React - jquery module not found

Question

I have loaded jquery via the npm, and I am trying to import jQuery in App.js of my React app like so:

import $ from 'jquery';

But it says:

Module not found: Can't resolve 'jquery'

Any idea what could be wrong here?

do you need to put something in front of jquery like js/jquery or node-modules/jquery? — CumminUp07

I didn't come up with a solution however doing an nmp install fixed this.

You should install jQuery via npm or yarn.

npm install -S jquery

yarn add jquery

Sorry, this didn't help.

Also note you have to import jquery in every file you plan on using it in.
