Overview

This is a template that helps developers get started with Vue 3 and Typescript in Vite. It provides recommendations for IDE setup and offers solutions for handling type support for .vue imports in TypeScript.

Features

• Vue 3: The template is built with Vue 3, which offers improved performance and features compared to the previous version.
• Typescript: The template includes Typescript, which adds static typing to the Vue components and enhances code quality and maintainability.
• Vite: The template utilizes Vite, a build tool that provides fast and efficient development and server-side rendering.

Installation

To set up the template, follow these steps:

• Install Visual Studio Code (VSCode) and the Vetur extension.
• Enable vetur.experimental.templateInterpolationService in the VSCode settings.
• If using <script setup>, consider using the Volar extension instead of Vetur for better IDE support.
• If TypeScript is unable to handle type information for .vue imports, shim them to be a generic Vue component type by default.
• If using Volar, toggle the Volar: Switch TS Plugin on/off from the VSCode command palette.
• If using Vetur, install and add @vuedx/typescript-plugin-vue to the plugins section in tsconfig.json.
• Delete the src/shims-vue.d.ts file as it is no longer needed to provide module info to TypeScript.
• Open the src/main.ts file in VSCode.
• Use the VSCode command palette and search for “Select TypeScript version”. Then select “Use workspace version”.

Summary
