`imports?window.jQuery=jquery` doesn't capture window about imports-loader HOT 5 CLOSED

@cdauth this happens because of javascript hoisting.
this line:
var window = (window || {});
is interpreted as
var window; window = (window || {});
so you don't get the global window varaible.

you can solve it with some hacking:
imports-loader?window=>global&window.jQuery=>jquery!angular
or
imports-loader?windowTemp=>window&windowTemp.jQuery=>jquery!angular

from imports-loader.

I am using exactly the same expression, but for me the imports-loader additionally inserts the some code into the angular module itself:

/* 5 */
/***/ function(module, exports, __webpack_require__) {

	/*** IMPORTS FROM imports-loader ***/
	var window = (window || {});
	window.jQuery = __webpack_require__(3);

	/**
	 * @license AngularJS v1.6.1
	 * (c) 2010-2016 Google, Inc. http://angularjs.org
	 * License: MIT
	 */
	(function(window) {'use strict';

For some reason though, this window object is broken and for example doesn't contain document. I don't really understand why, I will try to investigate.

You can provide jQuery by adding plugin:

plugins: [
         new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
             $: "jquery",
             jQuery: "jQuery"
         })
]

from imports-loader.

After the release, you can solve this problem like this:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: require.resolve('example.js'),
        use: [
          {
            loader: 'imports-loader',
            options: {
              type: 'commonjs',
              imports: {
                moduleName: 'jquery',
                name: 'jQuery',
              },
              aditionalCode: 'window.jQuery = jQuery';
            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

// Adds the following code to the beginning of example.js:
//
// var jQuery = require("jquery");
// window.jQuery = jQuery

Release will be soon.

@cap-Bernardito thanks for your last comment. There is a little typo in it which you might want to correct. "additionalCode"

Thank you.
