Favorite Vue Plugins?

I've done some Vue work but I have yet to explore the plugin ecosystem available for it. I'd love to hear about favorite plugins that people use and how they help!

I like BootstrapVue a lot.

It doesn't just map Bootstrap features to Vue syntax but has a bunch of features of its own which are well integrated. For example, the tables feature is very powerful and has made working with remote datasets a lot easier for me. The documentation is excellent, too.

The vue-async-computed plugin also came in handy for what feels like a missing Vue feature to me. (Although I'm far from an expert on Vue, so there may be a better alternative that I've missed)

Finally, it's not a plugin, but I am impressed by how easy VuePress is to get up and running, and it seems to be super extendable in a way that feels natural to Vue.

Async computed properties sounds really handy! I know I've had to work around that issue a few times here and there - I'll definitely be adding that one to my toolbox. Thanks for sharing that!

Not a plugin per se, but Quasar Framework. It has a number of really nice design decisions that make working with Vue even more pleasant (and it does have some plugins as well).

The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have as complete a11y support as e.g. Vuetify, and that is important to me (at least for some projects).

Element UI is my go to for UI stuff. I use Sentry quite a lot too. Currently building my own split-testing plugin as well, docs.variate.ca (if anyone’s interested, we’re looking for beta testers!)

For me, Vuex Pathify is must-have for bigger projects. This one is amazing to tame the vuex beast.

You have TS support and decorators as well. Generators of actions, mutations and getters directly from state are really helpful. Documentation is straight to the point and you find there all you need.

The documentation does look great - it looks like something that could help me in future projects.
