Error using jQuery with django: Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

Question

I am trying to use jQuery with my django app but when I use the inspector and look at the .js file in Sources, I am seeing this error. I know this question has come up before, but I haven't been able to figure out how to fix it in my case. This is the HTML for the page I am trying to load:

{% extends 'great_songs_app/base.html' %}
{% load static %}


{% block content %}
<script src="{% static 'great_songs_app/playlist_jquery.js' %}"> 
</script>
--code--
{% endblock %

And this is my base HTML file:

{% load static %}
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
  	<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">
    <link href="https://rsms.me/inter/inter-ui.css" rel="preload" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'great_songs_app/style.css' %}">
  	<title>Great Songs</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">

        <ul class="navbar-nav" id="login-list">  
          {% if user.is_authenticated %}
            <li class="nav-item login">  
              <a class="nav-link" href="{% url 'users:logout' %}" id=login>log out</a>
            </li>  
          {% else %}
            <li class="nav-item login">  
              <a class="nav-link" href="{% url 'users:login' %}" id=login>log in</a>
            </li>
            <li class="nav-item login">  
              <a class="nav-link" href="{% url 'users:register' %}">register</a>
            </li>
          {% endif %}
        </ul>
      </div>
    </nav>

    <div class="container">
    {% block content %}
    {% endblock %}
    </div>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-hwg4gsxgFZhOsEEamdOYGBf13FyQuiTwlAQgxVSNgt4=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

  </body>
</html>

This is my jQuery file:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $(".playlist-row").click(function() {
        window.location = $(this).data("href");
    });
});

jQuery needs to be loaded in the document before your script tries to use it. Try moving your content block below the <script> tags — Phil

I had a similar problem and just I pasted the js files inside head tag.

Here is my base.html Then inside body tag, the {% block content %}{% endblock %}.
