Plugin System: app.use()
Create a Vue plugin as an object with an install method, register global components, directives, and provide values to the entire application.
What Is a Vue Plugin?
A plugin is reusable functionality you install into a Vue app: global components, directives, provide values, prototype-style helpers (router, i18n, pinia). Plugins are how libraries integrate with Vue.
Plugin Shape
A plugin is an object with an install(app, options) method — or a function that acts as the install method.
// MyPlugin.ts
export default {
install(app, options) {
// Configure things here
}
