Vue.js Development Guides

Tasks Checklist

  • Followed the core principles
  • Followed the defaults unless there is a good reason not to
  • Followed the reactivity best practices
  • Followed the component best practices - Followed the Vue SFC best practices - Kept components focused
    • Split large components into smaller ones when needed
    • Moved state/side effects into composables if applicable - Followed data flow best practices

Core Principles

  • Keep state predictable: one source of truth, derive everything else.
  • Make data flow explicit: Props down, Events up for most cases.
  • Favor small, focused components: easier to test, reuse, and maintain.
  • Avoid unnecessary re-renders: use computed properties and watchers wisely.
  • Readability counts: write clear, self-documenting code.

Defaults (unless the user says otherwise)

  • Prefer the Composition API over the Options API.

Reactivity

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/reactivity-guide.md for reactive state management when creating, updating a component or a composable.

Components

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/sfc-guide.md for best practices when working with Vue SFCs.
  • Prefer Vue Single-File Components (SFC) using <script setup lang="ts"> (TypeScript) by default.
  • In Vue SFCs, keep sections in this order: <script> → <template> → <style>.

Keep components focused

Split a component when it has more than one clear responsibility (e.g. data orchestration + UI, or multiple independent UI sections).
  • Prefer smaller components + composables over one “mega component”
  • Move UI sections into child components (props in, events out).
  • Move state/side effects into composables (useXxx()).
NOTE: This rule also applies to the entry component (e.g. App.vue) in a Vue / Nuxt project by default.

Data Flow

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/data-flow-guide.md for passing and receiving data between components using:
  • Props
  • Emits
  • v-model
  • provide/inject
For sharing data across the app, please follow the references/state-management-guide.md and consider using a Store for state management solution.
