How to import web3 utils in front end Javascript

Question

I need to use a web3.utils.soliditySha3 function in my javascript but web3.utils gives:

Cannot read property 'soliditySha3' of undefined

My script can't use .require as well. I tried:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ethereum/[email protected]/dist/web3.min.js"></script>

to no avail. Please help.

On web3.js v0.x, you have:

On web3.js v1.x, you have:

You will therefore need to upgrade from v0.x to v1.x.

@bishopqpalzm: Change 1.0.0-beta.34 to 1.2.6 I suppose.

error in loading web3.min.js: require is not defined. I'm using a Python Flask server instead of npm.

@bishopqpalzm: I'm not familiar with how things work on the front-end side, but your problem is an older version of web3 which does not support soliditySha3 (and doesn't even have the utils module). So you probably want to post a separate question on how to import web3.js v1.2.x on front-end. If you do so, then please consider accepting this answer (if you feel that it has answered your question).
