TypeError: encode is not a function

[alizarei95]

Hello there, I'm new in js. I've downloaded index.js from here : https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/cbor-x?tab=files&path=dist

and imported in my js file like this :

import * as CBOR from './src/js/cborx.js'

but when I call CBOR.encode(data) it throws :

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: CBOR.encode is not a function

How it can be fixed?

Are you trying to do this in Node or in the browser? With Node, you would typically download it by using npm install cbor-x and then import ... from 'cbor-x'. If you are using this in the browser, are you using any module loader/bundler? (could be the same route based on what you are using).

I'm developing an extension for chrome with pure js not node js or etc. I'm not using any module loader. I just added js file to my project and imported in my js file.

If you are using a platform that supports ESM, you should be able to directly import encode.js.

You mean I just import encode.js?

Yes, like import { encode} from './path/to/encode.js'
