Hello,
i want to create some buttons and a dropdown menu with bootstrap and jquery, but how can i add them to my visual?
cause when add the files to my pbiviz file and run the code, i am getting a bootstrap error that jQuery wasnt found
"Uncaught Error: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery"
my pbiviz looks like this:
"externalJS": [
"node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"src/source/bootstrap.min.js",my tsconfig like this:
"files": [
".api/v1.8.0/PowerBI-visuals.d.ts",
"node_modules/@types/jquery/index.d.ts",
"node_modules/powerbi-visuals-utils-dataviewutils/lib/index.d.ts",
"src/settings.ts",
"src/visual.ts",
"src/javascript.js"how can get it running?
Solved! Go to Solution.
thanks but this didnt work for me. i still got a error after doing that.
I got it working with installing jquery with "typings install --save --global jquery" instead of "npm install @types/jquery@2.0.46 --save"
i just needed to referrenc the .d.ts file inside typings and i got it working.
