$(…).swMegamenu is not a function [closed]

Question

I'm using Smartwave Porto theme for my Magento 2 website, when I load my website for the first time in browser console it shows no error at all, but every time I refresh the browser page by pressing F5 or CTRL+SHIFT+R, it will show an error like this in browser console and my page not load properly because of this:

Answer 1

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).swMegamenu is not a function
Uncaught TypeError: $(...).stellar is not a function
Uncaught TypeError: $(...).owlCarousel is not a function
Uncaught TypeError: $.widget is not a function

If you suffer the same, do this:

create a requirejs-config.js in the root of the child theme

app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child and put in the following:

 var config = {
    shim: {
        jquery: {
            exports: '$'
        },
        'Smartwave_Megamenu/js/sw_megamenu':
            {
                deps: ['jquery']
            }, 
        'owl.carousel/owl.carousel.min':
            {
                deps: ['jquery']
            },
        'js/jquery.stellar.min': 
            {
            deps: ['jquery']
            },
        'js/jquery.parallax.min':
            {
            deps: ['jquery']
            }
    }
};

And change the entries:

    <script src="jquery.js" />
    <script src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js" />
    <script src="fancybox/js/jquery.fancybox.js" />

To:

    <remove src="jquery.js" />
    <remove src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js" />
    <remove src="fancybox/js/jquery.fancybox.js" />

Within file:

app/design/frontend/Smartwave/porto_child/Magento_Theme/layout/default_head_blocks.xml

No more need for merging javascripts, no more javascript errors! I have no need for the fancybox, turned it off, but if you do require it, I guess it should be included in the requirejs as well.
