vue-croppa as component abnormal behavior, Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined

Question

I am trying to use vue-croppa for image cropping and I installed it using npm as follows:

npm install --save vue-croppa

But when I use it as I normally would:

import Croppa from 'vue-croppa'
export default {
  components: {
    Croppa
  }
}

I get error:

[Vue warn]: Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined.

Instead I have to do this:

import Croppa from 'vue-croppa'
export default {
  components: {
    Croppa.component
  }
}

What could be wrong?

Look at the manual. It is not a component, but a plugin. You have to Vue.use it
