Key Recommendations

  • Prefer Setup Stores for complex logic, composables, and watchers
  • Use `storeToRefs()` when destructuring state/getters to preserve reactivity
  • Actions can be destructured directly - they're bound to the store
  • Call stores inside functions not at module scope, especially for SSR
  • Add HMR support to each store for better development experience
  • Use `@pinia/testing` for component tests with mocked stores
