VueUse Development

Instructions

VueUse Integration Pattern

Always use VueUse composables when working with browser APIs, complex event handling, or performance optimizations:

import {
  useMagicKeys,
  useClipboard,
  useLocalStorage,
  useThrottleFn,
  useWindowSize,
  useEventListener
} from '@vueuse/core'

// Enhanced keyboard shortcuts
const { ctrl, shift, space } = useMagicKeys()

// Clipboard functionality
const { copy, copied, isSupported } = useClipboard()

// Persistent storage
const settings = useLocalStorage('app-settings', defaults)

// Performance optimization
const throttledUpdate = useThrottleFn(() => {
  updateCanvas()
}, 16)

// Responsive behavior
const { width, height } = useWindowSize()

// Event handling with cleanup
useEventListener('keydown', handleKeydown, { passive: true })

Key Requirements

• Always check browser compatibility: if (typeof window !== 'undefined')
• Use proper TypeScript interfaces for all props and returns
• Handle permissions for browser APIs (notifications, clipboard)
• Implement fallbacks for unsupported features
• Use throttling/debouncing for performance-critical operations
• Clean up resources automatically with VueUse's built-in cleanup

Common Patterns

• Event Handling: useEventListener for global events with automatic cleanup
• Storage: useLocalStorage/useSessionStorage for persistent state
• Performance: useThrottleFn/useDebounceFn for optimization
• Browser APIs: useClipboard, useNotification, useNetwork for web features
• Responsive Design: useWindowSize, useBreakpoints for adaptive layouts
• Keyboard Shortcuts: useMagicKeys for enhanced keyboard interactions

This skill ensures modern, efficient use of VueUse composables throughout the productivity application while maintaining performance and browser compatibility.
