TypeScript auto-import errors

How do I make TypeScript ignore the auto-imports?

Hi @jd. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To address TypeScript auto-import errors in Nuxt, there are a few approaches you can consider: 1. Use the #imports alias: Nuxt exposes auto-imports with the #imports alias, which can be used to make imports explicit if needed. This can help resolve TypeScript errors:

   import { ref, computed } from '#imports'

   import { ref, computed } from '#imports'

Auto-imports documentation provides more details on this approach. 2. Extend the TypeScript configuration: Create a tsconfig.json file in your project root that extends the Nuxt-generated configuration:

   {
     "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json"
   }

   {
     "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json"
   }

This approach is recommended in the tsconfig.json documentation. 3. Disable auto-imports: If you prefer to manage imports manually, you can disable auto-imports in your nuxt.config.ts:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     imports: {
       autoImport: false
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     imports: {
       autoImport: false
     }
   })

This option is described in the Auto-imports documentation. It's important to note that these solutions may have different impacts on your development workflow. The first two options are generally recommended as they maintain the benefits of auto-imports while resolving TypeScript errors. Disabling auto-imports entirely should be considered carefully as it may increase the amount of manual import management required. If you're still experiencing issues after trying these approaches, it might be worth checking if there are any conflicts with other TypeScript configurations or plugins in your project. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I don't want to remove the auto-imports, I just want TypeScript to not throw errors for them

Did you find a reasonable resolution to your issue? I would be interested in knowing what it was. I am having issues with things like defineProps and defineEmits not being auto imported. When I add explicit import for them I get the error that 'vue' can't be found. New project, created for Nuxt v3.16.1

For me, it was more about the TypeScript errors Adding this to the tsconfig fixed it:

{
  ...
  "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json",
  ...
}

{
  ...
  "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json",
  ...
}
