When is it required to use require rather than module/import with npm libraries?

[justin808]

I get this error when loading jQuery:

CommentBox.jsx:25 imported module '$' exported a function - this may not work as expected

Here's how I'm loading the modules:

module React from 'react';
import { CommentBox } from './CommentBox';
var $ = require('jquery');

I'm also curious as to why React supports "module", but jQuery does not.

Which jquery library and version are you using? Installed via npm https://www.npmjs.org/package/jquery ?

Yes, I'm using the one from package.json: https://github.com/justin808/react-tutorial-hot/blob/support-rails-integration/package.json

Please take a look at: https://github.com/justin808/react-tutorial-hot/blob/support-rails-integration/scripts/example.jsx

and

Sometimes module worked. Other times it didn't.
