TypeError: $(...).sideNav is not a function

Question

I am trying to use Materialize theme to make a side bar in JSF with Spring. And I imported the Materialize's js and css, but it comes out an error TypeError: $(...).sideNav is not a function. I don't know why, and I tried in a normal HTML file, and it works.

What is the reason that I get this error and how to fix it?

The structure of the page:

<h:head>
<title><h:outputText value="#{msg.title}" /></title>

   <!-- Import Materialize css -->
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="./themes/materialize/css/materialize.min.css"/>

 <!-- Compiled and minified JavaScript -->
 <script src="./themes/materialize/js/materialize.min.js"></script>
<script src="./themes/materialize/js/materialize.js"></script>
 <!--Import jQuery before materialize.js-->
 <script type="text/javascript" src="./js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script>


  (function($){
  $(function(){

      $('.button-collapse').sideNav('show');

  }); // end of document ready
})(jQuery); // end of jQuery name space
</script>

</h:head>

  <h:body onload="init();">


<!--<table id="Table_01" class="Table_01">-->
<table id="WholeFunctionPageLayoutTable" cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" width="100%"
        border="0px">

        <tr id="WholeFunctionPageWidthSpacer" >



            <td>
            <!--<table class="Table_SASC_03">-->
                <table cellspacing="0px" cellpadding="0px" style="margin-left:0px; padding-left:0px;" border="0px">
                    <tr valign="top">
                        <td>
                            <ui:include src="MenuTemplate.xhtml" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>                                                                       
                </table>
            </td>
            <!-- End Page Left Menu Navigation Section -->

        </tr>

 </table>
 </h:body>

</html>

The JSF file menuTemplate.xhtml that trying to make a side bar.

<ui:composition>

<ul id="slide-out" class="side-nav">
   <li><div class="userView">
      <div class="background">

 </ui:composition>

The error message:

Answer 1

.sideNav() has been renamed .sidenav() in v1.0.0 see https://materializecss.com/sidenav.html

Answer 2

For .sideNav() to work, MaterializeCSS v1.0.0 is not compatible with jQuery v3 or v2, So you have to use older version of MaterializeCSS. Try 0.x.x: it worked for me!

eg:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.100.2/css/materialize.min.css">

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/0.100.2/js/materialize.min.js"></script>

Answer 3

The order of loading is important, as stated above. JQuery 3.3.1 works with Materialize 1.0.0:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0/js/materialize.min.js"></script>

Answer 4

Materialize is compatible with jQuery3. You just have to load jQuery first before you load materialize.min.js.
