Pinia

What is it?

Pinia is a state management solution created for Vue 3 and maintained by the Vue core team. It is built to replace Vuex, offering a simpler API, better developer experience, and first-class TypeScript support.

What does it do?

Pinia manages shared application state using modular stores. It enables predictable state updates, reactive data flow, devtools integration, hot module replacement, and easy testing without boilerplate.

Where is it used?

Pinia is widely used in Vue 3 applications, Nuxt projects, dashboards, SaaS frontends, and large-scale web applications that require clean, maintainable state management.

When & why it emerged

Pinia emerged around 2021 as Vue’s recommended state management solution. It was created to address the complexity and verbosity of Vuex while aligning with modern Vue patterns and Composition API.

Why we use it at Internative

We use Pinia to manage state in Vue-based applications where clarity, scalability, and type safety matter. Its clean architecture and seamless Vue integration help us build maintainable frontend systems.
