vuex VS vueuse

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/

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.

Comparison, such as Pinia against Vuex, shows that Vuex, the previously recommended library, still has a higher download rate than Pinia. However, even the Vuex official documentation advises developers to opt-in for Pinia, since it is unlikely that Vuex will receive any additional functionalities.

> poor support for style libraries like tailwind

Can't relate. Tailwind works fine with anything that supports PostCSS. I run it with Vite and there's zero issues.

> the state management ecosystem is fractured between vuex and pinia

This is also just not true. Pinia is officially replacing Vuex as the recommended store library for Vue [1]. They're also vastly similar in how they do things, so the knowledge transfer over from Vuex to Pinia. And Pinia just address most of the design goals mentioned in the article in the most simple way.

As for Vue 2 -> 3 transition, lots of the larger UI frameworks in the ecosystem is struggling to migrate, despite lots of efforts on the compat layer to smooth the transition, which is a bummer. But as long as you're not doing those sophisticated things, Vue 2 examples should work out-of-box on Vue 3 as well. There are surely less resources for the composition API, but the official introduction guide has been good enough in my experience.

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.

When I arrived at the Vuex documentation page, I saw this:

Give VueUsea try, it's amazing how the library wraps common browser api around the Vue reactivity system;

If you go with localstorage or something like that I suggest you check out vue use. It has a ton of composables that can make your life easier.

Is this project related to https://vueuse.org ?

In the Vue ecosystem, there is vueuse which is the most popular collection of composables. You can look at each composable and view its source code - https://vueuse.org (very easy to understand!). You’ll learn a lot from it.

vueuse

Vue has VueUse, React has react-use, is there anything like this for Svelte?

Important APIs - ml5 for in-browser detection, face-api that uses tensorflow-node to accelerate on-server detection. VueUse for a bunch of useful component tools like the QR Code generator. Yahoo's Gifshot for creating gif files in-browser etc.

I'm just playing with Svelte until I have more time to build with it , but I feel I would miss VueUse which is just incredible, and UnoCSS (which may be supported at some point, and I guess it's not THAT different from just using Tailwind). Don't know if it makes much sense for SvelteKit, but Nuxt has a cool modules system. As for the React side, something like Framer Motion & Radix UI would be amazing.
