vue-typescript-import-dts

vue-typescript-import-dts

TypeScript declaration file that allows using import with *.vue files. The primary use case is a bundler environment like webpack. The file itself consists of 4 lines; this package is just for convenience.

Usage

This package requires TypeScript 2 and Vue.js 2, which ships with new type definitions in the Vue.js package itself. Both must be installed separately in your project, which allows choosing a suitable version.

1. Install

   • npm install vue-typescript-import-dts --save-dev

2. Import (one of):

   • Import this module before the import of a .vue file: import 'vue-typescript-import-dts'
   • ... or include it in the types field of your tsconfig.json to globally allow using import with .vue files in your project:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": ["vue-typescript-import-dts"],
...

Then, it is possible to import a *.vue file:

• import Child from './child.vue'

Note: TypeScript will not type check, parse, or even verify the existence of the .vue file: this project only instructs the TypeScript compiler to assume the import of 'something' that ends with .vue succeeds and is a Vue object.

Shameless Plug

If you are using TypeScript 2 together with Vue.js 2, you might also be interested in

• vue-typescript-jest to test Vue.js components and TypeScript sources using Jest
• vue-jest-utils to simplify snapshot testing of Vue.js components using Jest and html2jade
