# Vue

> Vue 3 Composition API, script setup macros, reactivity system, and built-in components. Use when writing Vue SFCs, defineProps/defineEmits/defineModel, watchers, or using Transition/Teleport/Suspense/KeepAlive. Use when this capability is needed.

# Vue

> Based on Vue 3.5. Always use Composition API with `<script setup lang="ts">`.

## Preferences

- Prefer TypeScript over JavaScript
- Prefer `<script setup lang="ts">` over `<script>`
- For performance, prefer `shallowRef` over `ref` if deep reactivity is not needed
- Always use Composition API over Options API
- Discourage using Reactive Props Destructure

## Quick Reference

### Component Template

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
  import { ref, computed, watch, onMounted } from 'vue';

  const props = defineProps<{
    title: string;
    count?: number;
  }>();

  const emit = defineEmits<{
    update: [value: string];
  }>();

  const model = defineModel<string>();

  const doubled = computed(() => (props.count ?? 0) * 2);

  watch(
    () => props.title,
    (newVal) => {
      console.log('Title changed:', newVal);
    },
  );

  onMounted(() => {
    console.log('Component mounted');
  });
</script>

<template>
  <div>{{ title }} - {{ doubled }}</div>
</template>
```

### Key Imports

```ts
// Reactivity
import { ref, shallowRef, computed, reactive, readonly, toRef, toRefs, toValue } from 'vue';

// Watchers
import { watch, watchEffect, watchPostEffect, onWatcherCleanup } from 'vue';

// Lifecycle
import {
  onMounted,
  onUpdated,
  onUnmounted,
  onBeforeMount,
  onBeforeUpdate,
  onBeforeUnmount,
} from 'vue';

// Utilities
import { nextTick, defineComponent, defineAsyncComponent } from 'vue';
```
