checking on the version of axios on node_modules it is currently installed.

/node_modules$ npm view axios version 0.18.0

but if i try to access it on localhost:8080

it is still have an error

external "axios":1 Uncaught ReferenceError: axios is not defined

Did you run webpack and have it complete the build? Any results there?

If you only added it to the package.json without running npm install it would not do anything. Another way of doing it is to run npm install --save axios. Doing that will install and add it to your package.json for you.

frontend-maven-plugin is the secret sauce to running nodeJS commands inside your maven build.

To use the version of Node + NPM + Webpack as configured in the project, do this:

$ cd basic
$ ./mvnw frontend:install-node-and-npm
$ ./mvnw frontend:npm
$ ./mvnw frontend:webpack

I used this command to install axios it installed successfully but it is not adding or showing the dependency in package.json
