Use Jimp in Browser with webpack build

[huytran0605]

I'm facing a lot of issues when trying to use Jimp on browser with webpack build.
I tried to used browser version by import Jimp from 'jimp/browser/lib/jimp';
But it didn't work and i got error _jimp2.default.read is not a function
Could you please help me to solve that? Because i used Jimp on node server and it worked perfectly. So I really want to use Jimp in Browser.

If you're pulling from npm, the 0.2.28 version is completely broken for browser. I ended up grabbing version 0.2.27 and then my import statement looked like this:
import 'jimp/browser/lib/jimp'; and everything worked fine from there (can just call Jimp.read(...))

Any update ? Still impossible to use this module in the browser....

this is working in latest master (not 0.2.28). see my issue #466. Jimp is attached to the window instead of working with require. closing in favor of #466

also you shouldn't need to import 'jimp/browser/lib/jimp' as webpack will do this for you. I have a sample repo I can push if you want to see a minimal working webpack build.

I would be very interested in seeing your sample repo, with the minimal working webpack build - tia,
