Vuetify blank display using the Edge browser - vue.js

My VueJS (v2.6.12) application (setup with vuecli) using vuetify v2.0.7 is running smoothly in Firefox/Chrome in local as well as when the application is built and deployed.
When accessing the web application in local using the Edge browser (v44.19041.423.0) it works fine too.
The issue is when I access the application once it is built and deployed + using the Edge browser, I get this error in the console and the display is completely blank:
SCRIPT5022: SCRIPT5022: Expected identifier, string or number
From reading different posts here as well as in the vuetify documentation here:
https://vuetifyjs.com/en/getting-started/browser-support/#vue-cli
I added the transpileDependencies: ['vuetify'] in my vue.config.ts
I am also using these imports for polyfills/compatibility in my main.ts file:
import 'core-js/stable'
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime'
import vuetify from './plugins/vuetify'
None of these solutions resolves the blank display issue while using Edge.
Also one thing to note is that the application displays fine using the "Edge Insider" browser.
Since Edge works fine in local dev environment I suspect I might be missing a configuration related to the build process maybe?
Any insights appreciated :)

Here is what solved my display issue on Edge:
Add "regenerator-runtime": "^0.13.7" dependency in package.json
Add "core-js": "^3.6.0" dependency in package.json
Make sure these 2 lines are at the top of main.ts:
import 'core-js/stable'
import 'regenerator-runtime/runtime'
Add #babel/preset-env in babel.config.ts like so:
module.exports = {
presets: [['#babel/preset-env'], ['#vue/app', { useBuiltIns: 'entry' }]]
}

Vue not working in IE11 despite Babel Polyfill

unfortunately, my most recent application is required to support Internet Explorer 11. This requirement came somewhat suprising to me, so I already built the applications frontend with Vue.js. The backend is written in Laravel, therefore I use laravel-mix/webpack.
This is my app.js:
require('./bootstrap');
window.Vue = require('vue');
Obviously, IE11 doesn't support Vue.js so I tried the following ways of transpiling/polyfilling the code.
1. requiring polyfill
Approach: Adding require("#babel/polyfill"); to the top of my app.js as described in https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-polyfill
Result: Following Error Message shown in IE console:
SCRIPT1003: ':' expected
Clearly a compatibility issue, since pre data(){} is invalid in ES < 5
2. using mix.babel
Approach: Adding mix.babel(['resources/js/app.js'], 'resources/js/app.js') to my webpack.mix.js as described in https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/mix (I am using laravel 5.8.36). My webpack.mix.js now looks like this:
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js/app.js')
mix.babel(['resources/js/app.js'], 'resources/js/app.js')
mix.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
Result: Same Error Message as in 1
3. using an mix extension
Approach: Installing this extension: https://laravel-mix.com/extensions/polyfill and configure my webpack.mix.js as described. My webpack.mix.js now looks like this:
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
require('laravel-mix-polyfill');
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js/app.js')
mix.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
mix.polyfill({
enabled: true,
useBuiltIns: "usage",
targets: {"firefox": "50", "ie": "11"}
})
Result: Again, the same Error Message as in 1
4. manually transpiling with babel-cli
Approach: Merely out of desperation I tried to manually transpile my app.js with the following command ./node_modules/.bin/babel ./public/js/app.js --out-dir ./public/js/
Result: Stil no luck, same error as in 1
I am really starting to get frustrated, so any help is much appreciated.
If you can't get Babel-Polyfill to work, you could try using Polyfill.io, which automatically polyfills the selected Polyfills if the browser requires them.
All you need to do is go the Create a polyfill bundle page, and select the polyfills you need. Then once you've made your bundle, copy the URL at the top and add a <script> tag with said URL to your head.
I personally haven't used it with Laravel, but I've previously fought with babel-polyfill myself, and ended up using Polyfill.io since i couldn't get babel-polyfill to work.

Can't add directive as plugin in Nuxt application

I'm trying to incorporate the Ripple package into my Nuxt application.
Following Nuxt docs and the package docs example I have a ripple.js file in plugins/ directory containing this:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Ripple from 'vue-ripple-directive'
Vue.directive('ripple', Ripple)
Then in nuxt.config.js I have:
plugins: [
'~/plugins/ripple.js'
],
But now the app doesn't work at all, with some Unexpected token export error message on the screen, and a "Missing stack frames" error message in vm.js.
I have no idea what that means nor what I'm doing wrong, any suggestion?
This is due to an SSR error, where vue-ripple-directive cannot be used on the server. In order to get around this, you need to instruct Nuxt to only load the plugin on the client side.
To fix this, do the following 2 things:
First, rename ripple.js to ripple.client.js.
Second, update the plugins array to the following:
plugins: [
'~/plugins/ripple.client.js'
]
The .client postfix signals to nuxt to only run the plugin on the client.
More information can be found here
Always keep this method in mind when adding Vue plugins, especially when they interact with the DOM in some way. Most that I've come across require this method to function without errors, as the DOM is unavailable on the server.

How to make a vuejs application work with IE 11 when using feathersjs

When creating a standard vue app (using vue-cli v3.0) and including #feathersjs/feathers in order to implement a connection with a feathers API, I get an error with Internet Explorer 11 (SCRIPT1010: Expected identifier)
The bottom line is to find an easy way to solve issues like this, because on bigger projects one could easily find lots of library issues and sometimes is necessary to support at least one version of Internet Explorer (at least from the business point of view)
I read on feathers site (https://docs.feathersjs.com/api/client.html#module-loaders) that the library uses ES6 so in this case it must be transpiled in order to work in a browser like IE11.
So I tried this but had no luck at all:
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
baseUrl: '/',
transpileDependencies: [
'#feathers/commons',
'#feathers/errors',
'#feathers/feathers',
'debug'
]
}
and got errors even in chrome: Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined
I created a project to show this error: https://github.com/riescorp/vue-internet-explorer
One should be able to use IE11 for this app, even if it doesn't work fast or looks nice, but works.
I believe the process should be the same as following the directions on the Vuetify website in the section of this page titled "IE11 & Safari 9 support" (scroll to the bottom): https://vuetifyjs.com/en/getting-started/quick-start
I've not had to do anything else in my projects, that I can remember.
I finally manage to solve this issue.
This is the babel.config.js config that does the trick:
module.exports = {
presets: ['#vue/app'],
plugins: ['#babel/transform-modules-commonjs']
}
Also there was a typo in my vue.config.js it should look like this:
// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
baseUrl: '/',
transpileDependencies: [
'#feathersjs',
'debug'
]
}
Finally, when using feathers this line wouldn't work:
.configure(restClient.fetch(window.fetch))
so you can use import 'whatwg-fetch' to solve it (remember to install it npm i whatwg-fetch)

Nuxt error : Unknown custom element

I am using nuxt js. I am trying to install a vue package vue-zoom. Actually few more plugins.
{ src: '~/plugins/zoom', ssr: false },
Here I kept ssr false because it gives errors like document is not defined...
In my plugins/zoom.js file I have this
import Vue from 'vue';
import vZoom from 'vue-zoom'
Vue.use(vZoom);
Now when I am trying to use this plugin like this
<v-zoom :img="`/uploads/${displayImg}`" ></v-zoom>
It gives me the above error.
Any reason or thought how can I use this plugin or similar in nuxt js?
I tried few more all gives similar errors.
Thank you
I got the same error when having the buildDir set to my functions/.nuxt folder, which I was using for SSR via Firebase Functions. I was able to solve the issue by making sure neither nuxt nor vue was installed in the node_modules inside the functions folder.
Are you using a similar setup by chance?

After bundling my aurelia app I get a: No PLATFORM.Loader error

After bundling a simple aurelia application with jspm bundle-sfx I get the following error:
No PLATFORM.Loader is defined and there is neither a System API (ES6) or a Require API (AMD) globally available to load your app.
An example application: https://github.com/Baudin999/jspm-bundling-test
You can use: npm run setup:dev in a non windows env to switch back to the dev settings (which is just a comment/uncomment in the ./src/client/index.html) and you can use npm run setup:prod to switch back to the production environment, bundling will automatically be triggered. all other scripts can be found in the package.json.
I can't link to other questions because I haven't found any questions which relate to this problem. I "think" (which means absolutely nothing) that this might be related to the fact that aurelia needs a full loader even when bundling with bundle-sfx but I haven't found any ways to solve the error.
EDIT (25/01/2017 17:16): I've found out that the error is because I import the aurelia-bootstrapper.
As soon as I add: import * as bootstrapper from 'aurelia-bootstrapper'; I get the error
Please add the code how do you bootstrap your aurelia app.
There is nothing actually to import from bootstrapper apart from bootstrap function.
Which you would use in case of custom manual bootstrapping.
like in
import { bootstrap } from 'aurelia-bootstrapper'
const configure: (au: Aurelia) => {} = async function (au: Aurelia) {
au.use
.standardConfiguration();
await au.start()
au.setRoot() // or au.enchance()
})
bootstrap(configure)
in a happy path scenario with jspm - you System.import('aurelia-bootstrapper')
and it takes over finding the root node of your app and the script to configure Aurelia (main by default)
Have a look at Bootstrapping Aurelia in the docs
Oh.. and bundle-sfx is not supported there are other means to bundle aurelia apps using jspm
