Import js file from node_modules in vue-cli app

Question

I've installed this with npm : https://github.com/hchstera/vue-charts

Doing npm install hchs-vue-charts

Which is a package to make charts in my views.

I just want to know how to import this lib from node_modules in a single component in Vuejs with the Vue-cli app ( https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli ) because in their examples they do it with an instance of Vue.

Thank you

Answer 1

In main.js import vue-charts and init the plugin like this:

import VueCharts from 'hchs-vue-charts'

Vue.use(VueCharts)

Answer 2

you must install module in main.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueCharts from 'hchs-vue-charts'

Vue.use(VueCharts)

then use component everywhere in you app, like this:

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <chartjs-line></chartjs-line>
  </div>
</template>

other components in lib:

<chartjs-bar/>
<chartjs-horizontal-bar/>
<chartjs-radar/>
<chartjs-polar-area/>
<chartjs-pie/>
<chartjs-doughnut/>
