How do I use a js dependency after I do NPM install?

How do I use a dependency in my javascript after I install it using npm? I just used NPM to install Fuse.js. npm install fuse.js

Then the website says to use the program I just have to add the following code and it will work:

var books = [{
  'ISBN': 'A',
  'title': "Old Man's War",
  'author': 'John Scalzi'
}, {
  'ISBN': 'B',
  'title': 'The Lock Artist',
  'author': 'Steve Hamilton'
}]

var options = {
  keys: ['title', 'author'],
  id: 'ISBN'
}
var fuse = new Fuse(books, options)

fuse.search('old')

But I keep getting console error Fuse is not defined. for the code var fuse = new Fuse(books, options) How do I get fuse defined after I do npm install?

I tried this site from node, and added require('Fuse') but that did not help. I continued to get the same error.

Solution

  • You need to import the Fuse class before you can use it.

    I think you can do that using something like this:

    import Fuse from "fuse.js"
