Having some trouble importing this

[rgarner]

I don't appear to be able to import anything from this package – I presume I need something like

import autocomplete from 'getaddress-autocomplete'

But a) that's not documented and b) the module doesn't seem able to resolve.

package.json says "main": "./dist/getaddress-autocomplete.mjs", but I don't have a ./dist folder after installing.

To get this to work as per the documentation, with import autocomplete from 'getaddress-autocomplete' as the import, I had to:

cd node_modules/getaddress-autocomplete
npm install
npm run build

I'm a ruby person rather than a JS person, but this isn't something I have to do with other packages I've yarn added to package.json – is the npm package publishing step missing the thing that creates dist?

@rgarner Try import { autocomplete } from 'getaddress-autocomplete'

This library used named, rather than default, imports

@watsom27 thanks, I did eventually do this a couple of years ago, but ended up just talking to the URLs directly so as not to take a dependency.

Im looking at probably having to do the same, this library looks abandoned and doesnt seem to play nicely with Bootstrap
