Node: Bootstrap's JavaScript requires jQuery - node.js

Question

I am going through the Manning Getting MEAN book. I want to use bootstrap sass and have loaded bootstrap-loader. When I run nodemon I get the following error:
/Users/mglaz/Projects/mean/theCMF/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js:8
throw new Error('Bootstrap\'s JavaScript requires jQuery')
here's my app.js
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
require('jquery');
require('bootstrap');
require('bootstrap-loader');
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
var app = express();
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'pug');
// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(__dirname + '/public/favicon.ico'));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
var err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
next(err);
});
// error handlers
// development error handler
// will print stacktrace
if (app.get('env') === 'development') {
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: err
});
});
}
// production error handler
// no stacktraces leaked to user
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error', {
message: err.message,
error: {}
});
});
module.exports = app;
and my package.json

Have a look at jQuery not define in bootstrap module and http://blog.npmjs.org/post/112064849860/using-jquery-plugins-with-npm
You need to set the global jQuery variable
global.jQuery = require('jquery');
require('bootstrap');
