_.deepExtend is not a function. #29

Closed rachitpant closed 4 years ago

rachitpant commented 4 years ago

I decided to give this a try on my project. When I click preview , I get this error. I am getting this same error when I click section config. After this, I am not able to close the preview section , basically the screen becomes unresponsive.

Not sure if this is happening because I am using lodash (_) in the application in other pages , but I can see this in the screenshots of other issues as well.

One of my dependencies is lodash which has _.deepExtend method. I think I'm gonna remove lodash out of my dependencies soon.

Thanks for reporting!

I think over here you are trying to mixin the method using underscoreDeepExtend. Something else I want to point out is that its not a good idea to pollute global window namespace.

Please what is the way around this at the moment?

I spent a lot of time trying to fix bugs , it wasnt worth the time, our company decided to go with surveyjs.io when we tackle it. Its lot more refined and has a lot more features.

Hey guys,

I'm very sorry about the inactivity of the library. I already made a plan to rebuild the Vue Form Builder again. Main reasons:

The codebase is not clean enough (yes, more than 1 year already), even I feel bad and saw that it's hard to maintain
A lot of dependencies, I need to reduce it, it made the form itself too heavy (2M)
Prevent to export any unnecessary variables/functions and prevent to use the window object
A lot of problems in the current form.
...

You can see more detail in the main repository README. Until that, I think I won't support any old problems and hope you guys wait for the new version instead. The current one looks very unstable (from then to now).

Thank you for your support and a big apology from me!
