Currently trying to use the compress.js package to compress and image in nuxtjs.

But when it import it into the <script> tag it gives me an error. Cannot use import statement outside a module.

import Compress from "compress.js";

I tried adding it to the plugins directory and in nuxt.config.js like this.

nuxt.config.js

plugins: [
    { src: "~/plugins/compress-js.js", mode: "client" }
  ],

compress-js.js

import Vue from "vue";
import Compress from "compress.js";
Vue.use(new Compress());

But the error still comes. Any help would be appreciated.
