DefineEmits in Vue JS

### Basic Usage
You use `defineEmits` inside the “ block of a Vue component to define the events the component can emit.

### Syntax

const emit = defineEmits(['eventName']);

Or with event type validation:

const emit = defineEmits({
  eventName: (payload) => { 
    // Validate the payload
    return typeof payload === 'string'; // Example: the payload must be a string
  }
});

### Example: Emitting an Event
Here’s an example of a component that emits an event named `custom-event`:

<script setup>
const emit = defineEmits(['custom-event']);

function handleClick() {
  emit('custom-event', 'Hello from the child component!');
}
</script>

<template>
  <button @click="handleClick">Emit Event</button>
</template>

### Example: Parent Listening to the Event

<template>
  <ChildComponent @custom-event="handleCustomEvent" />
</template>

<script>
import ChildComponent from './ChildComponent.vue';

export default {
  methods: {
    handleCustomEvent(payload) {
      console.log('Event received:', payload);
    },
  },
};
</script>

### With TypeScript
When using TypeScript, you can type the events for better type safety:

const emit = defineEmits<{
  (event: 'custom-event', payload: string): void;
}>();

function emitCustomEvent() {
  emit('custom-event', 'Typed event payload');
}

### Key Points
– `defineEmits` is only available inside the “ block.
– It helps declare and validate custom events a component emits.
– Improves maintainability and ensures consistency in event naming and payload structure.

This issue can occur due to a few reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

### 1. Check Your Imports
Make sure that you are importing the correct functions or components from Vue. If you're trying to use a function or component that doesn't exist in Vue, you'll encounter this error. Here's an example of how imports should be structured:

// Correct imports
import { ref, reactive, computed } from 'vue'; // Ensure you're importing existing functions

### 2. Update Your Dependencies
If you're using a version of Vue that may be outdated or incompatible with your project setup, you might want to update your dependencies. Run the following command to update Vue and other related packages:

npm update vue

or, if using Yarn:

yarn upgrade vue

### 3. Check Vite Configuration
Ensure your Vite configuration is correctly set up. Sometimes issues arise from misconfiguration. Look for the `vite.config.js` file and verify your settings.

### 4. Clear Cache and Rebuild
Sometimes, stale cache files can cause issues. Try clearing the cache and rebuilding your project:

# Clear Vite cache
rm -rf node_modules/.vite

# Then reinstall dependencies
npm install
# or
yarn install

# Finally, run the development server again
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

### 5. Review Vue Composition API Usage
If you're trying to use Vue's Composition API, ensure that you are using it correctly. Double-check that the functions you're using are part of the Composition API and are imported properly.

### 6. Check for Typos
Look for any typos in your code where you might have written `set` instead of the intended function name. The Vue API does not have a `set` function, but it has functions like `ref`, `reactive`, `computed`, etc.

### Example
If you're trying to create a reactive object, ensure you're using the correct functions:

import { reactive } from 'vue';

const state = reactive({
  count: 0,
});
