importing the premium plugins in react

[Luckyde 26 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi there,
I'm having problems importing the customEase, Bounce and Physics modules to react, i saw 

 

but that didnt really fix my problem,

I tried to seperately load the customEase for example, but i still had the same error it had a gsap dependancy

I tried to put the UMD version of customEase into nodeModules>gsap>UMD >customEase
then the longway approach of 

require('../../../../node_modules/gsap/umd/CustomEase');

but then i get 

undefined is not a constructor (evaluating 'new (_$$_REQUIRE(_dependencyMap[11], "gsap").TimelineMax)()')

 

Our codebase is in typescript so I had to use https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/gsap
To get the main library to work do i need to modify this and create my own extension for the plugins for them to work on React?

Anyone had experience with this?

Thank you

Hi @Luckyde

With our projects, we have a plugins directory that we import from as such:

 

import CustomEase from './../static/plugins/CustomEase';

 

 

As far as using Require, I've found that I had to do so when using GSAP's premium products (SplitText, etc), which I access in a similar manner:
 

require('../../static/plugins/SplitText.js');

 

with the Require, I need to add SplitText as an exception in the globals of the .eslintrc file.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks @elegantseagulls! With yours did you use the version of the plugins in the minified verison, the npm or the umd verison? just to make sure mine match, i'm still getting the same Dependency errors if i use the normal minified version

 _$$_REQUIRE(...).TimelineMax is not a constructor

@Luckyde

 

We're using the files from 'bonus-files-for-npm-users > umd`

 

Also, TimelineMax isn't referenced in this CustomEase.js, so I have a feeling your error may be coming from somewhere else.

 

Also, to elaborate on my first reply a bit:

The important reason for not putting the file in the node_modules dir is that these files won't be referenced in the package.json file, so if someone were trying to work with your environment from a new machine (assuming your node_modules is in .gitignore as it should be), those files wouldn't be available to yarn/npm install etc.
