vite-plugin-typescript

library1.0.4jsnpmunverified

A thin wrapper around @rollup/plugin-typescript that improves compatibility with Vite and Vitest. Current stable version 1.0.4. Designed to fix watch mode issues when running Vitest, ensuring proper cleanup and type-safe compilation. Key differentiator: it disables esbuild for Vitest and prevents unsafe watch mode behavior, addressing a specific gap in the Vite ecosystem. Recommended for use in build mode only, not for development due to poor HMR. Depends on vite and @rollup/plugin-typescript as peer dependencies.

Verified usage

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

typescript

✓ import typescript from 'vite-plugin-typescript'

✗ const typescript = require('vite-plugin-typescript')

ESM-only; package does not provide a CommonJS export. TypeScript types are included.

default import

✓ import typescript from 'vite-plugin-typescript'

✗ import { typescript } from 'vite-plugin-typescript'

The plugin exports a default function only. Named import will result in undefined.

Example Vite config using vite-plugin-typescript only for build mode with proper conditional application.

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import typescript from 'vite-plugin-typescript'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ { ...typescript(), apply: 'build' } ] });

Debug

Known issues

gotchaPlugin does not work well with HMR in development mode; use only for build or Vitest.

fix

Apply plugin only in build mode using the `apply: 'build'` option, or conditionally for test environments.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaRequires @rollup/plugin-typescript as a peer dependency; must be installed separately.

fix

Install the peer dependency: npm install --save-dev @rollup/plugin-typescript

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaWatch mode is disabled when running in Vitest environment; this is intentional but may surprise users expecting watch mode behavior.

fix

If you need watch mode in Vitest, do not use this plugin.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

TypeError: (0 , plugin_default) is not a function

Using named import instead of default import.

fix

Use `import typescript from 'vite-plugin-typescript'` instead of `import { typescript } from 'vite-plugin-typescript'`.

Error: Cannot find module '@rollup/plugin-typescript'

Missing peer dependency @rollup/plugin-typescript.

fix

Install the peer dependency: npm install --save-dev @rollup/plugin-typescript

[vite] Internal server error: Cannot use esm in cjs mode

Trying to require an ESM-only package with require().

fix

Ensure your project is configured as ESM (type: 'module' in package.json) or use dynamic import().
