Magento 2 - How to use jQuery in a template?

Question

I tried to use jQuery in a template (app\code\Black\Newsletter2Go\view\frontend\templates\account\dashboard\info.phtml) but I get jQuery is not defined.

Does Magento 2 not use jQuery?

Do I have to add:

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

to the head template?

Answer 1

No need to add jquery in head, You can add like below method in phtml

<script>
    require([
        'jquery'
    ],function($) {
         $(document).ready(function() {
            /* Your logic */
         });  
     });
</script>
