import bootstrap from 'bootstrap' - "export default was not found"

Created by: demiavaliani

I have Angular 11 & Bootstrap 5 project.

Following the documentation from here: Package managers > NPM

  1. "import bootstrap from 'bootstrap'" to expose the plugins.

  2. Now having "bootstrap" object, I go ahead and try to get instance of Modal for example: bootstrap.Modal.getInstance(myModal);

Received following error: "export 'default' (imported as 'bootstrap') was not found in 'bootstrap'

Looks like there is no default export in bootstrap library. Instead import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap' fixed the issue.

Also, it would be good to have a mention of how to import properly the plugins inside the website Components section itself. For example, Components > Modal > getInstance just mentions that we can get instance of a Modal. But it does not say how to properly import the plugins first.
