Component Guidelines

Vue 3 Composition API

• Use setup() function
• Destructure props (Vue 3.5 style)
• Use ref/reactive for state
• Implement computed() for derived state
• Use provide/inject for dependency injection

Component Communication

• Prefer emit/@event-name for state changes
• Use defineExpose only for imperative operations (form.validate(), modal.open())
• Events promote loose coupling

UI Framework

• Deprecated PrimeVue component replacements:
  • Dropdown → Select
  • OverlayPanel → Popover
  • Calendar → DatePicker
  • InputSwitch → ToggleSwitch
  • Sidebar → Drawer
  • Chips → AutoComplete with multiple enabled
  • TabMenu → Tabs without panels
  • Steps → Stepper without panels
  • InlineMessage → Message

Styling

• Use Tailwind CSS only (no custom CSS)
• Dark theme: use "dark-theme:" prefix
• For common operations, try to use existing VueUse composables that automatically handle effect scope
  • Example: Use useElementHover instead of manually managing mouseover/mouseout event listeners
  • Example: Use useIntersectionObserver for visibility detection instead of custom scroll handlers

Best Practices

• Extract complex conditionals to computed
• Implement cleanup for async operations
• Use vue-i18n for ALL UI strings
• Use lifecycle hooks: onMounted, onUpdated
• Use Teleport/Suspense when needed
• Proper props and emits definitions
