Hi @David. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
This warning is related to Nuxt's auto-import feature for components. The issue occurs because you have two files that are resolving to the same component name
UiLabel. Let's address this based on the information from the knowledge sources:
1. Component Naming:
Nuxt automatically imports components from the components/ directory and generates names based on the file path and name. In your case, both index.ts and Label.vue in the ui/label/ directory are being interpreted as the same component name.
2. Solution:
To resolve this, you have a few options:
a. Use a single file:
Instead of having both index.ts and Label.vue, you could combine them into a single file, preferably Label.vue.
b. Rename one of the files:
You could rename Label.vue to something more specific, like UiLabelComponent.vue, which would result in a different auto-imported name.
c. Adjust the component auto-import configuration:
You can modify how Nuxt scans and names components. Here's an example of how you might do this in your nuxt.config.ts:
This configuration tells Nuxt to use only the component's filename for naming, ignoring the directory structure. However, be cautious with this approach as it might lead to naming conflicts if you have components with the same name in different directories.
3. Additional Context:
It's worth noting that Nuxt 3.7 and later versions have improved component name normalization. If you're using an earlier version, upgrading might help resolve some naming conflicts automatically.
Nuxt Documentation on Component Auto-imports provides more details on how component auto-importing works and how to customize it.
If you need more specific guidance, you might want to review your project structure and Nuxt version to determine the best approach for your particular setup.

@kapa.ai Now I have this message :
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

This warning message is similar to the previous one, but now it's specifically about the component name "Label" instead of "UiLabel". Let's address this issue based on the information from our knowledge sources:
1. Component Naming Conflict:
The warning indicates that you have two files in your project that Nuxt is trying to register as the same component name "Label":
-
<path>/app/components/ui/label/index.ts
- <path>/app.tryfixme.com/app/components/ui/label/Label.vue
2. Possible Solutions:
a. Use a single file:
Instead of having both index.ts and Label.vue, you could combine them into a single file, preferably Label.vue.
b. Rename one of the files:
You could rename one of the files to be more specific, for example, change Label.vue to UiLabel.vue.
c. Adjust the component auto-import configuration:
You can modify how Nuxt scans and names components by updating your nuxt.config.ts. Here's an example:
This configuration tells Nuxt to use only the component's filename for naming, ignoring the directory structure. However, be cautious with this approach as it might lead to naming conflicts if you have components with the same name in different directories.
3. Nuxt's Component Resolution:
Nuxt automatically imports components from the components/ directory and generates names based on the file path and name. In your case, both index.ts and Label.vue in the ui/label/ directory are being interpreted as the same component name.
4. Recommendation:
Given that you're trying to structure your components similar to shadcn-vue, I would recommend keeping the Label.vue file and removing or renaming the index.ts file. This approach aligns better with Vue's single-file component pattern and Nuxt's auto-import feature.
If you need to export additional functionality related to the Label component, you could consider creating a separate file like labelUtils.ts instead of using index.ts.
For more detailed information on component auto-imports and how to customize them, you can refer to the Nuxt Documentation on Component Auto-imports.

if you're using the new app dir structure you have to set
componentDir: "./app/components/ui" in the shadcn configI don't use shadcn-vue
But I have found the solution :
nuxt.config.ts
That’s weird why would that be necessary?
