JSSoup is not a constructor

[ghost]

Hey! I am trying to use JSSoup in ES6 node.js with modules, but it keeps giving me a JSSoup is not a constructor issue. Any help on this would be appreciated.

make sure you import it correctly

var JSSoup = require('jssoup').default;

user@pop-os:~/vcs/int/jssoup-test$ cat index.js 
import JSSoup from 'jssoup'; 

const html = `
<p>one</p><p>two</p>
<p>three</p>
`;

const soup = new JSSoup(html);

user@pop-os:~/vcs/int/jssoup-test$ node index.js 
file:///home/user/vcs/int/jssoup-test/index.js:8
const soup = new JSSoup(html);
             ^

I am also having the same issue. I have tried both import statements listed on the docs, Node JS doesn't like either one.

Anyone have working code with this import??

I am having the same issue as well, even if my fetching function returns a valid response

you need one of the following because the developer exported the name as "default":

ES6+

import JSSoupt from 'jssoup'
const Soup = JSSoup.default

const mysoup = new Soup(<form>)

ES6+

import JSSoup from 'jssoup'

const mysoup = new JSSoup.default(<form>)

ES5

var JSSoup = require('jssoup').default

const mysoup = new JSSoup(<form>)
