> I guess this is targeting the vuejs crowd

Vue is written in TS and has first-class support for it, even at the template layer.

Vue with SFCs is not actually typescript because typescript can not parse the SFC syntax, you need a forked typescript called `vue-tsc` for that.

Shows what a hack vue really is.

Only since Vue 3 though, and the types are still not as good as React.

▲epolanski 3 days ago | parent [-]

Vue 3 has 6 years at this point.

Also, could you expand on the fact that types are "still not as good" as React?

Can you make an example?

▲IshKebab 3 days ago | parent [-]

Sadly not because it's been about 6 years since I looked at it! (We ended up switching to React.)

IIRC it's pretty close, but you'll still end up writing things like `{ type: String, required: false }` where in React you'd just write `string | undefined`.

I'm sure I would find many more issues if I was using it in anger, because it's building on a foundation that didn't have Typescript in mind. E.g. see this thread:

In Vue you also write `string | undefined` since Vue 3.

Also note that the thread you linked is 4 years old.

I took that example from the current official Vue 3 docs: https://vuejs.org/guide/typescript/overview#general-usage-no...

So 2 years into Vue 3. Has anything changed?

I mean it's not bad enough to be a dealbreaker any more like it was with Vue 2. The real dealbreaker is still the reactivity system which leads to spaghetti very quickly.

Yes, that API also exists as compatibility with the Options API, but this is what you should use:

Yes, e.g. templates are type-checked now. If you have specific things that aren't supposed to work, please list them.

I've had much better experiences with Vue than with React in this regard.
