babel-preset-typescript-vue2 v1.1.1

babel-preset-typescript-vue

TypeScript preset for Babel 7.x supporting Vue.js components written in TS. A drop-in replacement for @babel/preset-typescript.

Why?

This preset was created to support TypeScript transpilation using Babel (not Microsoft TypeScript), also for TypeScript-based Vue.js Single File Components (SFC), without enforced TS-to-JS transpilation for all files (which can be achieved by adding @babel/plugin-transform-typescript to your Babel config).

Due to architectural limitations of vue-loader the original @babel/preset-typescript preset was always assuming that the <script> section of Vue SFC was written in JavaScript. This wasn't an issue when webpack was using different loaders for .js and .ts files. Since Babel unifies that, vue-loader is always passing this file to babel-loader with an original filename (and a resourceQuery which is not accessible from the transpiling preset). Since preset-typescript was transpiling files with .ts and .tsx extensions, not .vue, SFCs were ignored and reported errors during ES6 to ES5 transpilation.

Most likely in the future, this won't be no longer needed if vue-loader will consider also Babel transpilation. As for this is the only friendly way to resolve the issue.

How?

This preset checks whether the .vue file (SFC) has a lang="ts" attribute set for the <script> tag. If so, @babel/plugin-transform-typescript is applied explicitly to the SFC file.

Options

All the options match the original @babel/preset-typescript preset options.
