I am trying to create and edit function to update notes by user (in a REACT project), using bootstrap modals, but here is the error I get
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: jquery__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1___default()(...).modal is not a function
updateNote Notes.js:16
onClick NoteItem.js:15
React 23
js index.js:6
factory react refresh:6
Webpack 3
__webpack_require__

I tried going through some posts on the forum like including jquery library before bootstrap, but it didn't work.
Here is my code:
import React,{ useContext,useEffect,useRef } from "react";
import $ from 'jquery'
import 'bootstrap';
import noteContext from "../context/notes/NoteContext"
import AddNote from "./AddNote";
import NoteItem from "./NoteItem";
export const Notes=() => {
const context=useContext(noteContext)
const { notes,getNotes }=context
useEffect(() => {
getNotes()
// eslint-disable-next-line
},[])
const ref=useRef(null)
const updateNote=async (note) => {
console.log("working")
$(ref).modal('toggle')
}
return (
<>
<AddNote />
<button ref={ref} type="button" className="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">
Launch demo modal
</button>
<div className="modal fade" id="exampleModal" tabIndex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div className="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div className="modal-content">
<div className="modal-header">
<h5 className="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Edit Note</h5>
<button type="button" className="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div className="modal-body">
...
</div>
<div className="modal-footer">
<button type="button" className="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" className="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div className="row my-3">
<h1>Your Notes</h1>
{notes.map((note) => {
return <NoteItem key={note._id} updateNote={updateNote} note={note} />
})}
</div>
</>
)
}
Also here is my index.html (I removed the jquery link as it wasn't working):

What am I missing?
I found another post which had a similar issue (React Error : __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_4_jquery___default(...)(...).modal is not a function) importing bootstrap didn't work either because It had dependency issue with @popperjs/core which i installed but then got more errors:
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './modifiers/index.js' in '/home/alien/codes/webDev/react/inotebook/node_modules/@popperjs/core/lib'
[0] ERROR in ./node_modules/@popperjs/core/lib/index.js 2:0-37
[0] Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './modifiers/index.js' in '/home/alien/codes/webDev/react/inotebook/node_modules/@popperjs/core/lib'

[0] webpack compiled with 2 errors
then I didn't find anything to solve it, let me know if this method was relevant or not or if there is anything else i need to add to this
Just to give a better idea here is the tutorial i am following: https://youtu.be/J5hGX5_XZDk . it is quite old so there must be an update in syntax in newer versions, which i am not sure of, so let me know if there is something that needs to change. And before you ask, initially i followed this tutorial by every word, but then i had to go through official bootstrap documentation to remove some errors which made the app crash, so is there something else that i need to change too?
updated code:
import React,{ useContext,useEffect,useRef } from "react";
import noteContext from "../context/notes/NoteContext"
import AddNote from "./AddNote";
import NoteItem from "./NoteItem";
export const Notes=() => {
const context=useContext(noteContext)
const { notes,getNotes }=context
useEffect(() => {
getNotes()
// eslint-disable-next-line
},[])
const ref=useRef(null)
const updateNote=async (note) => {
console.log("working")
ref.current.click()
}
return (
<>
<AddNote />
<button ref={ref} type="button" className="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal">

Bootstrap V5 has many breaking changes. One of them is the removal of jquery.
This is how bootstrap 5 would toggle a modal using javascript.
var myModal = new bootstrap.Modal(document.getElementById('myModal'), {
keyboard: false
});
myModal.toggle();
You can also show/hide modal with the data attributes. But its different from whats done in Bootsrap 4. They have namespaced the attributes to data-bs-* (from data-*)
Look at the documentation here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/modal/#live-demo
You code uses data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" but the example shows data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal".
Also data-dismissdata-bs-dismiss
