vitesse-lite VS vue-promised

Also, if you use Vite, there's a cool starter template called Vitesse. I generally use the lite version, (less packages) called Vitesse Lite.

This template is nice to start from: https://github.com/antfu/vitesse-lite

Take a look at the Vue vitesse-lite boilerplate.

I think vitesse is awesome but if you want to go down this route as a beginner you could always start with the lite version https://github.com/antfu/vitesse-lite

I see that you have found a solution to your problem already - but I still recommend to have a look into vue-promised which might help you with the min-timeout & loading component.

Thirdly, right now your code is not declared as async although an api call in the real world always takes a fair amount of time. So I'd make this composable async or put everything into an async function which returns a promise. I'm quite a fan of everything "posva" (Eduardo, core member) does. Besides the vue-router and Pinia (the new Vuex) he's created vue-promised which I use a lot. It easily allows you to easily setup a loading status, too.
