Pinia Colada: Smooth Data Fetching for Better UX
summary
Pinia Colada is a Vue plugin built on Pinia that provides a small (about 2.5 kilobytes) client-side query system with a centralized query cache and hierarchical keys so multiple components share the same promise instance. It implements fresh/stale timing, prefetching, a delay plugin to avoid flashing spinners, automatic refetch on invalidation, and optimistic updates for instant-feeling writes. The demo shows optimistic edits and background refetches working and the API is nearly stable with devtools support.
