Thanks,

This has been opened since 2017 and still no answer for this. I'm getting same error using the NPM package and requiring....

I managed to resolve this error in this way. If it is useful for someone.

import * as $ from 'jquery'
import dt from 'datatables.net-dt'
$.fn.DataTable = dt

$('#example').DataTable()

xlp

    global.$ = global.jQuery = require('jquery');


    var dt      = require( 'datatables.net' );

This is my solution

thanks @xlp, this is the only solution that worked.

The worst documentation ever did it again. Everything datatables related is always a huge fight, especially since the documentation is always incorrect.

For a totally clean application this worked:
global.$ = global.jQuery = require('jquery');
var dt = require( 'datatables.net' );

the documentation is always incorrect.

Please provide examples of incorrect documentation.
