Front-End Integration in Vue 3

Integrating Vue 3 with APIs, state management, and third-party libraries is essential for building dynamic applications.

API Integration

  • Use Axios or Fetch for REST API calls.
  • For GraphQL, use Apollo Client or urql.
  • Store API endpoints in environment variables.
  • Handle loading, error, and success states in UI.

Example: Fetch Data with Axios

import axios from 'axios'
import { ref, onMounted } from 'vue'
const data = ref(null)
const error = ref(null)
onMounted(async () => {
  try {
    data.value = await axios.get(import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL)
  } catch (e) {
    error.value = e
  }
})

State Management

  • Use Pinia (recommended) or Vuex for global state.
  • Organize stores in src/store/ or src/pinia/.
  • Use composables for local state and logic reuse.

Routing

  • Use Vue Router for client-side navigation.
  • Define routes in src/router/index.js.
  • Use route guards for authentication and authorization.

Third-Party Libraries

  • Integrate UI libraries (Vuetify, Element Plus) for ready-made components.
  • Use charting libraries (Chart.js, ECharts) for data visualization.
  • Always check compatibility with Vue 3 and TypeScript support.

Best Practices

  • Centralize API logic in composables or services.
  • Handle errors and loading states gracefully.
  • Keep third-party dependencies up to date.
