Top Vue State Management Libraries
Top 5 Projects Compared
TanStack Query is a powerful data fetching and state management library for web applications.
Code Example
const { data, isLoading, error } = useQuery('todos', fetchTodos)
if (isLoading) return 'Loading...'
if (error) return 'An error occurred: ' + error.message
return <div>{data.map(todo => <Todo key={todo.id} {...todo} />)}</div>
Pros
- Provides automatic caching and background updates, reducing network requests
- Offers a simple and intuitive API for managing asynchronous data
- Supports multiple frameworks including React, Vue, and Svelte
Cons
- May be overkill for simple applications with minimal data fetching needs
- Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler state management solutions like Vuex or nanostores
- Focuses primarily on data fetching, while some other libraries offer more general-purpose state management
Vuex is the official state management library for Vue.js applications, providing a centralized store for all components.
Code Example
const store = new Vuex.Store({
state: { count: 0 },
mutations: { increment(state) { state.count++ } }
})
Pros
- Deeply integrated with Vue.js, offering seamless reactivity and devtools support
- Provides a structured approach to state management with actions, mutations, and getters
- Well-documented and widely adopted in the Vue.js ecosystem
Cons
- Can be verbose for small to medium-sized applications compared to lighter alternatives like nanostores
- Lacks built-in persistence features, requiring additional plugins like vuex-persistedstate
- Not as flexible for cross-framework use compared to more generic solutions like TanStack/query
Nanostores is a tiny state management library for React, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS applications.
Code Example
import { atom } from 'nanostores'
const counter = atom(0)
counter.set(counter.get() + 1)
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and simple compared to more complex state management solutions like Vuex or TanStack Query
- Framework-agnostic, allowing for use across different frontend frameworks
- Supports atomic updates and derived stores, similar to more robust libraries like Akita or Storeon
Cons
- Lacks advanced features like built-in caching and data fetching found in TanStack Query
- Does not provide built-in persistence functionality like vuex-persistedstate
- May not be as suitable for large-scale applications compared to more comprehensive solutions like Vuex or Akita
robinvdvleuten/vuex-persistedstate is a Vuex plugin that persists and rehydrates your Vuex state between page reloads.
Code Example
import createPersistedState from 'vuex-persistedstate'
const store = new Vuex.Store({
plugins: [createPersistedState()]
})
Pros
- Seamlessly integrates with Vuex, making it easier to use than general-purpose state management libraries like TanStack/query or nanostores/nanostores.
- Provides a simple solution for persisting state, which is not a built-in feature in vuejs/vuex or other state management libraries.
- Focuses on a specific use case, making it more lightweight than full-featured admin templates like justboil/admin-one-vue-tailwind.
Cons
- Limited to Vuex ecosystem, unlike more flexible options like TanStack/query or salesforce/akita that work with various frameworks.
- Lacks advanced features found in larger state management libraries like vuejs/vuex or storeon/storeon.
- Not as versatile as UI component libraries like chakra-ui/zag or flow chart libraries like bcakmakoglu/vue-flow, which serve different purposes in application development.
TanStack/form is a powerful, type-safe, and flexible form management library for React applications.
Code Example
import { useForm } from '@tanstack/react-form'
const form = useForm({ defaultValues: { name: '', email: '' } })
const { register } = form
Pros
- Offers strong TypeScript support and type safety out of the box
- Provides a more flexible and customizable approach to form management compared to some alternatives
- Integrates well with other TanStack libraries, creating a cohesive ecosystem
Cons
- Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler form libraries
- Lacks the extensive ecosystem and community support of more established libraries like Formik or React Hook Form
- May be overkill for simple form scenarios, where a lighter solution could suffice
