Add element-ui components to element plus in main.js vue 3

I'm trying to figure out how to change elementu-ui components to element-plus. Part of my migration from vue 2 to vue 3. I find the documentation isn't clear how to register components in vue 3 in the main.js file.

This is the error I get

"export 'Tree' was not found in 'element-plus'
warning  in ./src/main.js
"export 'default' (imported as 'Vue') was not found in 'vue'

Here's my main.js file

import Vue, { createApp, h } from 'vue'
import Vue, { createApp, h } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import router from './router'
import store from './store'

import ElementPlus from 'element-plus'
import 'element-plus/lib/theme-chalk/index.css'
import {
Button,
Select,
Option,
Dropdown,
TableColumn,
Checkbox,
Badge,
Divider,
Tag,
DropdownItem,
Pagination,
Table,
DropdownMenu,
Tree,
Tooltip,
} from 'element-plus'
import lang from 'element-plus/lib/locale/lang/en'
import locale from 'element-plus/lib/locale'



const getCookieConsent = localStorage.getItem('Cookie acceptance')

if (typeof getCookieConsent !== 'undefined' && getCookieConsent === 'true') {
FullStory.init({ orgId: '14C6AX' })
Vue.prototype.$FullStory = FullStory
}

locale.use(lang)

Vue.component(Tree.name, Tree)
Vue.component(Button.name, Button)
Vue.component(Divider.name, Divider)
Vue.component(Checkbox.name, Checkbox)
Vue.component(Pagination.name, Pagination)
Vue.component(Tag.name, Tag)
Vue.component(Badge.name, Badge)
Vue.component(Table.name, Table)
Vue.component(TableColumn.name, TableColumn)
Vue.component(Select.name, Select)
Vue.component(Dropdown.name, Dropdown)
Vue.component(DropdownItem.name, DropdownItem)
Vue.component(DropdownMenu.name, DropdownMenu)
Vue.component(Tooltip.name, Tooltip)
Vue.component(Option.name, Option)




createApp({
render: () => h(App)
}).use(router).use(store).mount('#app')

I update my package and the previous code not work any more. At last I modified some code and it works. 1, vite.config.js remove

      {
        libraryName: 'element-plus',
        libraryDirectory: 'es',
        style(name) {
          return `element-plus/theme-chalk/${name}.css`;
        },
      }
    ])

2, main.js the past use(component) to remove. Change to:

import ElementPlus from 'element-plus'
import 'element-plus/dist/index.css'
app.use(ElementPlus, {
  // options
})
app.component("ElSubmenu", ElMenu.SubMenu); // ElSubmenu seems special to register like this

In Vue 3, it is not possible (or at least it shouldn't be done that way) to register components globally. You have to create a Vue app using createApp, and then register components for this app.

Also, the element-plus documentation explains everything you need to know to import their components.

// main.js
import ElementPlus from 'element-plus'
import 'element-plus/dist/index.css'

// Create your Vue 3 app
const app = createApp(App)

// Choice #1: register all components. Impacts global bundle size
app.use(ElementPlus, {
  // options
})

app.mount('#app')

If you want to use treeshaking, just import the components when you need them:

// my-component.vue
// Choice #2: import and register components as you need them
import { ElTree } from 'element-plus'

export default {
  components: {
    ElTree
  }
}

Try to import all components with the prefix El, they are exported this way apparently.
