entrypoint(install.ts):

import Print from '~/components/Print.vue'

export default {
  install: (app: any, options: any): void => {
    app.component('Print', Print)
  }
}

vite.configs.js:

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
const path = require("path")
export default defineConfig({
  build: {
    lib: {
      entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/install.ts'),
      name: 'vcp',
      fileName: (format) => `vcp.${format}.ts`,
      rollupOptions: {
        external: ['vue'],
        output: {
          globals: {
            vue: 'Vue'
          }
        }
      },
    }
  },
  plugins: [vue()],
  server: {
    port: 8080
  },
  resolve: {
    dedupe: [

CodePudding user response：

I got my answer from here, I had to export my component individually as well

install method to be able to use it with app.use() method (or vue.use() - vue2) to add component globally (install method register component by itself) and individual export for app.component() method or (vue.component() - vue2) to import component in single file

my new install.ts:

import Print from '~/components/Print.vue'

export default {
  install: (app: any, options: any): void => {
    app.component('Print', Print)
  }
}

export { Print }
