Prompting Playbook for Vue.js

• Always specify 'Vue 3 Composition API with script setup' to avoid receiving Options API code from AI tools
• Mention 'Pinia' when requesting state management code - AI may otherwise generate Vuex patterns from Vue 2 era
• Include 'with TypeScript' and specify defineProps<T>() syntax to get fully typed component interfaces
• When asking for form handling, specify whether you use VeeValidate, FormKit, or manual validation patterns
• Describe your CSS approach (scoped styles, CSS modules, Tailwind) so AI generates matching style blocks

Patterns AI Should Follow in Vue.js

• Composables with ref/reactive return values for reusable stateful logic across components
• Pinia setup stores with computed getters and async actions for global state management
• Provide/inject patterns for deep component tree dependency passing without prop drilling
• Transition and TransitionGroup wrappers for list and route animations
• Dynamic async components with defineAsyncComponent and Suspense fallbacks
• Template refs with typed useTemplateRef or ref<InstanceType<typeof Component>> for child access

Composable for Debounced Search with API

A practical Vue 3 composable that AI generates well - debounced search with loading state and cancellation.

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

interface SearchResult {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  category: string;
}

function useSearch(endpoint: string, debounceMs = 300) {
  const query = ref('');
  const results = ref<SearchResult[]>([]);
  const isLoading = ref(false);
  let timeout: ReturnType<typeof setTimeout>;
  let controller: AbortController;

  watch(query, (val) => {
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    if (!val.trim()) { results.value = []; return; }
    timeout = setTimeout(async () => {
      controller?.abort();
      controller = new AbortController();
      isLoading.value = true;
      try {
        const res = await fetch(`${endpoint}?q=${encodeURIComponent(val)}`, {
          signal: controller.signal,
        });
        results.value = await res.json();
      } catch (e) {
        if (e instanceof DOMException && e.name === 'AbortError') return;
      } finally {
        isLoading.value = false;
      }
    }, debounceMs);
  });

  onUnmounted(() => { clearTimeout(timeout); controller?.abort(); });
  return { query, results, isLoading };
}

const { query, results, isLoading } = useSearch('/api/search');
</script>
