TS support

Most of the files of vuepress-theme-hope are written using TypeScript, so vuepress-theme-hope can also bring native TypeScript support to your VuePress project, you only need to set themeConfig.typescript to true so that support for typescript can be turned on.

This means you can use enhanceAppFiles.ts and use TypeScript in both your vue components and Markdown files.

To pass some custom options to ts-loader, you can also set themeConfig.typescript with an Object to pass it to ts-loader.

Tips

After enabling this theme, you no longer need to require and enable @vuepress/plugin-typescript.

Precautions

If your project does not use typescript, you may also need to install typescript:

At the same time, you need to ensure that your workspace contains a valid tsconfig.json. One of the simplest tsconfig.json is as follows:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6", // Any target not lower than 'es6'
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true, // Avoiding some issues related to vuepress-typings
    "experimentalDecorators": true, // TypeScript files for '.vue' needs this option
    "module": "commonjs", // Avoiding some issues related to vuepress-typings
    "types": ["@mr-hope/vuepress-theme-types"]
  },
  // At least one ts file should be included in the project (empty files are also acceptable)
  "include": [
    "src/.vuepress/enhanceApp.ts" // replace `src` with your doc folder
  ]
}

If you already have tsconfig.json, then you only need to add the type definition file package of vuepress-theme-hope "@mr-hope/vuepress-theme-types" to compilerOptions.types.

You should also create a ts file in your project and add it in the include option of tsconfig.json. You can create an empty enhanceApp.ts and import it.

Note

ts-loader requires tsconfig.json to hit at least one valid ts file, so the easiest way is to create or convert (if you already have enhanceAppFiles.js) an enhanceAppFiles.ts and add it in the include option
