Motivation

This library was introduces to prevent TypeScript from complaining when arbitrary values are assigned to this in created lifecycle hook.

Before

import Vue from 'vue'

export default Vue.extend({
  name: 'Component',
  created() {
    // Property 'foo' does not exist on type ...
    this.foo = 'foo'
  },
})

After

import Vue from 'vue'
import type { WithProperties } from 'vue-typed-properties'

export default (
  Vue as WithProperties<{
    foo: 'foo'
  }>
).extend({
  name: 'Component',
  created() {
    this.foo = 'foo'
  },
})
