## What it is
PortalVue is a Vue 3 plugin providing Portal and PortalTarget components that render a component's template anywhere in the DOM, even outside the Vue app's root element. It is an alternative to Vue's built-in Teleport with additional features like named portals and source toggling.

## Use cases
- render modals at the document body level
- render tooltips or popovers outside the component tree
- teleport slot content to a named target elsewhere in the app
- build overlay and dialog systems in Vue 3
- render content outside the Vue app mount element

## When to choose
- you need named portals or features beyond Vue's built-in Teleport
- you maintain a Vue 2 codebase using portal-vue v2
- you need fine-grained control over where content renders in the DOM

## When to avoid
- you only need basic teleporting - Vue 3's built-in Teleport is recommended by the author
- you need a Nuxt module integration for Vue 3 (not yet available)
- you need to support legacy browsers without ES Modules support
