Best practices and architectural patterns for Vue 3 and Nuxt 3 projects. Emphasizes core principles: predictable state with single source of truth, explicit data flow (props down, events up), and small focused components Requires Composition API with <script setup lang="ts"> as the default, and mandates following referenced guides for reactivity, SFC structure, and data flow patterns Includes a tasks checklist covering core principles, reactivity best practices, component design, and data flow validation Recommends splitting components when they exceed one clear responsibility, moving state and side effects into composables, and organizing SFC sections in a consistent order

Core Principles

  • Keep state predictable: one source of truth, derive everything else.
  • Make data flow explicit: Props down, Events up for most cases.
  • Favor small, focused components: easier to test, reuse, and maintain.
  • Avoid unnecessary re-renders: use computed properties and watchers wisely.
  • Readability counts: write clear, self-documenting code.

Defaults (unless the user says otherwise)

  • Prefer the Composition API over the Options API.

Reactivity

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/reactivity-guide.md for reactive state management when creating, updating a component or a composable.

Components

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/sfc-guide.md for best practices when working with Vue SFCs.

  • Prefer Vue Single-File Components (SFC) using **<script setup lang="ts">** (TypeScript) by default.
  • In Vue SFCs, keep sections in this order: <script><template><style>.

Keep components focused

Split a component when it has more than one clear responsibility (e.g. data orchestration + UI, or multiple independent UI sections).

  • Prefer smaller components + composables over one “mega component”
  • Move UI sections into child components (props in, events out).
  • Move state/side effects into composables (useXxx()).

NOTE: This rule also applies to the entry component (e.g. App.vue) in a Vue / Nuxt project by default.

Data Flow

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow the references/data-flow-guide.md for passing and receiving data between components using:

  • Props
  • Emits
  • v-model
  • provide/inject

For sharing data across the app, please follow the references/state-management-guide.md and consider using a Store for state management solution.
