Advanced Vue 3 Composables Patterns

Build reusable, testable logic with composables — from state factories to async resource patterns.

1 min read

Composables are Vue’s answer to “where does this logic live?” Done well, they make features portable across components without a single mixin.

A reusable async resource

ts
export function useResource<T>(loader: () => Promise<T>) {
  const data = ref<T | null>(null)
  const error = ref<unknown>(null)
  const loading = ref(false)

  async function execute() {
    loading.value = true
    try {
      data.value = await loader()
    } catch (e) {
      error.value = e
    } finally {
      loading.value = false
    }
  }

  return { data, error, loading, execute }
}

<p>:::info
A composable should own its own reactive state. Avoid reaching into global singletons unless it is genuinely shared (then make it a <code>useState</code>).

<h2 id="patterns-worth-knowing">Patterns worth knowing</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>State factories</strong> for independent widget instances</li>
<li><strong>Async resources</strong> for any data fetch</li>
<li><strong>Lifecycle-aware</strong> logic that cleans up after itself</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>A good composable is a verb, not a noun: <code>use*</code>, not <code>widgetState</code>.</p>
