Extend with plugins simpler

[BCsabaEngine]

I am happy to use plugins very simple anc clear. But I have got an idea to more clear import syntax.

Now:

const ....
const dayjs = require('dayjs');
const relativeTime = require('dayjs/plugin/relativeTime');
dayjs.extend(relativeTime);
const ...

I can write it simple (two step in one)

const ....
const dayjs = require('dayjs').extend(require('dayjs/plugin/relativeTime'));
const ...

It would be good to use more simpler:

const dayjs = require('dayjs').extendInline('relativeTime', [options]);

Pseudo for alternative usage:

dayjs.extendInline = function (file, option) {
  import plugin from 'dayjs/plugin/' + file;
  plugin(option, Dayjs, dayjs);
  return dayjs;
}; 

(extendInline may be extend, but I am not familiar with typescript overload)

Hi, thanks for the advice.

It may be better to leave the import work to our users. Cause different packing tools and compilers may have different syntax.

Thx for reply and for your time!
I agree your opinion and harmonize with you. Of course. Maybe I will make a package to "configure" day.js import with this short format. I don't know how many user will use my tool :)

I have tested behavior of day.js and I found: I need to initialize extensions/plugins only once (top most level; index.js) and every other require() will be use it with these extensions too. Great!

Yes, because dayjs is in global scope.
