Do you do something like this?

var PouchDB = require("pouchdb");
var PouchAuth = require("pouchdb-authentication");
PouchDB.plugin(PouchAuth);

Hi @lakinmohapatra, thanks for you report.

You have to give us more information for us to help you, as we are not mind readers yet. The issue template, that you promptly deleted, asked you some questions for exactly this reason. So as of your issue, we need at least to know:

• what language, packaging and execution environment do you use,
• the exact code you use to import/require PouchDB and PouchDB Authentication and the exact code you use to initialize those.

[lakinmohapatra]

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import PouchDB from 'pouchdb';
import PouchAuth from 'pouchdb-authentication';

@Injectable()
export class CouchAuthenticateService {
db : any;

constructor() {
PouchDB.plugin(PouchAuth);
this.db = new PouchDB('http://127.0.0.1:5984/tata');
}

signup(formData : any) {
console.log(formData);
return this.db.signup(formData.userName, formData.password, {
metadata : {
email : formData.email,
}
});
}

signin(formData : any) {
console.log(formData);
return this.db.login(formData.userName, formData.password);

}

}

"pouchdb-authentication": "^0.5.5",

[lakinmohapatra]

I have updated it to 1.12 . But still showing error.

import PouchDB from 'pouchdb';
import * as PouchAuth from 'pouchdb-authentication';

Showing this.db.login is not a function.

Using angular 5

@lakinmohapatra So it seems to be Typescript code. Can you show your tsconfig.json please ?

Side note: the PouchDB.plugin(PouchAuth) should be in the header just after the imports.

@lakinmohapatra any news ?

[lakinmohapatra]

I will share tsconfig. Thanks for the reminder.
