Plugins are specific Vue packages that add global-level functionality to Vue, so if you aren't using a Vue plugin then you don't need to register it with Vue using Vue.use().

In general there isn't any issue using non-vue-specific packages via npm but if you need to register something globally, you can usually get away with simply attaching it to window like so:

window.x = require('package-name');
