+## Emitting Declaration Files
+
+As most Vue projects are built with bundlers, the default Vue TSConfig does not emit declaration files. If you are building a library or a component library, you can enable declaration file emitting by also extending `@vue/tsconfig/tsconfig.lib.json` in your `tsconfig.json`:
