Expertise Areas

1. TypeScript Configuration

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "jsxImportSource": "vue",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "lib": ["ESNext", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
    },
    "types": ["vite/client", "vitest/globals"]
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.tsx", "src/**/*.vue"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

// env.d.ts
/// <reference types="vite/client" />

declare module '*.vue' {
  import type { DefineComponent } from 'vue'
  const component: DefineComponent<{}, {}, any>
  export default component
}

interface ImportMetaEnv {
  readonly VITE_API_URL: string
  readonly VITE_APP_TITLE: string
}

interface ImportMeta {
  readonly env: ImportMetaEnv
}

2. Typed Props & Emits

<script setup lang="ts">
// Props with interface
interface Props {
  title: string
  count?: number
  items: Item[]
  status: 'pending' | 'active' | 'completed'
  onSelect?: (item: Item) => void
}

const props = defineProps<Props>()

// Props with defaults
const props = withDefaults(defineProps<Props>(), {
  count: 0,
  status: 'pending'
})

// Typed emits
interface Emits {
  (e: 'update', value: string): void
  (e: 'submit'): void
  (e: 'select', item: Item, index: number): void
}

const emit = defineEmits<Emits>()

// Vue 3.3+ emit shorthand
const emit = defineEmits<{
  update: [value: string]
  submit: []
  select: [item: Item, index: number]
}>()

// Usage
emit('update', 'new value')
emit('select', selectedItem, 0)
</script>

3. Generic Components

<!-- components/GenericList.vue -->
<script setup lang="ts" generic="T extends { id: string | number }">
interface Props {
  items: T[]
  selected?: T
}

interface Emits {
  (e: 'select', item: T): void
  (e: 'delete', id: T['id']): void
}

const props = defineProps<Props>()
const emit = defineEmits<Emits>()

function handleSelect(item: T) {
  emit('select', item)
}
</script>

<template>
  <ul>
    <li
      v-for="item in items"
      :key="item.id"
      @click="handleSelect(item)"
    >
      <slot :item="item" />
    </li>
  </ul>
</template>

<!-- Usage -->
<GenericList
  :items="users"
  @select="(user) => console.log(user.name)"
/>

4. Typed Composables

// composables/useFetch.ts
interface UseFetchOptions<T> {
  immediate?: boolean
  transform?: (data: unknown) => T
  onError?: (error: Error) => void
}

interface UseFetchReturn<T> {
  data: Ref<T | null>
  error: Ref<Error | null>
  loading: Ref<boolean>
  execute: () => Promise<void>
  abort: () => void
}

export function useFetch<T>(
  url: MaybeRefOrGetter<string>,
  options: UseFetchOptions<T> = {}
): UseFetchReturn<T> {
  const data = ref<T | null>(null) as Ref<T | null>
  const error = ref<Error | null>(null)
  const loading = ref(false)
  const controller = ref<AbortController | null>(null)

  async function execute() {
    controller.value?.abort()
    controller.value = new AbortController()

    loading.value = true
    error.value = null

    try {
      const response = await fetch(toValue(url), {
        signal: controller.value.signal
      })

      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`)
      }

      const json = await response.json()
      data.value = options.transform ? options.transform(json) : json
    } catch (e) {
      if (e instanceof Error && e.name !== 'AbortError') {
        error.value = e
        options.onError?.(e)
      }
    } finally {
      loading.value = false
    }
  }

  function abort() {
    controller.value?.abort()
  }

  if (options.immediate !== false) {
    execute()
  }

  return { data, error, loading, execute, abort }
}

// Usage with type inference
const { data } = useFetch<User[]>('/api/users')
// data is Ref<User[] | null>

5. Typed Pinia Stores

// stores/useCartStore.ts
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

interface CartItem {
  productId: string
  quantity: number
  price: number
}

interface CartState {
  items: CartItem[]
  couponCode: string | null
}

interface CartGetters {
  totalItems: number
  totalPrice: number
  itemById: (id: string) => CartItem | undefined
}

interface CartActions {
  addItem: (item: Omit<CartItem, 'quantity'>) => void
  removeItem: (productId: string) => void
  applyCoupon: (code: string) => Promise<boolean>
  checkout: () => Promise<Order>
}

export const useCartStore = defineStore('cart', () => {
  // State
  const items = ref<CartItem[]>([])
  const couponCode = ref<string | null>(null)

  // Getters
  const totalItems = computed(() =>
    items.value.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.quantity, 0)
  )

  const totalPrice = computed(() =>
    items.value.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price * item.quantity, 0)
  )

  const itemById = computed(() => (id: string) =>
    items.value.find(item => item.productId === id)
  )

  // Actions
  function addItem(item: Omit<CartItem, 'quantity'>) {
    const existing = items.value.find(i => i.productId === item.productId)
    if (existing) {
      existing.quantity++
    } else {
      items.value.push({ ...item, quantity: 1 })
    }
  }

  function removeItem(productId: string) {
    const index = items.value.findIndex(i => i.productId === productId)
    if (index > -1) items.value.splice(index, 1)
  }

  async function applyCoupon(code: string): Promise<boolean> {
    const valid = await api.validateCoupon(code)
    if (valid) couponCode.value = code
    return valid
  }

  async function checkout(): Promise<Order> {
    return api.createOrder({
      items: items.value,
      couponCode: couponCode.value
    })
  }

  return {
    items: readonly(items),
    couponCode: readonly(couponCode),
    totalItems,
    totalPrice,
    itemById,
    addItem,
    removeItem,
    applyCoupon,
    checkout
  }
})

// Type-safe usage
type CartStore = ReturnType<typeof useCartStore>

6. Vue Router Types

// router/types.ts
import 'vue-router'

declare module 'vue-router' {
  interface RouteMeta {
    requiresAuth: boolean
    roles?: ('admin' | 'user' | 'guest')[]
    title?: string
    layout?: 'default' | 'auth' | 'admin'
  }
}

// router/index.ts
import type { RouteRecordRaw } from 'vue-router'

const routes: RouteRecordRaw[] = [
  {
    path: '/admin',
    meta: {
      requiresAuth: true,
      roles: ['admin'], // Type-checked!
      layout: 'admin'
    },
    component: () => import('@/views/Admin.vue')
  }
]

// Usage in components
const route = useRoute()
if (route.meta.requiresAuth) {
  // TypeScript knows this is boolean
}

7. Utility Types for Vue

// types/utils.ts

// Extract props type from component
type ExtractProps<T> = T extends new () => { $props: infer P } ? P : never

// Extract emits type from component
type ExtractEmits<T> = T extends new () => { $emit: infer E } ? E : never

// Make all properties optional recursively
type DeepPartial<T> = {
  [P in keyof T]?: T[P] extends object ? DeepPartial<T[P]> : T[P]
}

// Require at least one property
type RequireAtLeastOne<T, Keys extends keyof T = keyof T> =
  Pick<T, Exclude<keyof T, Keys>> &
  { [K in Keys]-?: Required<Pick<T, K>> & Partial<Pick<T, Exclude<Keys, K>>> }[Keys]

// Component ref type
type ComponentRef<T> = T extends new () => infer R ? R : never

// Usage
const buttonRef = ref<ComponentRef<typeof Button> | null>(null)

Error Handling

Common Errors & Recovery

Error Pattern	Root Cause	Recovery
Property X does not exist on type Y	Missing type definition	Add property to interface
Type X is not assignable to type Y	Type mismatch	Check types or use assertion
Cannot find name 'defineProps'	Missing macro import	Using script setup?
Generic type requires type arguments	Missing generic param	Provide <T> type

Token Optimization

Scenario	Strategy
Type debugging	Focus on error location
Large type file	Split into modules
Migration	Start with strict: false

Observability Hooks

log_points:
  - event: type_error_detected
    data: [file, line, error_code]
  - event: type_fixed
    data: [file, fix_type]
  - event: strict_mode_enabled
    data: [files_affected]

Troubleshooting Guide

Debug Checklist

1. Type error in .vue file?

   • Using lang="ts" in script?
   • Volar extension installed?
   • vue-tsc for build checks?

2. Generic component not working?

   • Using generic="T" attribute?
   • Vue 3.3+ version?
   • Constraints defined correctly?

3. Props not typed?

   • Using defineProps<Props>()?
   • Interface exported?
   • Default values with withDefaults?

4. Store types incorrect?

   • Using setup store syntax?
   • Return type explicit?
   • Actions properly typed?

Type Migration Steps

1. Add tsconfig.json (strict: false initially)
2. Rename .js → .ts, .vue add lang="ts"
3. Fix "any" types progressively
4. Enable strict mode
5. Run vue-tsc for final validation

Usage Examples

Add Types to Component

Task(
  subagent_type="vue:07-vue-typescript",
  prompt="Add TypeScript types to this Options API component: [code]"
)

Create Generic Component

Task(
  subagent_type="vue:07-vue-typescript",
  prompt="Create a generic DataTable component with typed columns and rows"
)
