如何在 webpacker rails 6 中使用 chart.js

Question

I installed chart.js with yarn and in application.js I call it with require('chart.js');

Then I have my js file related to one view, where I want to call new Chart for which I get Chart is not defined. So I added it as a global with

global.Chart = require('chart.js')

but then I get Chart is not a constructor. How to correctly import chart.js so Chart will be available in any view? I dont want to put my js code related to chart in application.js, I want to keep it in my separated js files.

thanks

ok with trial error I found a way this is how I need to call it in application.js

require ('chart.js/auto');
import Chart from 'chart.js/auto';
global.Chart = Chart;
