Trying to call a static method from an imported ES6 module

Question

I'm using Firefox 56 with dom.moduleScripts.enabled set to true. This allows me to work with native ES6 modules.

I have a vue2 component which has a method defined:

import StorageZonesAjaxMethods from '../../ajax/storage-zones.js';
....
methods: {
        updateList() 
        {
            //console.log(StorageZonesAjaxMethods);
            StorageZonesAjaxMethods.getList();//function(response) { this.list = response.data.payload;});

        },
    },

where the class with the methods is:

export default new class StorageZonesAjaxMethods {

    static getItem(id, then)
    {
        axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones/${id}`)
            .then(response => then);
    }

    static getList(then)
    {
        alert('in get list');
        axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones`)
            .then(response => then);
    }

I get the error "TypeError: (intermediate value).getList is not a function" in firefx, but the console.log shows it is, but it's inside a constructor for some reason. What's going on?

Answer 1

Never use new class { … }!

And don't default-export a class with only static methods either. Simplify to

export default {
    getItem(id) {
        return axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones/${id}`);
    }
    getList() {
        alert('in get list');
        return axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones`);
    }
};

Or even better change both files and use

export function getItem(id) {
    return axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones/${id}`);
}
export function getList() {
    alert('in get list');
    return axios.get(`${Config.apiBaseUrl}/storage-zones`);
}

import * as StorageZonesAjaxMethods from '../../ajax/storage-zones.js';

Lesson learnt - don't code with tired eyes. export default new class StorageZonesAjaxMethods in the class shouldn't have a new there
