Anyone managed to get Leaflet.Elevation working with react-leaflet?

I use npm package management and my package.json looks like this:

"leaflet": "1.0.3",
"leaflet.elevation": "0.0.3",
...
"react-leaflet": "1.1.4",

I thought to use leaflet.elevation in traditional (non-react) way, however L.control.elevation which is meant to be used as constructor is undefined.

I am able to use Leaflet via the global L variable and also via import as this this one:

import MyOwnLeaflet from 'leaflet';
MyOwnLeaflet.Marker 

however when I try to use leaflet.elevation in the same manner:

import MyOwnLeafletElevation from 'leaflet.elevation';

I end up with:

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'leaflet.elevation'
