Can't add bootshelf plugin

[francescofact]

Hi, i'm trying to add a plugin to my bookshelf.
i installed the plugin with
npm install --save bookshelf-simplepaginate
then i created the file in config/functions/bookshelf.js
with:

'use strict';

module.exports = (bookshelf, connection) => {
  bookshelf.plugin(require('bookshelf-simplepaginate'));
};

But strapi goes in bootloop saying:

0|Strapi  | [2020-08-05T15:54:33.294Z] debug ⛔️ Server wasn't able to start properly.
0|Strapi  | [2020-08-05T15:54:33.301Z] error TypeError: require(...) is not a function

What am i doing wrong?

@alexandrebodin @lauriejim do you have any suggestions here?

[alexandrebodin]

bookshelf.plugin must be called with a string not a required module :) try bookshelf.plugin('bookshelf-simplepaginate')

Ah so our documentation is wrong: https://strapi.io/documentation/v3.x/concepts/configurations.html#database-orm-customization

I'll submit a PR to fix this, @alexandrebodin can you confirm if they need to require this package anywhere or just adding the name of the plugin and installing it into their package.json is enough?

[alexandrebodin]

it is enough yes
