Installation

Install Pinia Colada alongside Pinia:

# or pnpm, or yarn, etc
npm i @pinia/colada

Then, install the plugin in your application:

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import { createPinia } from 'pinia'
import { PiniaColada } from '@pinia/colada'

const app = createApp(App)
const pinia = createPinia()
app.use(pinia)
app.use(PiniaColada, {
  // Optionally provide global options here for queries
  queryOptions: {
    gcTime: 300_000, // 5 minutes, the default
  },
})

Pinia Colada Devtools

Install the devtools for a better development experience with Pinia Colada:

# or pnpm, or yarn, etc
npm i -D @pinia/colada-devtools

Then simply put the component in your App.vue (root component):

<script setup lang="ts">
import { PiniaColadaDevtools } from '@pinia/colada-devtools'

// ...
</script>

<template>
  <main>
    <!-- Your app content here -->
  </main>

  <PiniaColadaDevtools  />
</template>

Keeping devtools in production

By default, the devtools are stripped off in production builds. You can override this with :disabled="false":

<PiniaColadaDevtools :disabled="false" />
