vite-plugin-tsc

library0.1.1jsnpmunverified

A Vite plugin that spawns an external `tsc --watch` process alongside the Vite dev server, providing TypeScript type checking without interfering with Vite's own transpilation. Current version 0.1.1. Release cadence is low (sporadic). Key differentiator: unlike fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin for webpack or vite-plugin-checker, this plugin strictly uses `tsc --watch` and deliberately avoids any bundler integration, giving a pure TypeScript checker experience. It utilizes the `configResolved` hook and is not compatible with other bundlers.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

tscPlugin

✓ import tscPlugin from 'vite-plugin-tsc'

✗ import { tscPlugin } from 'vite-plugin-tsc'

The package exports a default function. Named import will not work.

default import (tscPlugin)

✓ const tscPlugin = require('vite-plugin-tsc')

✗ const { tscPlugin } = require('vite-plugin-tsc')

In CommonJS, you must use the default export via require(). The named export does not exist.

Plugin type (TypeScript)

✓ import type { Plugin } from 'vite'

✗ import type { TscPlugin } from 'vite-plugin-tsc'

The package does not export any TypeScript types. Use Vite's Plugin type for strict typing.

Shows minimal configuration to enable tsc --watch in Vite dev server, suppressing Vite's default logs.

// vite.config.js import tscPlugin from 'vite-plugin-tsc' export default { plugins: [ tscPlugin() ], logLevel: 'silent' }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe plugin does not pass configuration options to `tsc`. It always runs `tsc --watch` with default settings.

fix

Configure `tsc` via `tsconfig.json` or command-line flags passed to the plugin if supported (currently not).

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaSetting `logLevel: 'silent'` suppresses Vite's own logs but not `tsc` output. Some Vite logs may still appear.

fix

Use `logLevel: 'silent'` as recommended, but be aware it silences Vite logs, not tsc output.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe plugin is Vite-only and will not work with other build tools (e.g., webpack, Rollup standalone).

fix

Ensure you are using Vite as the build tool. For other tools, consider fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin or other alternatives.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingThe plugin currently has no options object; calling `tscPlugin(options)` will silently ignore options.

fix

No options are supported. Future versions may accept an options object.

affects: 0.1.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'vite-plugin-tsc'

The package is not installed.

fix

Run `npm install -D vite-plugin-tsc` in your project directory.

TypeError: tscPlugin is not a function

Using named import instead of default import.

fix

Use `import tscPlugin from 'vite-plugin-tsc'` (default import) instead of `import { tscPlugin } from 'vite-plugin-tsc'`.

TypeError: (0 , vitePluginTsc_1.default) is not a function

CommonJS require() with destructuring or wrong call.

fix

Use `const tscPlugin = require('vite-plugin-tsc')` and then call `tscPlugin()`.

Cannot find name 'tscPlugin'

TypeScript config not recognizing the import; likely missing type declaration.

fix

Install `@types/node` if needed, or add `vite-plugin-tsc` to `types` in tsconfig.json.
