Use two variables for require package in JavaScript

Question

What is the best way to include two variables for a single package that is required in JavaScript?

I have an example here:

$ = require('jquery');

At the moment I simply use $ however some of my project uses jQuery which I cannot change.

$, jQuery = require('jquery');

However this did not work which was expected to be honest.

This works however it isn't ideal as it will be requiring the package twice wont it?

$ = require('jquery');
jQuery = require('jquery');

Thanks

Can you explain the context of this? If jQuery is a global variable then why require it? — Aron

Why not using IIFE? (function ($) { /* jquery code here */ }(jQuery)) — user7739271
