Create alias for a vue component?

The name of what you import only matters when you import something using curly braces, since you are importing specific things from that file/package/whatever.

If you don't use curly braces, you are just importing whatever is exported as default from that file/package/whatever and can therefore give it whatever name you want.

For example, something like this means "import specifically x and y from z":

import { x, y } from 'z'

These names, x and y, need to correspond with something exported in z with those names.

Something like this however is just saying "import the default thing from z and give it the alias MyThing":

import MyThing from 'z'

If you want to give a non-default import a name, you'd need to do something like this:

import { x as MyThing } from 'z'

This will import the non-default thing x and give it the alias MyThing.

Had a similar issue just now.

I wanted to import two components with the same name but different modules as follows:

import LabelsField from '@/components/Index/LabelsField'
import LabelsField from '@/components/Form/LabelsField'

Importing default and making an alias worked fine:

import { default as LabelsFieldIndex } from '@/components/Index/LabelsField'
import LabelsField from '@/components/Form/LabelsField'

...

  components: {
    LabelsFieldIndex,
    LabelsField
  },

new Vue({ el: '#app', components: { 'component-a': ComponentA, 'component-b': ComponentB } }) for more details go follow links https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-registration.html

Vue.component('my-modal', VModal )

When you import it. Like

 import my-modal from 'vue-js-modal' 

then

Vue.use(my-modal);
