Not Using VueUse in 2025? You’re Seriously Missing Out!

Okay, let’s get real. If you’re still not using VueUse in 2025, you’re making your life harder for no reason.

VueUse is basically a giant toolbox of Vue composables that solves all those small, annoying problems you keep writing from scratch. Let me show you why you should care — with actual examples.

Example 1: Track Window Size in One Line

Without VueUse, you’d probably write this:js

window.addEventListener('resize', handler)
// + clean it up on unmount

With VueUse?

import { useWindowSize } from '@vueuse/core'

const { width, height } = useWindowSize()

✅ Done. No manual event listeners, no cleanup, fully reactive.

Example 2: Handle Mouse Position Effortlessly

Normally, you’d write custom event listeners, right? With VueUse:

import { useMouse } from '@vueuse/core'

const { x, y } = useMouse()

✅ Boom! You get live x, y mouse coordinates, instantly reactive in your templates.

Example 3: Sync State to localStorage (Without Headaches)

Need to save a value in localStorage?

Without VueUse:

localStorage.setItem('key', value)

With VueUse:

import { useLocalStorage } from '@vueuse/core'

const count = useLocalStorage('count', 0)

✅ You get a ref that automatically syncs to localStorage — no manual saving or reading.

Example 4: Prevent devices from dimming or locking the screen

When request is called, the wake lock will be requested if the document is visible. Otherwise, the request will be queued until the document becomes visible. If the request is successful, isActive will be true. Whenever the document is hidden, the isActive will be false.

import { useWakeLock } from '@vueuse/core'

const { isSupported, isActive, forceRequest, request, release } = useWakeLock()

Example 5: Watch Network Status

Want to check if the user is online?

import { useNetwork } from '@vueuse/core'

const { isOnline } = useNetwork()

✅ You now have a live-updating isOnline reactive value.

Why Are You Still Not Using It?

VueUse is built for Vue 3 Composition API and gives you:

• Time-saving utilities.
• Cleaner, reactive code.
• Less boilerplate, more productivity.

In 2025, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel when VueUse has already done the hard work.

How to Get Started

npm install @vueuse/core

Then import what you need:

import { useMouse, useWindowSize } from '@vueuse/core'

Final Thoughts

If you want to write smarter, faster Vue apps, VueUse should already be in your project. Start small — pull in one composable — and you’ll never look back.

✨ Trust me, your future self will thank you.
