vite-plugin-checker

A Vite plugin that runs TypeScript, VLS, vue-tsc and other checkers in worker thread.

Features

⚡️ Speeds up TypeScirpt, VLS, etc. checkers by running in worker thread in serve mode
? Works good with vanilla TypeScript, React, Vue2, Vue3
❄️ Prompt errors in Vite HMR overlay and terminal console
? Support serve and build mode

Getting Started

Install plugin.

npm i vite-plugin-checker -D

Add it to Vite config file.

// vite.config.js
import Checker from 'vite-plugin-checker'

export default {
  plugins: [Checker({ typescript: true })],
}

Open localhost page and start development (it's recommended to open browser for a better terminal display, see #27).

Configuration

See detail options in advanced config section.

React / Vanilla TypeScript

Make sure typescript is installed as a peer dependency.
Add typescript field to plugin config.

export default {
  plugins: [Checker({ typescript: true } /** TS options */)],
}

Vue (use Vetur / VLS)

Install VLS checker.

npm i vite-plugin-checker-vls -D

Add vls field to plugin config.

import Checker from 'vite-plugin-checker'
import { VlsChecker } from 'vite-plugin-checker-vls'

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    Checker({
      vls: VlsChecker(/** advanced VLS options */),
    }),
  ],
}

Vue (use Volar / vue-tsc)

Only support checking in build mode since vue-tsc doesn't support watch mode for now.

Make sure vue-tsc is installed as a peer dependency.
Add vueTsc field to plugin config.
(Optional) The type check is powered by vue-tsc so it supports Vue2 according to the documentation, you need to install @vue/runtime-dom by yourself.

export default {
  plugins: [Checker({ vueTsc: true })],
}
