Adding External Libraries

[seikosantana]

Hi,

I gave this library a try and i liked how it works, but I encounter problems when trying to add more external libraries like chart js. Here's what I tried: npm i chart-js react-chartjs-2

I haven't even tinkered with the remote component configuration as i dont mind if libraries get bundled anyway, webpack wasnt able to build:

[webpack]     ERROR in ./src/components/Title.js
[webpack]     Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'react-chartjs-2' in '/home/seikosantana/Projects/remote-component-starter/src/components'

Any clue on how to fix this? I'm really hoping to use this remote-component.

Thanks in advance

The npm statement you are using npm i chart-js react-chartjs-2 is using a package that does not exist. chart-js is not on npm.

I was able to install the react-chartjs-2 lib successfully with this command:

npm i react-chartjs-2

I tested with the remote-component-starter. If you are having difficulties with another project, can you include a link to a github repo so we can reproduce it?

Sorry i think i mistyped it when creating the issue. It meant to be chart.js instead of chart-js.

I have also solved the issue (I think at least for now), and updated the library dependencies for newer version of webpack and typescript support. I haven't started using it intensively for now and i think this issue can be closed.

Maybe will reopen if i encounter anything else related to this issue.

Thanks a lot!
