Update jQuery version in Shopware 6

A project I'm working needs a third party javascript snippet which has a dependency on the 'full' jQuery framework. Shopware (/bootstrap 4) currently ships with jQuery out of the box, but is using the Slim (and not full) version of it.

Is there a way to upgrade/change the used jQuery version?

It is possible to actually replace the slim jQuery with the full version.

In MyPlugin/src/Resources/app/storefront/build/webpack.config.js put the following:

const path = require('path');
const projectRootPath = process.env.PROJECT_ROOT
    ? path.resolve(process.env.PROJECT_ROOT)
    : path.resolve('../../../../../../../');

const shopwarePlatformPath = projectRootPath + '/vendor/shopware/platform/';
const nodeModulesPlatformPath = shopwarePlatformPath + '/src/Storefront/Resources/app/storefront/node_modules/';

const shopwarePath = projectRootPath + '/vendor/shopware/';
const nodeModulesPath = shopwarePath + '/storefront/Resources/app/storefront/node_modules/';

let webpack = null;
let fullPath = null;
try {
  require.resolve("webpack");
  webpack = require('webpack');
} catch (e) {
  try {
    require.resolve(nodeModulesPlatformPath + "/webpack");
    webpack = require(nodeModulesPlatformPath + '/webpack');
    fullPath = nodeModulesPlatformPath;
  } catch (e) {
    require.resolve(nodeModulesPath + "/webpack");
    webpack = require(nodeModulesPath + '/webpack');
    fullPath = nodeModulesPath;
  }
}

let webpackConfig = {
  plugins: [
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
      /jquery\.slim/,
      fullPath + 'jquery/dist/jquery'
    ),
    new webpack.NormalModuleReplacementPlugin(
      /jquery\/dist\/jquery\.slim/,
      fullPath + 'jquery/dist/jquery'
    ),
  ],
};
module.exports = function () { return webpackConfig };
