[v1.8.0] TypeError: localForage.getItem is not a function

[ssuess]

Since upgrading to 1.8.0, I am getting the following errors:

TypeError: localForage.getItem is not a function and TypeError: localForage.clear is not a function

Is there something I need to change in my code with this new version?

Reverting to 1.7.4 fixes the issue (and is what I have done for now)

localForage.config is not a function either, had to pin the version back to 1.7.4

yeah, I'm having the same issue when importing in Angular as import * as localforage from "localforage".

Here is a workaround I'm using right now: const localForage = require('localforage').default;

Same issue for me. Too bad this release was published without considering that it (apparently) breaks importing. I'm sure there's still a way of importing it properly (for me, the currently documented way does not work), but nonetheless, a minor release shouldn't cause this issue.

After releasing 1.8.0, our project got broken. Here is the error log of angular 9 project prod build:

"export 'LOCALSTORAGE' (imported as 'localForage') was not found in 'localforage'

Downgrading to 1.7.4 fixed the issue.

Argh, super-sorry about this one, looks like we need more tests for these types of things. I've published 1.8.1 with the ESM change reverted, very sorry about that 😢

So upgrading to 1.8.1 will do the trick. Really sorry about that; I'm working on better integration tests for a new release but they aren't ready yet. I'll make sure this doesn't happen in the future, but it is fixed for now 👍
