I’ve been stumbling over issues with Vue and TypeScript tooling playing nice.

Seems like the issues I hit either have open issues or I can’t find reasonable solutions. Most recently I tried to convert a Vue app to TS and never could figure out what knobs to turn (even copying over configs from a new, clean run of vue create didn’t work).

Have you had similar troubles or have you always been able to set up a clean project?

The last time I tried, I used vue-cli to initialise the project and it “just worked” in that sense. Converting an existing JS app might be a bit trickier though - I guess you can specify at a per-component level what they’re implemented in via the script lang attribute. So basically I would go with: latest TypeScript, latest Yarn, latest Vue CLI, initialise a bank TS project, add some basic components to check everything works, move your old app components over one-by-one.

If you happen to check your replies - curious why you would pick yarn over npm or pnpm in 2020.
