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()]
})By default, the generated declaration files are following the source structure.
If you want to merge all declarations into one file, just specify rollupTypes: true:
{
plugins: [dts({ rollupTypes: true })]
}Starting with 3.0.0, you can use this plugin with Rollup.
Here are some FAQ's and solutions.
This is an existing TypeScript issue where TypeScript infers types from packages located in node_modules through soft links (pnpm). A 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"]
}
}
}Refer to this issue, it's due to a limitation of @microsoft/api-extractor or TypeScript resolver.
The main reason is that baseUrl is specified in tsconfig.json and non-standard paths are used directly when imported.
For example: baseUrl: 'src' is specified and importing from <root>/src/components/index.ts in <root>/src/index.ts, and import 'components' is used instead of import './components'.
Currently, you need to avoid the above situation, or use aliases instead (with the paths option).
Legacy
By default, the skipDiagnostics option is set to true which means type diagnostics will be skipped during the build process (some projects may have diagnostic tools such as vue-tsc). Files with type errors which interrupt the build process 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. Type errors during build will be logged 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. This results in a type error.
Here is a simple example. You should remove the defineComponent in script and export a native object directly.
import type ts from 'typescript'
import type { IExtractorConfigPrepareOptions, IExtractorInvokeOptions } from '@microsoft/api-extractor'
import type { LogLevel } from 'vite'
type MaybePromise<T> = T | Promise<T>
export type RollupConfig = Omit<
IExtractorConfigPrepareOptions['configObject'],
| 'projectFolder'
| 'mainEntryPointFilePath'
| 'compiler'
| 'dtsRollup'
