How to import PIxi.js in Meteor?

Question

I have a simple app just for testing Meteor and Pixi.js.

My main.jsx (the only script file):

import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import React from 'react';
import {render} from 'react-dom';
import PIXI from 'pixi.js';



Meteor.startup(()=>{
  render(
    <p>zdzdzd</p>,
    document.getElementById('container')
  );
});

But have an error when importing PIXI

graceful-fs.js:157 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

What is the correct way to import it?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how you've installed your pixi package, but here are few options to get it working:

1) Via the npm pixi package (older now deprecated version):

a) Install it: meteor npm install --save pixi

b) Reference it as:

import pixi from 'pixi';
console.log(pixi);

2) Including a copy of the pixi.js file with your app (approach to use with the newest version of pixi):

a) Download a copy of the pixi.js file located on their github releases page .

b) Store the pixi.js file in your apps /client/compatibility directory.

c) Reference it as:

console.log(PIXI);

Answer 2

Actually it should be import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';

pixi.js just exports all the functions in the PIXI library directly.
