Vue.Draggable VS pinia-plugin-persistedstate

Vue Draggable is a library I seem to use constantly. If you need draggabilty then it’s a nice one to have. Changed a bit for vue 3 but still very useful.

U might search for something like this https://github.com/SortableJS/Vue.Draggable

Check out this example https://github.com/SortableJS/Vue.Draggable/blob/master/example/components/two-lists.vue

If you're using Vue JS for a while then you have probably used some plugins with it as well. For example the Vue Router is a plugin. And there are many other useful plugins available like vue-infinite-loading, vuedraggable etc. But sometimes you might not have a plugin available for your need in that case you'd have to write your own plugin. And guess what? To create a Vue plugin all you have to do is create a JavaScript file that exports a object with a install method in it. So inside the src folder let's create a folder called plugins and inside that will have a JavaScript file named MyPlugin.js

The output should look something like this But the list is not sortable so let make is sortable now. To do that we are going to use Vue.Draggable so install it by running npm i vuedraggable. Now you can import it and use it like a component. So to make our list sortable we simply have to wrap our list with draggable and we also have to use our todos for its v-model

But if you're looking for Vue specific solution, you can take a look at Vue.Draggable - VueJS 2 version, Vue 3 version which is also based on SortableJS library.

They might have used something like this for the list drag and drop.

Maybe look at the nested list function of https://github.com/SortableJS/Vue.Draggable

Maybe check out vue sortable instead of draggable. I think it covers your needs and it works with one wrap around your components. https://github.com/SortableJS/Vue.Draggable

If you use a standard Pinia store, you can use plug-ins. For example, you can use pinia-plugin-persistedstate to let the user start each new session where they left off. Or you can use pinia-orm to simplify handling large amounts of tabular data.

How about this plugin, then?: https://github.com/prazdevs/pinia-plugin-persistedstate.

When your application starts, fill your Pinia/Vuex store with data from the user's previous session. This is done automatically by pinia-plugin-persistedstate or the Vuex equivalent.

pinia-plugin-persistedstate: keeps your Pinia store synced with the user's browser localStorage. In other words, if your user closes their browser and then returns to your Vue app later, they will have the same state as when they left.

You also mentioned that the positions should be stored in localStorage. I would store the positions in Pinia, and then add the pinia-plugin-persistedstate plug-in. It's one import statement and one line of code to add that plugin, and then your Pinia state is automatically persisted in localStorage. It beats having to write and troubleshoot the storage logic yourself.

I've used the pinia-plugin-persistedstate package and has worked fine for me.

I have a Vue 3 / TypeScript app that uses a combination of Firebase, Pinia, Vue Concurrency, and the Pinia Persisted State Plugin.
