Import default in Vue component not definied in DevTools console

Time:04-12

Simple data example, constants.js

export default {
  name: "John Smith",
  age: 10
};

Import it on the Vue component, which renders correctly. But if I use the DevTools and type c in the console... c is undefined.

import c from "../constants/constants.js";

export default {
  name: "HelloWorld",
  computed: {
    myName() {
      debugger;
      // In DevTools, console... c is undefined
      // even though this clearly works
      return c.name;
    },
  },
};

I don't understand why?

CodePudding user response:

Modules are not exposed to the global scope (window) when transpiled.

If you really want to expose c in DevTools you'd have to do window.c = c; Be careful when referencing window as this will break when rendering server side or prerendering as window does not exist.
