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
