unplugin-auto-import-api

Auto import APIs on-demand for Vite, Webpack and Rollup

without

import { computed, ref } from 'vue'
const count = ref(0)
const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2)

with

const count = ref(0)
const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2)

Install

npm i -D unplugin-auto-import-api

// vite.config.ts
import AutoImport from 'unplugin-auto-import-api/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    AutoImport({ /* options */ }),
  ],
})

Example: playground/

// rollup.config.js
import AutoImport from 'unplugin-auto-import-api/rollup'

export default {
  plugins: [
    AutoImport({ /* options */ }),
    // other plugins
  ],
}

// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
  /* ... */
  plugins: [
    require('unplugin-auto-import-api/webpack')({ /* options */ }),
  ],
}

You don't need this plugin for Nuxt, it's already builtin.

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  configureWebpack: {
    plugins: [
      require('unplugin-auto-import-api/webpack')({ /* options */ }),
    ],
  },
}

// quasar.conf.js [Vite]
module.exports = {
  vitePlugins: [
    ['unplugin-auto-import-api/vite', { /* options */ }],
  ],
}

// quasar.conf.js [Webpack]
const AutoImportPlugin = require('unplugin-auto-import-api/webpack')

module.exports = {
  build: {
    chainWebpack(chain) {
      chain.plugin('unplugin-auto-import-api').use(
        AutoImportPlugin({ /* options */ }),
      )
    },
  },
}

// esbuild.config.js
import { build } from 'esbuild'

build({
  /* ... */
  plugins: [
    require('unplugin-auto-import-api/esbuild')({
      /* options */
    }),
  ],
})

// astro.config.mjs
import AutoImport from 'unplugin-auto-import-api/astro'

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    AutoImport({
      /* options */
    })
  ],
})

  // Enable auto import by filename for default module exports under directories

  // Filepath to generate corresponding .d.ts file.

  // Set `false` to disable.
  dts: './auto-imports.d.ts',

  // Auto import inside Vue template

  // Custom resolvers, compatible with `unplugin-vue-components`
  // see https://github.com/antfu/unplugin-auto-import/pull/23/
  resolvers: [

  // Generate corresponding .eslintrc-auto-import.json file.

    filepath: './.eslintrc-auto-import.json', // Default `./.eslintrc-auto-import.json`
    globalsPropValue: true, // Default `true`, (true | false | 'readonly' | 'readable' | 'writable' | 'writeable')
  },
})

Refer to the type definitions for more options.

TypeScript

In order to properly hint types for auto-imported APIs

1. Enable options.dts so that auto-imports.d.ts file is automatically generated
2. Make sure auto-imports.d.ts is not excluded in tsconfig.json

AutoImport({
  dts: true // or a custom path
})
