/tsconfig

Base tsconfig for Vue 3 projects.

MIT LicenseMIT

@vue/tsconfig

TSConfigs for Vue projects to extend.

Requires TypeScript >= 5.0. For TypeScript v4.5 to v4.9, please use v0.1.x.

See below for the changes in v0.2.x.

Installation

npm add -D @vue/tsconfig

Usage

Add one of the available configurations to your tsconfig.json:

The Base Configuration (Runtime-agnostic)

"extends": "@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.json"

Configuration for Browser Environment

"extends": "@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.dom.json"

Configuration for Node Environments

First install the base tsconfig and types for the Node.js version you are targeting, for example:

npm add -D @tsconfig/node18 @types/node@18

If you are not using any bundlers, the Node.js code doesn't rely on any Vue/Vite-specific features, then these would be enough, you may not need to extend the Vue TSConfig:

"extends": "@tsconfig/node18/tsconfig.json",
"compilerOptions": [
  "types": ["node"]
]

Otherwise, if you are trying to use Vue components in Node.js environments (e.g. Server Side Rendering, Vitest, etc.), you will need to extend the Vue TSConfig along with the Node.js TSConfig:

"extends": [
  "@tsconfig/node18/tsconfig.json",
  "@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.json"
],
"compilerOptions": [
  "types": ["node"]
]

Make sure to place @vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.json after @tsconfig/node18/tsconfig.json so that it takes precedence.

Migrating from TypeScript < 5.0

  • The usage of base tsconfig.json is unchanged.
  • tsconfig.web.json is now renamed to tsconfig.dom.json, to align with @vue/runtime-dom and @vue/compiler-dom.
  • tsconfig.node.json is removed, please read the Node.js section above for Node.js usage.

Some configurations have been updated, which might affect your projects:

  • moduleResolution changed from node to bundler
  • The lib option in tsconfig.dom.json now includes ES2020 by default.
    • Previously it was ES2016, which was the lowest ES version that Vue 3 supports.

    • Vite 4 transpiles down to ES2020 by default, this new default is to align with the build tool.

    • This change won't throw any new errors on your existing code, but if you are targeting old browsers and want TypeScript to throw errors on newer features used, you can override the lib option in your tsconfig.json:

      {
        "extends": "@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.dom.json",
        "compilerOptions": {
          "lib": ["ES2016", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"]
        }
      }
