Vue Component Lacks Template/Render Function After Migrating to TypeScript

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

After adding TypeScript to my Vue project, I now encounter the error "Component is missing template or render function." This error appears even though my components include a template.

Here are the relevant code snippets:

My router file (router.ts):

TYPESCRIPT
import { createRouter, createWebHistory, RouteRecordRaw } from 'vue-router'
import TicketsList from './../pages/TicketsList.vue'
import UserCart from './../pages/UserCart.vue'

const routes: Array<RouteRecordRaw> = [
  { path: '/', redirect: '/tickets' },
  { path: '/tickets', component: TicketsList },
  { path: '/cart', component: UserCart },
]

const router = createRouter({
  history: createWebHistory(process.env.BASE_URL),
  routes
})

export default router

My component:

VUE
<template>
  <div class="container mt-5">
    <div class="row row-cols-1 row-cols-md-2 row-cols-xl-3 g-4">
      <div v-for="(ticket) in tickets" :key="ticket.id" class="col">
        <ticket-item
            :id="ticket.id"
            :title="ticket.eventName"
            :image="ticket.imagePath"
            :date="ticket.date"
            :ticketType="ticket.ticketType"
            :price="ticket.price"
        ></ticket-item>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { onMounted, computed } from 'vue';
import { useStore } from 'vuex';
import TicketItem from '../components/tickets/TicketItem.vue';
console.log(111);
const store = useStore();

const tickets = computed(() => store.getters['ticket/tickets']);

onMounted(() => {
  console.log(store);
  store.dispatch('ticket/getTickets');
  store.dispatch('cart/getCart');
});
</script>

My app file (app.ts):

TYPESCRIPT
import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import { createStore } from 'vuex';
import router from './router';
import Tickets from './components/store/tickets';
import Cart from './components/store/cart';

const app = createApp(App);
const store = createStore({
    modules: {
        ticket: Tickets,
        cart: Cart,
    },
});

app.use(router);
app.use(store);
app.mount('#app');

I don't see any errors in the console and Vue Devtools only shows this component error. I'm using webpack, but I don't think that's related. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Below are a few potential resolution steps and checks to help you troubleshoot your TypeScript conversion:

1. Add a Vue SFC Type Declaration

When using TypeScript with Vue, you must declare how to import .vue files. In your project’s source directory, add a file named shims-vue.d.ts with the following content:

TYPESCRIPT
declare module '*.vue' {
  import { DefineComponent } from 'vue';
  const component: DefineComponent<{}, {}, any>;
  export default component;
}

Ensure your tsconfig.json’s include option covers this file (for example, include "src/**/*.vue" or use an appropriate glob pattern).

2. Verify process.env.BASE_URL

Your router uses process.env.BASE_URL as the history base. With a TypeScript build and webpack, make sure that:

Your webpack configuration defines the environment variable (or use a runtime alternative).
If you’re not using a default, you might try hardcoding a base (e.g. createWebHistory('/')) to verify whether the issue is related to this variable.

3. Vuex Store Typing Considerations

Since you’re importing the store without TS type helpers, TypeScript can accept it but you might run into issues if your getters or dispatch payload types don’t match. Although your code looks fine, verify that your store modules (Tickets and Cart) are exporting valid Vuex modules. You can also improve type safety in your store by adding types for the state, getters, and actions if desired.

4. Confirm Your Build Setup

Since you mentioned using Webpack, double-check your webpack configuration when adding TypeScript. Ensure that:

The ts-loader (or Vue’s recommended loader) is set up.
.ts and .vue files are included.
There are no silent compilation errors.

5. Debugging Steps

Console Logs: You have console.log(111) and logging in onMounted; double-check if these appear. If not, verify that the component is mounted.
Devtools: Make sure your Vue Devtools are updated and properly show the app hierarchy.
Store Dispatch: Add a catch or additional log in your store’s actions (in Tickets and Cart) to see if they’re being triggered correctly.

By checking these points one by one, you should be able to isolate the issue that appeared after you introduced TypeScript into your Vue project. Let me know if you need further clarification on any of these steps!
