Here is an answer to make datatable.net to work with Vite and VueJs (and its plugins select, RowGroup, Buttons,...)

Before, do yarn create vite.

import for "jquery" and "datatable.net" have to be typed with "jquery" and "datatable.net" and not typed with "min.js". Look at the source of jquery.dataTables.js: it expects some of form of name.

src/main.js

import jQuery from "jquery";
import $ from "jquery";

import DataTable from "datatables.net";
DataTable(window, $);

// 'select ' can be disabled
import select from "datatables.net-select/js/dataTables.select.min.js";
select(window, $);

// 'RowGroup ' can be disabled
import RowGroup from "datatables.net-rowgroup/js/dataTables.rowGroup.min.js";
RowGroup(window, $);


// 'Buttons' can be disabled
import Buttons from "datatables.net-buttons/js/dataTables.buttons.min.js";
Buttons(window, $);

import b1 from "datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.colVis.min.js";
b1(window, $);

import b2 from "datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.print.min.js";
b2(window, $);

import b3 from "datatables.net-buttons/js/buttons.html5.min.js";
b3(window, $);
// end of 'Buttons part

import "datatables.net-css";

import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css";

import { createApp } from "vue";

import "@/style.css";
import App from "@/App.vue";

createApp(App).mount("#app");

vite.config.js

import path from "path";
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
//import { viteCommonjs, esbuildCommonjs } from "@originjs/vite-plugin-commonjs";
import vue from "@vitejs/plugin-vue";


import { createHtmlPlugin } from "vite-plugin-html";

console.log(path.basename(path.resolve(__dirname)));

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  resolve: {
    alias: [
      {
        find: "@",
        replacement: path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
      },
      // not mandatory
      {
        find: "jquery",
        replacement: path.resolve(
          __dirname,
          "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"
        ),
      },
      // not mandatory, only to force min.js
      {
        find: "datatables.net",
        replacement: path.resolve(
          __dirname,
          "node_modules/datatables.net/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"
        ),
      },
      {
        find: "datatables.net-css",
        replacement: path.resolve(
          __dirname,
          "node_modules/datatables.net-dt/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"
        ),
      },
    ],
    extensions: [".mjs", ".js", ".ts", ".jsx", ".tsx", ".json", ".vue"],
  },
  plugins: [
    vue(),
    createHtmlPlugin({
      inject: {
        data: {
          title: "DataTable.net with ViteJS and VueJs",
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
  base: "",
  build: {},
});
