db.plugin is not a function

[dharmesh312]

I included the database but the plugin in not working

var db = new PouchDB('dbname');
db.plugin(require('pouchdb-quick-search'));

Sorry, I'd need more details in order to help you out... browser, environment, did you npm install, etc.? What's not working?

^^ You need to declare the plugin on the pouch db import, rather than on the DB instance:

var PouchDB = require('pouchdb');
PouchDB.plugin(require('pouchdb-quick-search'));

or

import * as PouchDB from 'pouchdb';
import * as pouchQuickSearchPlugin from 'pouchdb-quick-search';
PouchDB.plugin(pouchQuickSearchPlugin);

etc
