript-loader').CheckerPlugin;
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');
module.exports = (env) => {
// Configuration in common to both client-side and server-side bundles
const isDevBuild = !(env && env.prod);
const sharedConfig = {
//externals: [nodeExternals()], // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder
stats: { modules: false },
context: __dirname,
resolve: { extensions: [ '.js', '.ts' ] },
output: {

{ test: /\.css$/, use: [ 'to-string-loader', 'style-loader', isDevBuild ? 'css-loader' : 'css-loader?minimize' ] },
{ test: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg)$/, use: 'url-loader?limit=25000' }
]
},
plugins: [new CheckerPlugin()]
};
// Configuration for client-side bundle suitable for running in browsers
const clientBundleOutputDir = './wwwroot/dist';
const clientBundleConfig = merge(sharedConfig, {
entry: { 'main-client': './ClientApp/boot.browser.ts' },
output: { path: path.join(__dirname, clientBundleOutputDir) },
plugins: [
new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
context: __dirname,
manifest: require('./wwwroot/dist/vendor-manifest.json')
})
].concat(isDevBuild ? [
// Plugins that apply in development builds only
new webpack.SourceMapDevToolPlugin({
filename: '[file].map', // Remove this line if you prefer inline source maps
moduleFilenameTemplate: path.relative(clientBundleOutputDir, '[resourcePath]') // Point sourcemap entries to the original file locations on disk
})
] : [
// Plugins that apply in production builds only
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin(),
new AotPlugin({
tsConfigPath: './tsconfig.json',
entryModule: path.join(__dirname, 'ClientApp/app/app.browser.module#AppModule'),
exclude: ['./**/*.server.ts']
})
])
});
// Configuration for server-side (prerendering) bundle suitable for running in Node
const serverBundleConfig = merge(sharedConfig, {
resolve: { mainFields: ['main'] },
entry: { 'main-server': './ClientApp/boot.server.ts' },
plugins: [

sourceType: 'commonjs2',

})
].concat(isDevBuild ? [] : [
// Plugins that apply in production builds only
new AotPlugin({
tsConfigPath: './tsconfig.json',
entryModule: path.join(__dirname, 'ClientApp/app/app.server.module#AppModule'),
exclude: ['./**/*.browser.ts']
})
]),
output: {
libraryTarget: 'commonjs',
path: path.join(__dirname, './ClientApp/dist')
},
target: 'node',
externals: [nodeExternals()], // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder,
devtool: 'inline-source-map'
});
return [clientBundleConfig, serverBundleConfig];
};
GOT IT!
Before posting my solution, I'd like to thanks Aluan Haddad for his useful comment in my question above.
As suggested by Aluan, in fact, the problem was related to the need to use also a module loader, more than a module bundler.
So, the steps that I followed are these:
Installing requireJS ==> http://requirejs.org/docs/node.html
Removing externals: [nodeExternals()], // in order to ignore all modules in node_modules folder from my common webpack configuration and adding it under my server configuration (done before my question, but it's a really important step) [see webpack.config.js content in the question]
Adding target: 'node', before my externals point above, under my server side section (done before my question, but it's a really important step) [see webpack.config.js content in the question]
This makes sure that browser side keeps target:'web' (default target), and target becomes node just for the server.
launched webpack config vendor command manually from powershell webpack --config webpack.config.vendor.js
launched webpack config command manually from powershell webpack --config webpack.config.js
That worked for me! Hope It will works also for anyone else reading this question and encountering this issue!

Webpack - module not found even though module exists

This is a branch off of my previous question and applied suggestions. But I am still having major issues.
I now have my babel transpiler, along with a .babelrc file in place. My import code to import my module looks like this:
var init = require('./app/js/modules/toc');
init();
However I'm getting this:
ERROR in ./app/js/script.js
Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' ./app/js/modules/toc in /projects/project-root/app/js
# ./app/js/script.js 1:11-42
Webpack config:
var debug = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
devtool: debug ? "inline-sourcemap" : null,
entry: "./app/js/script.js",
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.js$/,
use: 'babel-loader'
}]
},
output: {
path: __dirname + "public/javascripts",
filename: "scripts.min.js"
},
plugins: debug ? [] : [
new webpack.optimize.DedupePlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({ mangle: false, sourcemap: false }),
],
};
.babelrc
{
"presets": ["es2015"]
}
Gulptask
//scripts task, also "Uglifies" JS
gulp.task('scripts', function() {
gulp.src('app/js/script.js')
.pipe(webpack(require('./webpack.config.js')))
.pipe(gulp.dest('public/javascripts'))
.pipe(livereload());
});
I'm totally lost...what am I doing wrong?
For my import code I also tried:
import {toc} from './modules/toc'
toc();
UPDATE: As recommended I needed to add resolve to my config. It looks like this now:
var debug = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";
var webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
context: __dirname,
devtool: debug ? "inline-sourcemap" : null,
entry: "./app/js/script.js",
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js']
},
module: {
rules: [{
test: /\.js$/,
use: 'babel-loader'
}]
},
output: {
path: __dirname + "public/javascripts",
filename: "scripts.min.js"
},
plugins: debug ? [] : [
new webpack.optimize.DedupePlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({ mangle: false, sourcemap: false }),
],
};
Sadly I still get:
ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Cannot resolve 'file' or
'directory' ./app/js/script.js in /projects/project-root
Does my file structure need to change?
Whenever you import/require a module without specifying a file extension, you need to tell webpack how to resolve it. This is done by the resolve section inside the webpack config.
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js'] // add your other extensions here
}
As a rule of thumb: whenever webpack complains about not resolving a module, the answer probably lies in the resolve config.
Let me know about any further questions and if this works.
EDIT
resolve directly to the root level of your config:
// webpack.config.js
module.export = {
entry: '...',
// ...
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js']
}
// ...
};
You are specifying an entry point in your webpack config AND in gulp. Remove the entry property in your webpack config.
If you specify it twice, the gulp config will tell webpack to get the file in ./app/js/script.jsand then webpack in ./app/js/script.js which will result in a path like ./app/js/app/js/script.js.
Keep us posted if you fixed it. =)
Given that your script is located at ./app/js/script.js and the requested module is there ./app/js/modules/toc, you would need to call it relatively to your script => ./modules/toc should work.
This is because both your script and module are located in the jsfolder.

Why do Vue single file components compile to such large files?

I am new to Vue and Grunt/Gulp/Webpack. I got a Vue app to work fine (Grunt: browserify -> babel -> uglify) with a setup like this:
// app.js
const LoginComponent = require('./login.js')
// login.js
const template = `<some html>`
module.exports = Vue.component('login-component', {
template: template,
// component stuff
})
Then, in order to make my components more readable, I switched to single file components (Webpack, Grunt: babel -> uglify) and go everything to work like this:
// app.js
import LoginComponent from './login.js'
// login.js
<template>
<some html>
</template>
<script>
export defalut {
// component stuff
}
</script>
The problem is that when using webpack the file size is doubled. The first setup resulted in an app.min.js of 3.3kb, and the second setup with webpack was 7.0kb.
Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
My webpack.config.js looks like this:
var path = require('path')
module.exports = {
entry: './resources/js/app.js',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'resources/js/temp')
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader',
},
]
}
}
I don't see anything wrong with your config, sometimes webpack needs to generate some runtime code that might explain the increase of your bundle size.
However you can reduce it by using the DefinePlugin to set the NODE_ENV variable to production and leverage the UglifyjsWebpackPlugin, it will result in optimized code that will most likely be smaller, so something like the following
module.exports = {
entry: './resources/js/app.js',
output: {
filename: 'bundle.js',
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'resources/js/temp')
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.vue$/,
loader: 'vue-loader',
},
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.DefinePlugin({
'process.env': { NODE_ENV: JSON.stringify('production') },
}),
new webpack.optimize.UglifyJsPlugin({ compressor: { warnings: false } }),
]
}
You can also specify the option dead_code to uglify so it trims out code that is never used, which might help in your case.
Also, you should get rid of Grunt entirely using the babel-loader and the appropriate presets.

Legacy JS bundling & minification with Webpack

My project has multiple JS-Files that contain function declarations without any exporting and uses jquery, jquery-ui and other libraries that need to be accessible globally.
Functions are often called by inline JavaScript in html-elements (<button onclick="doStuff()">...)
My goal is now to bundle the app files into bundle.js and the vendor files into vendor.js. I've managed to accomplish the second task but the first one is not working as I would have hoped.
The bundle.js file should only contain all .js files concatenated + minified and then be executed in the global context.
What I tried so far:
scripts-loader (no minification...)
exports-loader (context problem?)
expose-loader (doesn't really expose functions globally outside of the bundle and needs exports)
For easier discussion I give a simplified scenario:
src/a.js
function doStuffA() {
alert("A");
}
src/b.js
function doStuffB() {
alert("B");
}
src/index.js
require("script!./a");
require("script!./b");
index.html
<body>
<button onclick="doStuffA()">A</button>
<button onclick="doStuffB()">B</button>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
<script src="vendor.js"></script>
</body>
webpack.config.js
var webpack = require("webpack");
module.exports = {
entry: {
app: "./src/index.js",
vendor: [
"jquery",
"jquery-ui"
]
},
output: {
path: __dirname,
filename: "bundle.js"
},
module: {
loaders: [
{test: /\.json$/, loader: "json"},
{test: /\.css$/, loader: "style!css"}
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
$: "jquery",
"jQuery": "jquery",
"window.jQuery": "jquery"
}),
new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({ name: 'vendor', filename: 'vendor.bundle.js', minChunks: Infinity }),
]
}
