DataTables.net with webpack

jquery-datatables-webpack

Here's how to make jQuery DataTables work with npm and webpack. This is the simplest way I found to do it.
See the previous revision of this gist for a way to do it with forcing AMD to be disabled if you need that.

Install DT core: npm install datatables.net
Install a DT style: npm install datatables.net-dt

Then to initialize DT in your app, do this in your main entry point:

// you can use import or require
import dt from 'datatables.net';
import 'datatables.net-dt/css/jquery.datatables.css';

Now you can use .DataTable():
$('table[data-table]').DataTable(); // or whatever you want

Thank you Marcstober, and also Valsdav for pointing out the thing with uppercase T in dataTable.
