iView not defined error while trying to import it

Question

I'm trying to import iView UI on my VueJS project with Webpack inside main.js.

import iView from 'iview'

Then:

Vue.use(iView)

And console shows up an error saying

Uncaught ReferenceError: iView is not defined

I added iview plugin by doing npm i iview -D on my project.

Why this isn't working? Any ideas? Maybe some package.json issues? whenever i run npm run dev it compiles everything fine, no errors, no warnings.

Answer 1

Okay, after some hours of attempts, I found out I had two ways of including this lib.

By either doing: import iView from 'iview/dist/iview'

This one would throw a warning about types not defined for this, but if you do it like so:

const iView = require('iview')

It will work like a charm! Hope this helps to anyone who's under the same situation I was.
