New approaches to state management with Vue 3's Composition API

12 Tem 01:34

Composition API makes state management much cleaner and more controllable, especially in large projects. While using the Options API before, we faced a lot of confusion in global state management (especially with Vuex's complex structure), with the Composition API, sharing reactive states directly between components has become much simpler. I particularly use Pinia a lot—it reduces the code by 70% compared to the old Vuex and provides type safety thanks to TypeScript support. Is it similar to React's Context API? Yes, but when used with Composition API's `provide/inject` mechanism, it becomes much more dynamic and flexible. The most important thing when scaling is modularity. For example, I divide the state based on domains: user auth, products, cart, etc. This way, when any modification is needed, you only touch the relevant module without messing with the global store. Still, the biggest thing to watch out for is the tendency to keep state at the component level—I try not to rely too much on global state and only use it where necessary. This is what increases sustainability: avoiding unnecessary complexity.
