VueJS + Nuxtjs Unexpected Token 'export'

Question

So i have this code as my index page and It was working, but a couple minutes later it just stopped.

the error is:

SyntaxError
Unexpected token export

Within the script section, If i remove my import then the error will go away, but I need to import it and use it. It was working with the package being imported, but I have looked this code up and down I have no idea what the heck is going on.

Anyone have any suggestions? Am I dumb and have missed something so simple?

<template>
    <section class='container'>
        <img class='my-4' src="~/assets/images/carousel/1.png" alt="card" />
        <div class='text-center mx-auto my-4'>
            <a href="/send/photo"><button> Send a card </button></a>
            <p class='subtle my-4'> Or </p>
            <a href="/open"><button class='btn-blue'> Open a card </button></a>

Answer 1

In your build property in nuxt.config.js you'll need to add a transpile block that targets this library:

build: {
  transpile: [
    'qrcode-generator-es6'
  ]
}

This is due to the fact that nuxt expects libraries to export as CJS modules and not ES6 modules.

Answer 2

In nuxt.config.js replace export default { on module.exports = {
