 - Array options ... Defines the API styles you want to allow. Default is `["script-setup", "composition"]`. You can use the following values.
-  - `"script-setup"` ... If set, allows `<script setup>`.
-  - `"composition"` ... If set, allows Composition API (not `<script setup>`).
+  - `"script-setup"` ... If set, allows [`<script setup>`](https://v3.vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.html).
