Reproduction steps

  1. Install package npm install --save easymde
  2. Use webpack to bundle your js and point it to an entrypoint javascript file.
  3. Import it in your JS file import "easymde" or import { EasyMDE } from "easymde" or import * as EasyMDE from "easymde"
  4. Visit page that JS is loaded, it will say CodeMirror.commands is undefined in browser console.

If I import the minified js file (see below) it works fine, so I guess the issue is related to the bundling, perhaps some dependency or something that have to be set in the webpack config file that is not specified?

const EasyMDE = require('easymde/dist/easymde.min.js');

Version information

Browser type and version: Chrome/Firefox EasyMDE version: 2.4.2

Research direction
Investigate the bundling issue by examining the EasyMDE package's main entry point and its dependencies, especially CodeMirror. Check if the issue is caused by incorrect webpack configuration or a missing dependency. Look at the issue comments and try to reproduce with a minimal webpack setup. Consider updating the import method or adding a webpack plugin.
