ReferenceError: window is not defined

See original GitHub issue

despite using client only code the above error is generated. For example using this @johmun/vue-tags-input repository.

the reason is that when we import this in the component, this creates an error.

import ClientOnly from "vue-client-only";
import VueTagsInput from "@johmun/vue-tags-input";
export default {
...
...

Template:


<vue-client-only>
    <vue-tags-input v-model="tag" :tags="tags" @tags-changed="newTags => tags = newTags" />
  </vue-client-only>

… … so how can we import the js with window and docuemnt variables without generating an error?
