Unknown VueKonva Type w/ TypeScript

Question

I recently configured TypeScript for my Vue 2 project. Everything is working except for my VueKonva plugin - I receive the error below on app launch.

I tried adding "vue-konva", to types in tsconfig.json but no luck. Creating a vue-konva.d.js file also didn't help. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

Failed to compile.

The error message points correctly at your problem.

Check the project documentation on how to use VueKonva.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import VueKonva from 'vue-konva';

const app = createApp(App);
app.use(VueKonva);
app.mount('#app');

Here is the working example for Vue v3

const { createApp } = Vue 

const app = createApp({
data() {
  return {
    configKonva: {
      width: 200,
      height: 200,
    },
    configCircle: {
      x: 100,
      y: 100,
      radius: 70,
      fill: 'red',
      stroke: 'black',
      strokeWidth: 4,
    }
  }
}});
app.use(VueKonva);
app.mount('#app');

<div id="app">
  <v-stage ref="stage" :config="configKonva">
    <v-layer ref="layer">
      <v-circle :config="configCircle"></v-circle>
    </v-layer>
  </v-stage>
</div>
<!--1. Link Vue Javascript & Konva-->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/vue.global.prod.js"></script>

<!--2. Link VueKonva Javascript -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/umd/vue-konva.js"></script>

UPDATE

1. Vue v2 has no $mount method.
2. Do not put the plugin inside the App definition

Your code

new Vue({
  // this is not necessary -> VueKonva,
  render: h => h(App)
}) // this is not necessary -> .$mount("#app");

Here is the working example for Vue v2

Vue.use(VueKonva)

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data() {
    return {
      configKonva: {
        width: 200,
        height: 200,
      },
      configCircle: {
        x: 100,
        y: 100,
        radius: 70,
        fill: 'red',
        stroke: 'black',
        strokeWidth: 4,
      }
    }
  }
})

<div id="app">
  <v-stage ref="stage" :config="configKonva">
    <v-layer ref="layer">
      <v-circle :config="configCircle"></v-circle>
    </v-layer>
  </v-stage>
