Pinia is the official type-safe state management library for Vue, built on the Composition API with DevTools support and a modular, extensible design. It is extremely lightweight (~1.5kb), works with Vue 3 (and Vue 2 via the v2 branch), and integrates as a Nuxt module.

Use cases

• manage global state in a Vue 3 app
• replace Vuex with a simpler type-safe store
• share reactive state between Vue components
• code-split multiple stores in a Vue application
• sync store state to localStorage in Vue
• use a state store with Nuxt SSR
• debug Vue app state with devtools

When to choose

• you are building a Vue 3 or Nuxt application and need shared state
• you want full TypeScript inference and autocompletion in your store
• you want a tiny, modular store with devtools support
• you are migrating from Vuex and want the officially recommended successor

When to avoid

• your project uses React, Angular, or Svelte rather than Vue
• you only need local component state with no cross-component sharing
• you need a framework-agnostic store that works outside the Vue ecosystem
