How to extend vue component imported from npm package?

问题

If you have a vue component that is installed via Node :

node_modules/vendor/somecomponent.vue

Is there any way to modify/extend the template/methods of this component?

Update:

After trying out the example below, I'm facing this issue:

I am using https://github.com/eliep/vue-avatar and I need to extend this with a prop, and maybe amend the template a bit.

import {Avatar} from 'vue-avatar'

Avatar = Vue.component('Avatar').extend({
      props: ['nationality']
});

export default {
        components: {
            Avatar
        }, 

       ...
}

Results in TypeError: Cannot read property 'extend' of undefined

It doesn't appear to be documented specifically, but the extend method of Vue itself is available to components. You can override the template and add methods (and data and props).

Vue.component('someComponent', {
  template: '<div>hi {{name}} {{one}}</div>',
  data: () => ({
    name: 'original'
  }),
  props: ['one'],
  methods: {
    original: function() {
      this.name = 'original';
    }
  }
});

const myC = Vue.component('someComponent').extend({
  template: '#my-template',
  props: ['two'],
  methods: {
    another: function() {
      this.name = 'another';
    }
  }
});


new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  components: {
    myComponent: myC
  }
});

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.2.3/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id='app'>
  <my-component one="arf" two="meow"></my-component>
</div>

<template id="my-template">
  <div>Look, it's {{name}} {{one}} {{two}}
  <button @click="original">Call original</button>
  <button @click="another">Call another</button>
  </div>
</template>

Avatar appears to be a component spec, the simple JavaScript object that Vue will create a Component object from. Try this:

Vue.component('originalAvatar', Avatar);
const newAvatar = Vue.component('originalAvatar').extend({
  /* Your spec */
});
