version

English | 中文

Notice: skipDiagnostics option default to false since 1.7.0.


Install

pnpm add vite-plugin-dts -D

Usage

In vite.config.ts:

import { resolve } from 'path'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import dts from 'vite-plugin-dts'

export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    lib: {
      entry: resolve(__dirname, 'src/index.ts'),
      name: 'MyLib',
      formats: ['es'],
      fileName: 'my-lib'
    }
  },
  plugins: [dts()]
})

In your component:

<template>
  <div></div>
</template>

<script lang="ts">
// using defineComponent for inferring types
import { defineComponent } from 'vue'

export default defineComponent({
  name: 'Component'
})
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
// Need to access the defineProps returned value to
// infer types although you never use the props directly
const props = defineProps<{
  color: 'blue' | 'red'
}>()
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ color }}</div>
</template>

FAQ

Here are some FAQ's and solutions.

Missing some declaration files after build (before 1.7.0)

By default skipDiagnostics option is true, which means that type diagnostic will be skipped during the build process (some projects may have diagnostic tools such as vue-tsc). If there are some files with type errors which interrupt the build process, these files will not be emitted (declaration files won't be generated).

If your project doesn't use type diagnostic tools, you can set skipDiagnostics: false and logDiagnostics: true to turn on the diagnostic and log features of this plugin. It will help you check the type errors during build and log error information to the terminal.

Take type error when using both script and setup-script in vue component

This is usually caused by using defineComponent function in both script and setup-script. When vue/compiler-sfc compiles these files, the default export result from script gets merged with the parameter object of defineComponent from setup-script. This is incompatible with parameters and types returned from defineComponent, which results in a type error.

Here is a simple example, you should remove the defineComponent which in script and export a native object directly.

Take errors that unable to infer types from packages which under node_modules

This is a exist issue when TypeScript inferring types from packages which under node_modules through soft links (pnpm), you can refer to this issue. Currently has a workaround that add baseUrl to your tsconfig.json and specify the paths for these packages:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "third-lib": ["node_modules/third-lib"]
    }
  }
}
