How do you import a javascript package from a cdn script tag in React

Question

I'd like to import this javascript package in React

<script src="https://cdn.dwolla.com/1/dwolla.js"></script>

However, there is no NPM package, so I can't import it as such:

import dwolla from 'dwolla'

or

import dwolla from 'https://cdn.dwolla.com/1/dwolla.js'

so whenver I try

dwolla.configure(...)

I get an error saying that dwolla is undefined. How do I solve this?

Thanks

Hello,

Go to the index.html file and import the script

<script src="https://cdn.dwolla.com/1/dwolla.js"></script>

Then, in the file where dwolla is being imported, set it to a variable

const dwolla = window.dwolla;

Hope it works!
