Waypoints comes bundled in several flavours, even via NPM, but I couldn't work out if there's a default implementation or not. So that's why your typical import Waypoint from 'waypoints' directive doesn't work.

I resolved this for my "vanilla ES6 + Webpack" setup as follows:

import 'waypoints/lib/noframework.waypoints.min.js';

const waypoint = new Waypoint({
  element: document.getElementById('myScrollTarget'),
  handler: () => {}
});
