This file is added ABOVE all other scripts in the HTML
window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');
This file is loaded below app.js (as stated above)
$("body").html('Testing');
File size for this home.js: ~270kb
window.$("body").html('Testing');
Results in below 1kb file size.
The reason? Well if jQuery/$ is not defined, it requires it.. My concern is that it does this, even though its already defined in window.. Seems odd tbh.
