Problem when importing `vue-autonumeric`, but not when importing `AutoNumeric`

[j-a-m-l]

I'm trying to use vue-autonumeric on an Electron app (on Linux).

I can import autonumeric alone

import AutoNumeric from 'AutoNumeric'

using an alias:

resolve: {
  alias: {
    'AutoNumeric': 'numeric'
  }
}

but if I try to import vue-autonumeric I see the error Cannot find module 'AutoNumeric'

import VueAutonumeric from 'vue-autonumeric'

using an alias:

resolve: {
  alias: {
     'AutoNumeric': 'numeric',
    // Or these other aliases
    // 'AutoNumeric': 'node_modules/autonumeric/dist/autoNumeric.min',
    // 'AutoNumeric': path.join(__dirname, '../node_modules/autonumeric/dist/autoNumeric.min'),
  }
}

Hi, this is the intended behavior as pointed out in the doc:

Note: In order to minimize the size of the vue-autoNumeric component, the AutoNumeric library dependency is not bundled with it.

We let the dev uses whatever AutoNumeric version he wishes, which indeed means you'll have to import it one way or another, either using a CDN, or installing it via npm beforehand.

Have you tried this configuration?:

resolve: {
    alias: {
        AutoNumeric: 'node_modules/autonumeric/dist/autoNumeric.min',
    },
},

Yes, I tried it, but it wasn't able to find the module.

Since I finally decide to make a DIY solution (an input that, when isn't focused, use a different library to format the numeric content) and it's working fine, the issue could be closed.

Anyway, I appreciate your reply.

I'm sorry to hear you had to rely on hacks :( I really am.
Feel free to mention me next time if I take time to answer.

Well, isn't really a hack, but an "alternative implementation" ;-). In fact, it has something that I miss from this library: the ability to use locale codes, like en-GB, es-ES, etc.

@j-a-m-l this is interesting, would you please elaborate in a feature request in the AutoNumeric issue tracker?
