Imagekit SDK and NuxtJS: How to import SDK correctly?

I am using the Imagekit VueJS SDK and have created a plugin file for it:

vueimagekit.js in /plugins folder.

import ImageKit from "imagekitio-vue"

Vue.use(ImageKit, {
  urlEndpoint: "your_url_endpoint", // Required. Default URL-endpoint is https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id
  publicKey: "your_public_api_key", // optional
  authenticationEndpoint: "https://www.your-server.com/auth" // optional
  // transformationPosition: "path" // optional
})

I also attached it to the plugins: [ '~/plugins/vueimagekit.js'] area of nuxt.config.js. And my code template is using it like so:

    <ik-image
      width="400"
      src="https://ik.imagekit.io/omnsxzubg0/iss061e098033_lrg_x2pIAiRxk.jpg"
    >
    </ik-image>

This works fine in my app. However, the docs state that I can also import components individually as needed like so:

import { IKImage, IKContext, IKUpload } from "imagekitio-vue"

export default {
  components: {
    IKImage,
    IKContext,
    IKUpload
  }
}

Thus, I tried to do this in my plugins/vueimagekit.js file but it did not work:

import Vue from 'vue'
import { IKImage } from 'imagekitio-vue'
Vue.use(IKImage, {
  urlEndpoint: 'https://ik.imagekit.io/omnsxzubg0/'
  // publicKey: "your_public_api_key",
  // authenticationEndpoint: "https://www.your-server.com/auth"
})

I get the following error in console:

vue.runtime.esm.js?2b0e:619 [Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: <ik-image> - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.

found in

---> <Pages/photos/index.vue> at pages/photos/index.vue
       <Nuxt>
         <Layouts/default.vue> at layouts/default.vue
           <Root>

Anyone got any tips on how I can do this correctly? Thank you!

I had the same issue. I found that by just changing the import statement in plugins/vueimagekit.js to const {ImageKit} = require('imagekitio-vue') the "ik-" components work.

Don't forget to add the plugin line in nuxt.config.js.
