Pinia is sate manager and library for Vue.js applications. It servers as a centralized storage for all app components and ensures data change/mutation predictability according to specific rules.
You can find more about Pinia 4 and the state management pattern at Pinia website.
Starting from version Vue 3, Vue developers have declared that Pinia is a recommended storage solution.
