What is the reason behind using `Partial<>` to enclose the Vue props?

I am currently working with a combination of technologies, and I am struggling to pinpoint the root cause of the issue.

Here is the Tech Stack:

Within my component (MetadataTemplate.vue), I have defined the following props:

interface Props {
  link: Link
  type: 'link' | 'collection'
  showSuccess?: Function
  refresh?: Function
  displayButtons?: boolean
}

const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
  type: 'link',
  refresh: () => {}
})

It's important to note that type is a mandatory property. However, when using the code snippet below, a TypeScript error occurs:

<MetadataTemplate
  :type="pageType"
  :link="link"
/>

The variable pageType has a type of 'link' | 'collection'. Surprisingly, TypeScript (Volar) throws the following error message:

Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"collection" | "link" | undefined'.ts(2322)

MetadataTemplate.vue(33, 3): The expected type comes from property 'type' which is declared here on type 'Partial<{ type: "collection" | "link"; refresh: Function; }> & Omit<Readonly<ExtractPropTypes<__VLS_WithDefaults<__VLS_TypePropsToRuntimeProps<Props>, { ...; }>>> & VNodeProps & AllowedComponentProps & ComponentCustomProps, DefaultKeys<...>> & Record<...>'

This behavior seems to be related to exporting the props as Partial. Is this standard behavior for Vue / TypeScript or something specific to Volar? I am puzzled by what could be causing the translation of props into Partial props.

Answer №1

After some investigation, I believe I have identified the issue.

Contrary to what @zenly suggested, the Partial was not to blame for the error. The actual problem stemmed from Volar / TypeScript incorrectly determining the type of pageType in VSCode as 'link' | 'collection', when in reality it was not exclusively one of those types. This discrepancy occurred because Vue's language services failed to accurately infer the type of pageType before it was linked to the template (resulting in a generic string inference).

To address this issue, I took the necessary step of explicitly defining pageType as the appropriate type.
