A Vite plugin that generates declaration files (*.d.ts) from .ts(x) or .vue source files when using Vite in library mode.
English | 中文
pnpm i vite-plugin-dts -DIn 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">
defineProps<{
color: 'blue' | 'red'
}>()
</script>
<template>
<div>{{ color }}</div>
</template>Here are some FAQ's and solutions.
By default, the skipDiagnostics option is set to true which means 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 diagnostic and logging features of this plugin. It will help you check the type errors during build and log error information to the terminal.
This is usually caused by using the 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.
This is an existing issue when TypeScript infers types from packages located in node_modules through soft links (pnpm). Please refer to this TypeScript issue. The current workaround is to add baseUrl to your tsconfig.json and specify the paths for these packages:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"third-lib": ["node_modules/third-lib"]
}
}
