user-authentication.js - $.ajax is undefined

[Nitin Gautam]

I am trying to call using ajax login API but it is erroring as undefined for $

I believe $ defintion is missing and I need Jquery to install but in many of areas in code it is working without that how that working?

Hi,

As you've mentioned user-authentication.js, I assume you are creating a custom authentication module as described here: http://nodered.org/docs/security#custom-user-authentication

That module runs in the node.js runtime, not in the browser. If you really want to use jQuery in there, you can npm install it: https://www.npmjs.com/package/jQuery and require it into your module - see the examples from the jQuery module page.

I Nick thanks for reply I have installed jQuery and jquery both + jsdom. But getting error for

TypeError: require(...).jsdom(...).createWindow is not a function

so trying now what I am missing seems jsdom is not being identified properly, so let me search what is wrong.

fixed by using below

require("jsdom").env("", function(err, window) {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        return;
    }
   
     $ = require("jquery")(window);
});
