One of components in my Vuejs based project has the following mounted method
mounted() {
try {
let x = 'abc';
console.log(x);
let body = <HTMLElement> document.querySelector("body");
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
where the compilation (i-e vue-cli-service lint file_path) is failing with error
Parsing error: Unexpected token, expected "}"
console.log(e);
......................^
My eslintrc.js looks like this (with babel-eslint as the parser)
module.exports = {
root: true,
env: {
node: true,
},
extends: [
'plugin:vue/essential',
],
rules: {
quotes: ['error', 'single']
},
parserOptions: {
parser: 'babel-eslint',
}
};

What could be causing this issue ? Btw, running eslint file_path gives the same error.
According to Typescript Documentation,
...when using TypeScript with JSX, only as-style assertions are allowed.
(Meaning angle-bracket-style assertions are not allowed).
Even though JSX usage in Vue is rare, Vue is JSX compatible. Meaning you have to limit your type assertions to as-style. In other words, replace
let body = <HTMLElement> document.querySelector("body");
with either
const body = document.querySelector("body") as HTMLElement;
or
const body: HTMLElement = document.querySelector("body");
Note: replacing let
with const
is irrelevant for the question being asked, but if you never reassign to body
, you should use const
.
