Error in console with Vue-chartJS and Webpack - npm

I installed vue-chartjs and also added chart.js both using NPM
When I run npm start my server is started but in broswer console i get an error
TypeError: __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0_vue_chartjs__.Doughnut.extend is not a function
I'm not sure what this mean. I reinstalled all packages also installed this packages separete using npm install vue-chartjs

Can you show your code of your component? Webpack 3 ?
With vue-chartjs version 3 you have to create your components this way:
import {Doughnut} from 'vue-chartjs
export default {
extends: Doughnut,
mounted () {
this.renderChart(data, options)
}
}

How does one import an npm module into a Vue.js application?

I would like to import pdf-lib into my vue.js application.
Installed using npm
npm install --save pdf-lib
Imported into my component like this,
import _ from "#pdf-lib";
export default {
data() {
I get the following error message,
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'pdf-lib' in

Runtime Error integrating a component lib that uses #vue/composition-api: 'You must use this function within the "setup()" method'

Any help with the following problem would be greatly appreciated!
Situation:
My project contains two packages:
child-component-lib
contains a single view About.vue written in composition-API-style (with vue2 helper libraries #vue/composition-api and vuex-composition-helpers)
exports a single RouteConfig
build as a lib
views/About.vue (child)
<template>
<div class="about">
<h1>This is an about page (as component lib)</h1>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { defineComponent } from "#vue/composition-api";
import { createNamespacedHelpers } from "vuex-composition-helpers";
export default defineComponent({
components: {},
setup(_, { root }) {
const { useGetters, useActions } = createNamespacedHelpers("account"); // error thrown here!
}
});
</script>
router/index.ts (child)
export const routes: Array<RouteConfig> = [{
path: "/",
name: "About",
component: () => import(/* webpackChunkName: "about" */ "../views/About.vue")
}];
lib.ts (child)
export const routes = require("#/router").routes;
package.json (child)
"scripts": {
"build": "vue-cli-service build --target lib --name child-component-lib src/lib.ts"
...
parent-app
imports the route from child-component-lib into its router
contains a simple view that displays one line of text and a <router-view />
package.json (parent)
"dependencies": {
"#tholst/child-component-lib": "file:../child-component-lib",
router/index.ts (parent)
import { routes as childComponentRoutes } from "#tholst/child-component-lib";
const routes: Array<RouteConfig> = [...childComponentRoutes];
const router = new VueRouter({routes});
export default router;
App.vue (parent)
<template>
<div id="app">
<Home />
<router-view />
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { defineComponent } from "#vue/composition-api";
import Home from "#/views/Home.vue";
export default defineComponent({
components: {
Home
},
setup(_, { root }) {
...
}
});
</script>
Expected behavior
It works without problems.
Actual behavior
I see an error output in the console. [Vue warn]: Error in data(): "Error: You must use this function within the "setup()" method, or insert the store as first argument." The error message is misleading, because the error is actually thrown inside setup() method. It can be traced back to getCurrentInstance() returning undefined (inside #vue/composition-api).
Investigation:
It turns out that the error disappears when I include the same About.vue in the parent-app itself (just switch the route, to try it out), i.e., it works when we avoid the import from the built library.
So it looks like it's a problem with the build setup
(one of vue.config.js, webpack, babel, typescript, ...)
Reproduce the error:
1. Clone, install, run
git clone git#github.com:tholst/vue-composition-api-comp-lib.git && cd vue-composition-api-comp-lib/child-component-lib && npm install && npm run build && cd ../parent-app/ && npm install && npm run serve
or one by one
git clone git#github.com:tholst/vue-composition-api-comp-lib.git
cd vue-composition-api-comp-lib/child-component-lib
npm install
npm run build
cd ../parent-app/
npm install
npm run serve
2. Open Browser
Go to http://localhost:8080/
3. Open Dev Tools to See Error

I finally understood what the problems were. First, there was the actual problem. Second, there was a problem in the local development setup that made solutions to the actual problem look like they were not working.
The Actual Problem + Solution
The child-component-lib was bundling their own versions of the npm packages #vue/composition-api and vuex-composition-helpers. This had the following effect: When I was running the parent-app there were actually two instances of those libraries and the vue component from the child-component-lib was accessing the wrong object that had not been properly initialized.
The solution was to prevent the bundling of those libraries in the child-component-lib, by
making them devDependencies and peerDependencies.
instructing webpack not to bundle them on npm run build.
package.json
"dependencies": {
...
},
"devDependencies": {
"#vue/composition-api": "^1.0.0-beta.19",
"vuex-composition-helpers": "^1.0.21",
...
},
"peerDependencies": {
"#vue/composition-api": "^1.0.0-beta.19",
"vuex-composition-helpers": "^1.0.21"
},
vue.config.js
configureWebpack: {
externals: {
"#vue/composition-api": "#vue/composition-api",
"vuex-composition-helpers": "vuex-composition-helpers"
},
...
}
The Tricky Problem that Made Things Difficult
I was trying to fix this problem locally, without actually publishing the package. And it seemed to work, because I was seeing the same problem locally that I also saw in the published packages.
I did local development by directly linking the parent-app and child-component-libs. I tried both
a direct folder dependency
package.json
"dependencies": {
"#tholst/child-component-lib": "file:../child-component-lib",
},
npm link
cd child-component-lib
npm link
cd ../parent-app
npm link #tholst/child-component-lib
Both approaches have the effect that they actually import (=symlink to) the child-component-lib's folder with all files and folders (instead of only the files that would be published in the npm package).
And that meant the following: Even though I had excluded the two composition-API libs from the bundle and made them dev/peer dependencies (see solution to actual problem), they were still installed and present in the child-component-lib's node_modules. And that node_modules folder was symlinked into the parent-app package. And in this way the child-component-lib still had access to their own copy of the libraries that we wanted to exclude from the build (see actual problem). And I was still seeing the error as before.
And this way my local development approach obscured the fact that the solution to the actual problem was actually working.

vuetify says that This dependency was not found

I got an error when building a vue-cli app with vuetify framework.
This dependency was not found:
* vuetify/es5/components/VCardTitle in ./src/plugins/vuetify.js
To install it, you can run: npm install --save vuetify/es5/components/VCardTitle
When I try to install it it says:
error Received malformed response from registry for undefined. The registry may be down.
Any ideas what it could be?
package json: "vuetify": "^1.1.12"
Im using vuetify a-la-carte.
I have also added VCardTitle to the vuetify.js file in imports and components.
You're importing from 'vuetify' as it is in Vue Official Documentation example (https://v1.vuetifyjs.com/en/guides/a-la-carte).
Change it to 'vuetify/lib'.
Example:
import {
Vuetify, // required
VApp, // required
VNavigationDrawer,
VFooter,
VToolbar,
transitions,
} from 'vuetify/lib';

VueJS use NPM Component in Browser using Browserify

I have a custom component in my page, defined as:
Vue.component('payment-page', {
template: '#payment-template',
data: function () {
return {
...
}
},
components: {
DatePicker
},
});
Now, in this component, I need to use a datepicker/daterange picker, of which I found this to be most helpful. It can be installed from NPM using npm install vue2-datepicker --save. I am using browserify so as to be able to use the datepicker in the browser, inside my component above.
For browserify, inside my main.js file I have this:
let DatePicker = require('vue2-datepicker');
then I use the command browserify main.js -o bundle.js to create my bundle.js file which I then import in my HTML file.
Problem is I always get the error Uncaught ReferenceError: DatePicker is not defined. Anything I'm doing wrong?

Import a node module in Vue.js CLI instance

I've created a new vue app using vue init webpack sample-app .
I'm trying to import this module (https://docs.botui.org/install.html) into my app.vue and make it show on.
What's the correct way to import this module into a Vue.JS app?
Open the terminal in your project root folder, then install the package:
npm install botui --save
Then open src/main.js in your text editor and add this:
import Vue from 'vue'
import BotUI from 'botui'
const botui = BotUI('my-botui-app', {
vue: Vue // pass the dependency.
})
This will create a botui instance. But that instance won't have any messages in it. You can check that it's working by adding a message:
botui.message.bot('Hello, how can I help?')
