What makes Vue particularly powerful, however, is that it can be built upon, increasing its functionality from a simple view-model library to that of a fully fledged JavaScript framework capable of powering entire SPA's via supporting plugins and libraries such as Vue Router, Vue Resource, and Vuex.

A simple src/router/index.js router based on vue-router allows you to avoid utilising the store for now (with the current project capabilities) and helps with 404 error handling.

So to start, in the land of Vue we use Vue Router for routing. It is a first party plugin and solves all your routing needs, providing both Web History and Hash based routing. Additionally, it supports nested routes and router views.

I have read through some of the content on router.vuejs.org but I can't find anything related to my issue, or I am not understanding the issue and so not sure what to look for.

Vue has a wide range of use cases that span the whole scale of front-end development. We can use it to add a bit of dynamism into an existing web app, such as adding a simple carousel or content that changes on user interaction e.g mouse movements or text input to creating complex web apps such as e-commerce stores with multiple categories and product pages supporting routing, browser-based data storage via Vue's own libraries such as the vue-router and vuex with features such as a cart, external API call requests and so forth.

We run this terminal command to enable our application to use Vue Router.

We’ll also need Vue Router for setting up the course pages.

Pinia is a relatively new state management tool for the Vue ecosystem. It is the new preferred state management tool recommended by the Vue core team replacing Vuex. Compared to Vuex, Pinia is type-safe by default (direct-vuex was needed to make Vuex type-safe), extremely lightweight, and modular by design (meaning you can create multiple stores instead of multiple modules inside one store, which optimises performance). Similar to Vuex, Pinia has state, computed properties (getters) and methods (mutations and actions). Read more about Pinia and its usage to understand the similarities and differences between Pinia and Vuex.

Vue.js also offers built-in features like animation and state management through Vuex which serve a wide range of development needs.

I really liked the idea of how all the core Vue libraries are maintained by Vue team themselves, making Vue feels like an all-in-one package instead of infinite npm install to add multiple community/personally maintained repos which often caused issues because they don't blend together. And now Pinia will be officially replacing Vuex, making me doubt if it'll be as reliable as Vuex.

Vuex: https://vuex.vuejs.org/

Pinia. No discussion. Have you checked the Vuex website? It says Pinia is default. https://vuex.vuejs.org/

Vuex itself, tells you to not use it and use Pinia instead.

Vuex is a state management library. At first glance it seems complicated, and in fact it is a bit. You can use Vuex to store data that should be used globally in your app. Vuex provides you with a solid API to apply changes to this data and reflect them in all child components that use Vuex data store.

I encourage you to also go through Vuex's official documentation: https://vuex.vuejs.org/

And in cases where you need globally available data, best to use Vuex, Pinia, or a composable
