WOW is not a constructor

Question

when I try to require WOW by one of those statements

global.WOW = require('wowjs');
var WOW = require('wowjs');
window.WOW = require('wowjs');

I receive this error

jQuery.Deferred exception: WOW is not a constructor TypeError: WOW is not a constructor

Ya, I think it would be tough to get a `jQuery.Deferred exception` if you didn't have jQuery yet. — takendarkk, Apr 13 '17 at 12:33
`window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery'); var Wow = require('wowjs').default; require('bootstrap-sass'); require('bootstrap-hover-dropdown'); ` this is the statement — Ali Turki, Apr 13 '17 at 12:46

try this one

const WOW = require('wowjs');

window.wow = new WOW.WOW({
    live: false
});

window.wow.init();

the module exports an object, you need to use the WOW constructor in that object. Eg. require('wowjs').WOW

You need to use wow.js instead of wowjs in React

npm install wow.js

and in your code

import WOW from 'wow.js'

useEffect(() => {
    const wow = new WOW({ live: false }) // disables sync requirement
    wow.init()
}, [])
