Pinia

Intuitive, type safe and flexible Store for Vue

  • 💡 Intuitive
  • 🔑 Type Safe
  • ⚙️ Devtools support
  • 🔌 Extensible
  • 🏗 Modular by design
  • 📦 Extremely light

Pinia works with both Vue 2 and Vue 3.

Pinia is the most similar English pronunciation of the word pineapple in Spanish: piña. A pineapple is in reality a group of individual flowers that join together to create a multiple fruit. Similar to stores, each one is born individually, but they are all connected at the end. It's also a delicious tropical fruit indigenous to South America.

FAQ

A few notes about the project and possible questions:

Q: Is Pinia the successor of Vuex?

A: Yes

Q: What about dynamic modules?

A: Dynamic modules are not type safe, so instead we allow creating different stores that can be imported anywhere

Installation

# or pnpm or yarn
npm install pinia

If you are using Vue <2.7, make sure to install latest @vue/composition-api:

npm install pinia @vue/composition-api

Usage

Install the plugin

Create a pinia (the root store) and pass it to app:

// Vue 3
import { createApp } from 'vue'
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import App from './App.vue'

const pinia = createPinia()
const app = createApp(App)

app.use(pinia)
app.mount('#app')
// Vue 2
import { createPinia, PiniaVuePlugin } from 'pinia'

Vue.use(PiniaVuePlugin)
const pinia = createPinia()

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  // other options...
  // ...
  // note the same `pinia` instance can be used across multiple Vue apps on
  // the same page
  pinia,
})

Create a Store

You can create as many stores as you want, and they should each exist in different files:

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'

// main is the name of the store. It is unique across your application
// and will appear in devtools
export const useMainStore = defineStore('main', {
  // a function that returns a fresh state
  state: () => ({
    counter: 0,
    name: 'Eduardo',
  }),
  // optional getters
  getters: {
    // getters receive the state as first parameter
    doubleCounter: (state) => state.counter * 2,
    // use getters in other getters
    doubleCounterPlusOne(): number {
      return this.doubleCounter + 1
    },
  },
  // optional actions
  actions: {
    reset() {
      // `this` is the store instance
      this.counter = 0
    },
  },
})

defineStore returns a function that has to be called to get access to the store:

import { useMainStore } from '@/stores/main'
import { storeToRefs } from 'pinia'

export default defineComponent({
  setup() {
    const main = useMainStore()

    // extract specific store properties
    const { counter, doubleCounter } = storeToRefs(main)

    return {
      // gives access to the whole store in the template
      main,
      // gives access only to specific state or getter
      counter,
      doubleCounter,
    }
  },
})
