Top Vue State Management Libraries

Top 5 Projects Compared

TanStack Query (formerly React 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

  • Framework-agnostic, supporting React, Vue, Svelte, and more
  • Provides advanced caching and synchronization features out of the box
  • Offers a simple and intuitive API for managing server state

Cons

  • Steeper learning curve compared to simpler state management solutions like Vuex or nanostores
  • May be overkill for small projects or those with simple data requirements
  • Focuses primarily on server state, requiring additional solutions for client-side 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 smaller 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 as some alternatives 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 states, similar to more robust libraries

Cons

  • Less feature-rich compared to larger state management libraries like TanStack Query or Vuex
  • Lacks built-in persistence capabilities found in projects like vuex-persistedstate
  • May not be suitable for large-scale applications with complex state management needs

TanStack/form is a powerful, type-safe, and flexible form management library for React, Vue, and Svelte applications.

Code Example

import { useForm } from '@tanstack/react-form'

const form = useForm({ defaultValues: { name: '' } })
const { Field } = form

Pros

  • Offers a unified API across multiple frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte)
  • Provides strong TypeScript support for type-safe form handling
  • Highly performant with minimal re-renders

Cons

  • Steeper learning curve compared to simpler form libraries
  • Less mature compared to some other state management solutions like Vuex or TanStack Query
  • May be overkill for simple form scenarios

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 automatic state persistence, which is not a built-in feature in vuejs/vuex or salesforce/akita.
  • Lightweight and focused on a specific task, unlike more comprehensive solutions like justboil/admin-one-vue-tailwind.

Cons

  • Limited to Vuex ecosystem, unlike more flexible options like storeon/storeon or nanostores/nanostores.
  • Lacks advanced features found in TanStack/query, such as automatic data synchronization and caching.
  • Not as versatile as full UI component libraries like chakra-ui/zag or bcakmakoglu/vue-flow for building complex interfaces.
