The vue-chartjs/src entry point is still creating a new vue instance.

[gwilakers]

Expected Behavior

As per the docs, this entry point is not supposed to load vue.common.js.

Actual Behavior

Even when using this entry point, vue.common.js is loaded a second time.

Currently importing the package like this:

import { Line } from 'vue-chartjs/src'

Is there additional configuration that needs to be done within my webpack config? I didn't see anything in the docs for this.

Any more information I can provide that would help out just let me know, but my code is not much different from the example code as I was just starting out with this and noticed the second instance.

Environment

• vue.js version: 2.2.1
• vue-chart.js version: 2.4.1
• npm version: 3.10.10

What webpack version are you using?

As you can see in the package.json the main entry is the bundled umd file.

And a transpiled ES module file is set as jsnext:main and module. Which is actually transpiled to be runable, expect that is has import and export statements. So that if you're using rollup / webpack2 you have proper tree-shaking.

If you're using webpack 2, it should automatically load the es module, as it supports the jsnext:main and module .

Webpack 1 does not support this as far as I know. So you have to import the file manually or set an alias.

import { Line } from 'vue-chartjs/es'

You can also import from the src however you need to know what you're doing then, because then you are importing untranspiled files.

Ah sorry, I had thought I included my Webpack version in the initial comment. I am using Webpack 2.2.1.

I am going to run through my configs again at some point today and I will update you on what I figure out. Thanks for the quick response!

Are you using a custom config or the vue init scaffold ?

[gwilakers]

I am using a custom config.

[apertureless]

Can you post your webpack.config or even better, provide a minimal repo for reproduction ?

Any updates on this @gwilakers ?
