+## Using the plugin with TypeScript
+
+To use your custom wrapper plugin with [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) you have to declare your custom wrapper function. Therefore, add a file named `vue-test-utils.d.ts` with the following content:
+```typescript
+import { DOMWrapper } from '@vue/test-utils';
+
+declare module '@vue/test-utils' {
+  export class VueWrapper {
+    findByTestId(testId: string): DOMWrapper[];
+  }
