How to make exported .d.ts files go directly in dist/... instead of dist/src/...?

If your tsconfig.json "include" is only pointing at stuff inside your src folder, it will not be included when building the type declarations.

• "include": ["./**/*.vue"] this will include src folder inside dist → dist/src
• "include": ["./src/**/*.vue"] this wont include src folder, it will emit directly into dist

--

If this gives you issues with your project setup, you can set up a separate tsconfig.json for emitting the type declarations.

eg. tsconfig.declaration.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "outDir": "dist"
  },
  "include": ["./src/**/*.vue"]
}

Then in your script you make sure that tsconfig.declaration.json is used instead.

package.json scripts:

  "generate:types": "vue-tsc --declaration --emitDeclarationOnly --project tsconfig.declaration.json",
