External Script Importing & Requiring Documentation

[zacnomore]

There's a mismatch in the docs between the text and code sample. The text suggests that libraries need imported and requiring it while the code only imports it. Which is correct?

https://gridsome.org/docs/assets-scripts#using-an-external-library

If you want to use a external javascript library inside your component you can do so by importing the component and requiring it once vue components are mounted.

...

import moment from 'moment';

Would it make sense to update this to something like:

If you want to use a external JavaScript library inside your component you can do so by importing the component and utilizing it once the Vue component has mounted.

@12vanblart Thanks for the reply! I may have over-complicated this but I was focused on this part "importing the component and requiring it " thinking it meant require and import like this example:

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import ReloadRoot from './components/ReloadRoot';
const render = () => {
  ReactDOM.render(
    <ReloadRoot />,
    document.getElementById('root')
  );
}

render();

if (module.hot) {
  module.hot.accept('./components/ReloadRoot', () => {
    require('./components/ReloadRoot').default;
    render();
  });
}

from this article.

I'm struggling with this too.

I don't know how to import a .js file I have sitting in my assets folder. Keep getting 404 even thought believe the path is correct.

It's not very clear at all.
