Laravel how do I import a vuejs package installed trough NPM - laravel

Question

(Disclaimer: I'm not very proficient in Vue)
What is the correct way to import/include a Vuejs package in my project? I somehow seem to not be able to import a file.
I'm trying to import this package: https://github.com/sagalbot/vue-select
What I have done so far:
Ran the command: npm install vue-select
Tried adding the vue-select package to my Vue like so (in
resources/assets/js/app.js):
import vSelect from './components/Select.vue'
Vue.component('v-select', vSelect);
Now when I use the v-select in my HTML file it gives this error in console: [Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: <v-select> - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.
What I've tried to fix this:
Instead of using this in app.js I used it in my *.vue file, I don't use webpack/browserify I think, so import doesnt work :/ I prefer not to use browserify.
I have vue-resource package aswell and that created a vue-resource.js file in my public/js directory which I can import to use vue-resource. It seems like vue-select doesn't create its own vue-select.js file.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
I have looked at this question: Import vue package in laravel but I don't understand what paths and files the lines should be added to.

I think this is hust your import statement. If you have installed it through npm, then you should import from vue-select. Also, use require instead of import, This way:
Vue.component('v-select', require('vue-select'));
You may want to use it only in your Vue component, then you should load your own component as explained above, And in your own vue component say VueSelect.vueuse this:
<template>
<!-- use it with name 'v-select' in your component -->
<v-select></v-select>
</template>
<script>
export default {
...
components: { vSelect: require('vue-select') },
...
}
</script>
Then you can register your own component a s global,
Vue.component('vue-select', require( './components/VueSelect.vue') );
And use it in your root component:
<vue-select></vue-select>
Update
If you are using laravel, it gives you laravel mix out of the box which compiles down your assets using webpack. All you need to do is run a compile script:
npm run dev
If you are making changes to your js files, you wouldn't want to run this over and over, so you can run watch command:
npm run watch
If this doesnt work for you, try watch-poll instead. Als, make sure you have installed all dependencies first:
npm install
