I've build a react app transpiled with webpack and now want to use a package pulled from npm (namely vanilla-cookieconsent). Alas, it's written pretty old school, there is no export or nothing, instead it's just a self calling function that adds a method to the window object. And for the life of me I can't seem to get it into my react/webpack combo.
So, what is the correct way to load and use such a function in a transpiled react app?
Doesn't simply something like
import '~vanilla-cookieconsent/cookieconsent.css';
...
useEffect(() => {
import('~vanilla-cookieconsent/cookieconsent.js').then(() => {
// Loading the script should have injected this to window
window.cookieconsent.run(...);
});
}, []);
do the trick?
