Top Vue State Management Libraries
Top 5 Projects Compared
TanStack Query is a powerful data fetching and state management library for React, Vue, Svelte, and other JavaScript frameworks.
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
- Framework-agnostic, supporting multiple JavaScript libraries unlike Vuex or Nanostores
- Provides advanced caching and synchronization features out of the box, surpassing simpler state management solutions like Storeon
- Offers built-in support for server-side rendering and real-time updates, which is not a primary focus of projects like Vuex-persistedstate
Cons
- Steeper learning curve compared to simpler state management solutions like Nanostores or Storeon
- May be overkill for small projects or those with simple data requirements, unlike lightweight alternatives like Vuex
- Lacks built-in UI components, unlike Chakra UI's Zag or Ark projects, requiring separate integration with UI libraries
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 simpler alternatives like nanostores
- Lacks built-in persistence capabilities, requiring additional plugins like vuex-persistedstate
- Not as flexible for use outside of Vue.js applications compared to more generic state management solutions
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
- Seamless integration with Vuex, making it easier to use compared to standalone state management solutions like TanStack/query or nanostores/nanostores.
- Specifically designed for Vue.js ecosystem, unlike more general-purpose libraries like chakra-ui/zag or TanStack/form.
- Lightweight and focused on a single task, unlike comprehensive admin templates like justboil/admin-one-vue-tailwind.
Cons
- Limited to Vuex, while projects like storeon/storeon or salesforce/akita offer more flexibility across different frameworks.
- Lacks advanced features found in full-fledged state management libraries like vuejs/vuex or TanStack/query.
- Not as versatile as multi-purpose UI libraries like chakra-ui/ark, which offer a wider range of components and utilities.
Nanostores is a tiny state management library for React, Preact, Vue, Svelte, and vanilla JS applications.
Code Example
import { atom } from 'nanostores'
const count = atom(0)
count.subscribe(value => console.log(value))
count.set(count.get() + 1)
Pros
- Extremely lightweight compared to larger state management solutions like Vuex or TanStack Query
- Framework-agnostic, allowing for use across different frontend libraries and frameworks
- Simple API with minimal boilerplate, making it easy to learn and implement
Cons
- Lacks some advanced features found in more comprehensive libraries like TanStack Query's caching mechanisms
- May not be suitable for very large-scale applications with complex state management needs
- Less established community and ecosystem compared to more popular state management solutions
bcakmakoglu/vue-flow is a Vue 3 component library for building interactive node-based UIs and diagrams.
Code Example
<template>
<VueFlow v-model="elements" @nodeClick="onNodeClick" />
</template>
Pros
- Specifically designed for Vue 3, offering seamless integration with Vue projects
- Provides a rich set of features for creating interactive node-based interfaces
- Offers a more specialized solution for flowchart and diagram creation compared to general-purpose UI libraries
Cons
- More limited in scope compared to full-featured state management solutions like Vuex or TanStack Query
- May have a steeper learning curve for developers not familiar with node-based UI concepts
- Less suitable for projects that don't require flowchart or diagram functionality
