svelte - Importing external libraries like node.js special syntax

Question

I'm trying to use an external library in Svelte whose instructions are for node.js, for example:

var lunr = require("lunr")
require("lunr-languages/lunr.stemmer.support")(lunr)
require('lunr-languages/lunr.multi')(lunr)
require("lunr-languages/lunr.de")(lunr)

The first import I simply converted to import lunr from "lunr" and it works as expected (after npm install of course). However, I have no idea how to import the other 3 lines with that special syntax. Any advice?

Answer 1

That special syntax is calling the required function with lunr as an argument. It can be rewritten as follows:

import lunr from 'lunr';
import stemmerSupport from 'lunr-languages/lunr.stemmer.support';
import multi from 'lunr-languages/lunr.multi';
import de from 'lunr-languages/lunr.de';

stemmerSupport(lunr);
multi(lunr);
de(lunr);
