Particles.js into Vue component - vue.js

Question

I'm trying to adapt particles.js to a Vue.js component from the example below:
https://codepen.io/MichaelVanDenBerg/pen/WpXGRm
However, when using the code below, I get the following error message in the console:
[Vue warn]: Error in mounted hook: "TypeError: this.particles is not a
function"
How can I fix it in the code below?

The particles.js package does not export anything, but rather it sets window.particlesJS.
To use this package, simply import it in your script, and then invoke particlesJS():
import 'particles.js'
export default {
// ...
methods: {
initParticles() {
window.particlesJS('particles-js', {/* ... */})
}
}
}
