Initially, it is essential that all module extensions are directed towards the specific module defining what is being extended. This concept is exemplified in the augmentation of the vuex
module itself.
// vuex/types/vue.d.ts
declare module "vue/types/vue" {
interface Vue {
$store: Store<any>;
}
}
Your approach must mirror this one. For instance, within your types/store.d.ts
, the following structure would be appropriate:
export {} // ensuring file acts as a module
declare module "vue/types/vue" {
interface Vue {
$store: Store<any>;
}
}
This implementation will function effectively as an extension for the Vue
module. However, you may encounter another issue where modifications to variable declarations cause conflicts with existing types.
Inconsistent variable declarations have been identified. The variable '$store' has type 'Store' at `*****/how-to-retyping-master/node_modules/vuex/types/vue.d.ts 15:4, but here has type 'number'.
This conflict arises from limitations in declaration merging, specifically overlapping member declarations leading to conflicts.
Addressing this challenge proves tricky due to the import of "vuex"
preventing exclusions on imported content, including augmentations. Potential solutions involve modifying the import path for "vuex"
, or implementing an ambient external module declaration to workaround the issues. However, these approaches necessitate extensive redeclarations in files such as "vuex/types/index.d.ts"
and "vuex/types/helpers.d.ts"
, making them impractical and difficult to maintain.
