Connecting third-party libraries to the project?

Question

JavaScript

I do not understand the essence of connecting third-party libraries to my project.
For example, I want to install jQuery. I'm importing npm i jquery --save. Ok, the node_modules folder has been created, in which there are a bunch of other folders, among which, if we try, we will find the jquery folder, which has a lot of source files. So, what is next? How to connect it, let's say, to the made-up page? How do you do this for example?

Answer 1

You need to connect to a file that will be further processed by a collector, such as webpack or similar

Answer 2

import $ from 'jquery';
//или
require('jquery');
