Extract Component Props
Impact: HIGH - extract props, emits, slots types from .vue components
Use vue-component-type-helpers to extract types from .vue components:
npm install -D vue-component-type-helpers
import type { ComponentProps, ComponentEmit, ComponentSlots, ComponentExposed } from 'vue-component-type-helpers'
import MyButton from './MyButton.vue'
type Props = ComponentProps<typeof MyButton>
type Emits = ComponentEmit<typeof MyButton>
type Slots = ComponentSlots<typeof MyButton>
type Exposed = ComponentExposed<typeof MyButton>
Wrapper Component Pattern
import type { ComponentProps } from 'vue-component-type-helpers'
import BaseButton from './BaseButton.vue'
type BaseProps = ComponentProps<typeof BaseButton>
interface Props extends BaseProps {
size: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'
}
defineProps<Props>()
Do NOT Use
// ❌ Includes Vue internal properties (onUpdate:*, class, style, etc.)
type Props = InstanceType<typeof MyButton>['$props']
Note
Vue's built-in ExtractPropTypes is for runtime props objects (props: { foo: String }), not for .vue components.
