Overview

elenext is a template designed to help developers get started with Vue 3 in Vite. It provides a recommended IDE setup and offers solutions for handling type information and imports within TypeScript.

Features

• Recommended IDE Setup: The template suggests using Visual Studio Code along with Volar and TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) for an optimal development experience.
• Type Support for .vue Imports in TS: TypeScript by default cannot handle type information for .vue imports, but elenext replaces the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. It also utilizes the TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.
• Take Over Mode (Performance Enhancement): If the standalone TypeScript plugin feels slow, elenext offers a “Take Over Mode” implemented in Volar that provides improved performance. This mode can be enabled by following specific steps.

Installation

To install elenext, follow these steps:

1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension in Visual Studio Code.
