Cant find Jquery in Ionic app

[lloydrhodes87]

Im trying to integrate with an ionic 3 app and im having a problem with timekit finding jquery.

ERROR ReferenceError: $ is not defined

at the moment im using timekit booking via npm and jquery as a script tag in the html file...

I've been looking into a solution for importing jqery with npm but not sure how a node module will be able to find the $ variable if i just import it into the component.

What im doing with the script tag is working on serve in the browser but the error comes from using a device.

Any ideas?
