jQuery Library Conflict (TamperMonkey)

Hello all! I'm writing a short little script for a website I use frequently using TamperMonkey. I'm coding in jQuery, but the site uses a different library. These two libraries conflict and break some of the site's built-in coding (all my customizations work). I went through this https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/avoid-conflicts-other-libraries/ and it seemed perfect for what I was trying to do, but TamperMonkey insists that jQuery is an undefined function and cannot be used. When I force it to run on the site, it throws a console error as well. This is what I have so far, with the main code snipped since it's not relevent.

// @grant none

/* global jQuery */

jQuery.noConflict();

jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) { ... });

what are you using jQuery for?

Zach..OP12mo ago
The code itself modifies the buttons on the site to stack over one another and disappear on click. The site is a petsim clicker game ^^

but what specifically are you using jquery for? Just the $(css selector) functionality?
Zach..
Zach..OP12mo ago
I can paste the full code if you want it. I didn't think it would be needed :0

most of what jquery was classically used for has been implemented in JS now, so you may not need it at all

I couldn't get it to work in JavaScript classic at ALL. Likely because the selector was more confusing and i was doing it wrong.

so just to pick a random bit:
$("#notice").css({
display: "none",
userSelect: "none"
});
$("#notice").css({
display: "none",
userSelect: "none"
});
can be translated to
const notice = document.querySelector('#notice')
notice.style.display = 'none';
notice.style.userSelect = 'none';
const notice = document.querySelector('#notice')
notice.style.display = 'none';
notice.style.userSelect = 'none';
document.querySelector and document.querySelectorAll are pretty much drop in replacements for $()

Is there no way to resolve a conflict though? I'd rather not translate it all if I can help it I definitely could if theres no way to resolve a conflict easily, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't

hm, you probably can, but I don't personally know how
Zach..
Zach..OP12mo ago
Okay, thanks for letting me know! If I dont have anyone else figure it out I may come back for some help translating it all back to JS from jQuerry

if there's a conflict, is $ just available in the tampermonkey script without including it?
Zach..
Zach..OP12mo ago
I don't think so, it rejects it unless you add /* global $*/
Jochem

hm, then I hope someone else who does know comes along 🙂 sorry I couldn't help
