pouchdb db.login is not a function

Question

Tried using these imports

import PouchDB from 'pouchdb';
import PouchDBAuth from 'pouchdb-authentication';

PouchDB.plugin(PouchDBAuth)

Module ''pouchdb-authentication'' has no default export is the error generated while using these imports.

PouchDB.plugin(require('pouchdb-authentication'));

Using require is removing the error but still showing db.login() is not a function. Can anyone suggest where the issue is?

maybe check the version of you plugin. your code should work; pouchdb-authentication definitely have a default export. and maybe do npm i again — Femi Oni, Jan 26 '18 at 19:37
Same here, I can output pouchdb-authentication which has the login function but this line does not affect the Pouchdb object : PouchDB.plugin(PouchDBAuth), so the db.login is undefined — Ostn, Aug 07 '18 at 15:10

Well I found why it was not working in my situation, I was using this :

import '*' as PouchDBAuthentication from 'pouchdb-authentication';

instead of

import PouchDBAuthentication from 'pouchdb-authentication';

So the right way is

import PouchDBAuthentication from 'pouchdb-authentication';
import PouchDB from 'pouchdb';

PouchDB.plugin(PouchDBAuthentication);

No Need Below Library

import PouchAuth from 'pouchdb-authentication';

just pass auth PouchDb

new PouchDB('url', {
  auth: {
    username: 'user',
    password: 'pass'
  }
}
