What is Pinia?

Pinia is a state management library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a more straightforward, type-safe, and modular alternative to Vuex, the previous official state management library. Pinia allows developers to manage and share state across components in a Vue application, offering features like mutations, actions, and getters, similar to Vuex, but with a simpler API and better TypeScript support. It is commonly used to manage global application state, user authentication status, data fetched from APIs, and other data that needs to be accessible across multiple components.
