Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'bootstrap'

[surgetom]

Hi Guys, for the life of me I cant seem to resolve this issue.

Set up:
Im using laravel-mix which uses Webpack to compile my JS files. So far in my project I haven't had any issues with including (require('PACK NAME HERE')) packages.

But when i require('bootstrap3-wysihtml5-npm'). I keep getting this error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/bootstrap3-wysihtml5-npm/dist/bootstrap3-wysihtml5.min.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'bootstrap' in '......../node_modules/bootstrap3-wysihtml5-npm/dist'

At first I though it maybe to do with the order in which my packages were being require but that didn't seem to be the issue.

just as a reference, below is the order on the required packages file.

require('jquery') require('bootstrap-sass'); require('bootstrap3-wysihtml5-npm');

Also I have tried exchanging require('bootstrap-sass'); for
require('./bootstrap'); "required locally, outside node_modules
and
require('bootstrap') "version 3".

But none of them helped

Hope you can help
Thanks
Tom
