meteor app - unable to find query - meteor

Question

In my meteor app I'm using a bootstrap table, which requires query.
I ran "meteor add query", and it is listed in the "packages" file:
# Meteor packages used by this project, one per line.
#
# 'meteor add' and 'meteor remove' will edit this file for you,
# but you can also edit it by hand.
standard-app-packages
autopublish
insecure
reactive-dict
bootstrap
js-base-model
jquery
iron-router
The file (table.js) is located under /lib:
(function(){
'use strict';
var $ = jQuery;
$.fn.extend({
filterTable: function(){
return this.each(function(){
$(this).on('keyup', function(e){
$('.filterTable_no_results').remove();
var $this = $(this), search = $this.val().toLowerCase(), target = $this.attr('data-filters'), $target = $(target), $rows = $target.find('tbody tr');
if(search == '') {
$rows.show();
} else {
$rows.each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
$this.text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ? $this.hide() : $this.show();
})
if($target.find('tbody tr:visible').size() === 0) {
var col_count = $target.find('tr').first().find('td').size();
var no_results = $('<tr class="filterTable_no_results"><td colspan="'+col_count+'">No results found</td></tr>')
$target.find('tbody').append(no_results);
}
}
});
});
}
});
$('[data-action="filter"]').filterTable();
})(jQuery);
$(function(){
// attach table filter plugin to inputs
$('[data-action="filter"]').filterTable();
$('.container').on('click', '.panel-heading span.filter', function(e){
var $this = $(this),
$panel = $this.parents('.panel');
$panel.find('.panel-body').slideToggle();
if($this.css('display') != 'none') {
$panel.find('.panel-body input').focus();
}
});
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip();
})
When I run the meteor command from the app root directory I get the following error:
Eugenes-MacBook-Pro-3:wizard eugene$ meteor

What could I do to resolve this?

Answer 1

jQuery is a client-side only library, you cannot use it on the server side – This error is thrown because jQuery is not defined there. To fix it, limit your code to client-side, either by placing it in /client folder (or /client/lib if you want it to have priority when loading), or by wrapping the code in
if (Meteor.isClient) {
...
}
