Why is the plugin not loading in nuxt?

Question

JavaScript

Hello.
Installed npm plugin i vue-sidebar-menu
Added it to plugins folder
plugins/vue-sidebar-menu.js :

import Vue from 'vue'
import * as VueSidebarMenu from 'vue-sidebar-menu'
Vue.use(VueSidebarMenu)

Connected in nuxt.config.js:

plugins: [
    '~plugins/vue-sidebar-menu'
  ],
build: {
    transpile: ['vue-sidebar-menu'],
}

Nothing works with this configuration.
There are no errors, just like the page is loaded and that's it.
I added it to the component like this:

<script>
import { SidebarMenu } from 'vue-sidebar-menu'
export default {
components: {
        SidebarMenu
    },
}
</script>

But still nothing is loading.
What could be the problem? Thanks
