TypeScript

• Basic Usage
• Example TSConfig
• Usage With Vue

Basic Usage

mix.ts('src/app.ts', 'dist');

// Alias
mix.typeScript('src/app.ts', 'dist');

TypeScript support in Mix is built on top of the existing mix.js() feature set. In fact, it's as simple as updating your mix.js() calls to mix.ts(). Doing so will trigger the installation of all necessary TypeScript packages, as well as an update to the generated webpack configuration to add the necessary ts-loader webpack loader.

Example TSConfig

Of course, you'll still want to make any appropriate TypeScript-specific tweaks, such as creating a tsconfig.json file in your project root, and potentially installing DefinitelyTyped. Here's an example tsconfig.json file to get you started.

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext",
    "module": "esnext",
    "allowJs": true,
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true
  },
  "include": ["resources/js"]
}

Refer here for a full list of supported options.

Usage With Vue

Enabling TypeScript compilation within your Vue single file components is a cinch. Begin by updating your webpack.mix.js file to specify that you wish to compile TypeScript while also enabling support for Vue single file components.

mix.ts('resources/js/app.ts', 'public/js').vue();

Next, update your single file component(s) to allow TypeScript to infer types.

Using Vue 2

<script lang="ts">
    // resources/js/components/greet.vue

    // use Vue.extend to enable type inference
    export default Vue.extend({
      data () {
        return {
          message: 'Hello'
        }
      },

      computed: {
        greeting(): string {
          return this.greet() + '!'
        }
      },

      methods: {
        greet(): string {
          return this.message + ' world'
        }
      }
    });
</script>

Using Vue 3

<script lang="ts">
    // resources/js/components/greet.vue

    import { defineComponent } from "vue";

    // use defineComponent to enable type inference
    export default defineComponent({
      data () {
        return {
          message: 'Hello'
        }
      },

      computed: {
        greeting(): string {
          return this.greet() + '!'
        }
      },

      methods: {
        greet(): string {
          return this.message + ' world'
        }
      }
    });
</script>

And that should do it!
