Unable to initalise bootstrap-multiselect in npm

[MiguelAngelRG]

Hi there,

I'm having issues on intalising the bootstrap-multiselect module in my web application. I am getting the following 'stacktrace'.

bootstrap-multiselect.js:1416
}(window.jQuery);
^
ReferenceError: window is not defined

I was able to get it working this way

var $ = require('jquery');
var multiselect = require('bootstrap-multiselect');
$.multiselect = multiselect;

$("#example").multiselect();

Will add this to the FAQ.

Can't resolve 'knockout' in '...node_modules\bootstrap-multiselect\dist\js' not found

Seconding @UseMuse. Anyone else have a solution? Potentially using 'import' syntax?

Solution by @thadclay does not work, require fails. #1278 enables assigning jQuery to globalThis so that bootstrap-multiselect can find it defined
