How to type the nuxt module?

I use this command "nuxt-module-build prepare && nuxi dev playground" to develop the entire part of the module, but nothing is typed, even "#components" is not able to obtain the components. Did I do something wrong?

Hi @Cesxhin. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address your question about typing in Nuxt modules, it seems there might be a few steps you can take to improve type support. Here's what you can try based on the information from the knowledge sources: 1. Generate type stubs: Before running your development commands, make sure to generate type stubs. As mentioned in the Nuxt UI contributing guide (https://ui.nuxt.com/getting-started/contributing), you can run:

   pnpm run dev:prepare

   pnpm run dev:prepare

This step helps generate necessary type information. 2. Create a tsconfig.json file: In your module's root directory, create a tsconfig.json file that extends the auto-generated types. According to the Nitro TypeScript guide (https://nitro.unjs.io/guide/typescript), you can do this:

   {
     "extends": "./.nitro/types/tsconfig.json"
   }

   {
     "extends": "./.nitro/types/tsconfig.json"
   }

3. Use the prepare command: As mentioned in the Nitro TypeScript guide (https://nitro.unjs.io/guide/typescript), you can use the prepare command to auto-generate types:

   npx nitro prepare

   npx nitro prepare

For Nuxt specifically, you should use nuxi prepare instead. 4. Enable type checking: In your nuxt.config.ts file, you can enable type checking as suggested in a GitHub issue comment (https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/issues/22421):

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     typescript: {
       typeCheck: true,
     },
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     typescript: {
       typeCheck: true,
     },
   })

5. Use addTypeTemplate: When creating a Nuxt module, you can add type templates to ensure proper typing. Here's an example from the Nuxt Kit documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/kit/templates#examples-1):

   import { addTypeTemplate, defineNuxtModule } from "@nuxt/kit"
export default defineNuxtModule({
     setup() {
       addTypeTemplate({
         filename: "types/your-module.d.ts",
         getContents: () => `
           // Your type definitions here
         `
       })
     }
   })

   import { addTypeTemplate, defineNuxtModule } from "@nuxt/kit"
export default defineNuxtModule({
     setup() {
       addTypeTemplate({
         filename: "types/your-module.d.ts",
         getContents: () => `
           // Your type definitions here
         `
       })
     }
   })

If you've followed these steps and are still experiencing issues with typing, particularly with #components, it might be worth checking if your module is properly set up to expose components. You may need to configure your module to scan for components or add them explicitly. Remember that developing Nuxt modules can be complex, and if you're still facing difficulties, you might want to consult the Nuxt documentation on creating modules (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/modules) or seek help from the Nuxt community. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai I created one component "btnComponent.vue", how remove component when import?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer guidance on how to remove a component from auto-imports in Nuxt. Here's how you can approach this: 1. Disable auto-imports for specific components: If you want to prevent a specific component from being auto-imported, you can move it out of the components/ directory. Nuxt automatically imports components from the components/ directory, as mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on auto-imported components (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/auto-imports#auto-imported-components). 2. Disable auto-imports globally: If you want to disable auto-imports for all components, you can modify your nuxt.config.ts file. Add the following configuration:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     components: {
       dirs: []
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     components: {
       dirs: []
     }
   })

This will prevent Nuxt from auto-importing components from the components/ directory, as explained in the Nuxt documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/auto-imports#auto-imported-components). 3. Use a custom directory structure: You can also create a custom directory structure and configure Nuxt to scan only specific directories for components. This allows you to keep some components auto-imported while excluding others. Here's an example configuration from the Nuxt documentation on custom directories (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/components#custom-directories):

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     components: [
       // Only auto-import components from this directory
       '~/components/auto-import',
       // Exclude your btnComponent.vue by not including its directory
     ]
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     components: [
       // Only auto-import components from this directory
       '~/components/auto-import',
       // Exclude your btnComponent.vue by not including its directory
     ]
   })

This way, you can move your btnComponent.vue to a different directory that's not included in the auto-import configuration. Remember, after making these changes, you'll need to manually import the btnComponent.vue in files where you want to use it:

<script setup>
import BtnComponent from './path/to/btnComponent.vue'
</script>

<script setup>
import BtnComponent from './path/to/btnComponent.vue'
</script>

By implementing one of these approaches, you can effectively remove the auto-import functionality for your btnComponent.vue or any other components as needed. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
