How to use jquery in JavaScript file

Question

I try to use jQuery and I get Reference Error: $ is not defined. I use Visual studio code and I use Code Runner extension to test the code. My question is do I need to use some sort of import statement at the beginning of the code or install some extension or is there some other way to solve this problem?

I have installed jQuery Code Snippest extension. I tried to use import statement but it leads to error message as well.

    var path = 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json';
    $.getJSON(path, data,
    function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
    console.log(data);
    })

script.type='text/javascript';
document.getElementsByTagName('somewhere')[0].appendChild(script);

You should try to explain your answer. I think he doesn't even know that he has to include it. – Elias Jan 23 '19 at 11:36
