How to use vueuse

Vueuse is a collection of essential Vue.js plugins, libraries and components for functionalities such as state management, routing, and form handling. To use Vueuse in your Vue.js project, you can install it via npm:

npm install vueuse

Then, you can import and use the plugins and components that you need in your Vue app. Here is an example of how to use the useDebounce plugin, which adds a debounced computed property to your Vue component:

<template>
  <input v-model="searchQuery">
  <p>Search query: </p>
</template>

<script>
import { useDebounce } from 'vueuse'

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      searchQuery: '',
    }
  },
  computed: {
    ...useDebounce({
      searchQuery: 500,
    }),
  },
}
</script>

This will create a debounced version of the searchQuery data property, which can be accessed via the debouncedSearchQuery computed property. The debounce delay is specified in milliseconds (in this case, 500ms).

Here are some more details about using Vueuse in your Vue.js project:

Importing Vueuse plugins and components

To use a Vueuse plugin or component, you first need to import it from the vueuse package. For example, to use the useDebounce plugin, you would import it like this:

import { useDebounce } from 'vueuse'

You can also import multiple plugins or components at once, like this:

import { useDebounce, useRouter, useForm } from 'vueuse'

Using Vueuse plugins

ueuse plugins can be used by adding them to the computed property of your Vue component. For example, here is how you would use the useDebounce plugin:

computed: {
  ...useDebounce({
    searchQuery: 500,
  }),
},

This will add a debounced version of the searchQuery data property to your component, which you can access via the debouncedSearchQuery computed property. The debounce delay is specified in milliseconds (in this case, 500ms).

You can use multiple Vueuse plugins in the same component, by spreading them into the computed object like this:

computed: {
  ...useDebounce({
    searchQuery: 500,
  }),
  ...useRouter(),
  ...useForm(),
},

Using Vueuse components

Vueuse components can be used in your Vue templates just like any other Vue component. For example, here is how you would use the <RouterLink> component from the useRouter plugin:

<template>
  <RouterLink to="/home">Home</RouterLink>
</template>

<script>
import { useRouter } from 'vueuse'

export default {
  components: {
    ...useRouter(),
  },
}
</script>

This will render a <a> element that functions as a router link, using the to prop to specify the target route.
