+## Stricter Checks
+
+TypeScript comes with certain checks to give you more safety and analysis of your program.
+
+Once you’ve converted your codebase to TypeScript and felt familiar with, you can start enabling these checks for greater safety. ([read more](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/migrating-from-javascript.html#getting-stricter-checks))
+
+In order to enable strict type checking, you have to update `nuxt.confg`:
+
+```js
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  typescript: {
+    strict: true
+  }
+})
+```
