Getting error after successfully installiong axios vue plugin

so I wanted to add Axios to a Vue project. I did that by issuing vue add axios. It told me, the installation was successful but then I somehow get 5 errors. I don't fully get why it tells me it was installed when it seems there are still some jobs going on and more important: What is this error about??

I guess that it actually installed Axios but it wasn't able to generate that default code it usually adds? Is that bad? Why does it add code? Why can't I just use it as kind of a dependency manager?

    $ vue add axios

Solution

I'm guessing, that you created a project and you are using eslint (Linter / Formatter) in it. This is a typical error from it. Just open to the src/plugins/axios.js File and get rid of the options variable on line 42. From:

Plugin.install = function(Vue, options) {

to:

Plugin.install = function(Vue) {

this should solve your problem and won't have any consequences. You're not using that variable anyway.

Axios was like it says successfully installed. After the installation a file is added to your project so you can use it for global request. The last version of this file was updated 2 years ago vue-cli-plugin-axios.

If you just want to add axios to your project as a dependency use npm install axios and then import it manually as always import axios from 'axios';
