I try to include RaphaelPlugin from npm and build it with webpack. On the development everything works well, the plugin is included and all good. On production build though the RaphaelPlugin is missing from the build. I tried multiple ways to include the file, but still something is wrong in production. 

Any ideas?

 

import 'gsap/TweenLite';
import 'gsap/TweenMax';
import 'gsap/TimelineMax';
import * as RaphaelPlugin from 'gsap/umd/RaphaelPlugin';

Sorry about any confusion there - Raphael is quite old and doesn't appear to have been maintained for quite a few years (2016), so we phased that plugin out. I just checked, though, and it looks like there was a bug-fix release last March, but it doesn't really seem like it's something that many people use these days. I could be wrong. I'm curious - what are you using Raphael for these days?

We have an animation application that uses Raphael.js for SVG manipulation and didn't really considered replacing it yet cause it does the job so far. 

 

Thanks for the update. 
The solution we have for the problem is including the RaphaelPlugin separately, but  I wanted to avoid this.

More strange(or worse), was that this issue happens only with the production build. Now I haven't really digged into npm and webpack to see if that is the cause of it. 

 

If I compare RaphaelPlugin with the others, it seems to me that only the package naming is somehow an issue with npm

Should I assume that this will never be included as an ES Module?

 

Correct, we don't have plans to do that at this point but it shouldn't be terribly difficult to take the UMD version and make it into an ES module. You've been "Shockingly Green" since 2017, which we sure appreciate, so let me know if you'd like me to convert that for you and I can send it to you privately.

I would appreciate that very much :) Thanks!
