Question

I created a new vue project and after that i added vuetify,

$ vue create my-app
$ cd my-app
$ vue add vuetify
$ npm run serve

then i got this error

ERROR in /home/ruhith/Documents/vue/file upload/fileupload/src/plugins/vuetify.ts(2,21):
2:21 Could not find a declaration file for module 'vuetify/lib'. '/home/ruhith/Documents/vue/file upload/fileupload/node_modules/vuetify/lib/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm install @types/vuetify` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'vuetify/lib';`

You need to add vuetify's types to tsconfig.json, like this:

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["vuetify"]
  }
}
