+# Vue Patterns
+
+> This file extends [typescript/patterns.md](../typescript/patterns.md) and [common/patterns.md](../common/patterns.md) with Vue-specific architecture patterns. For composable rules see [hooks.md](./hooks.md).
+
+## Component Design Principles
+
+### Presentational vs Container
+
+Split large views into container (data-fetching, state, orchestration) and presentational (props-in, events-out) components.
+
+```vue
+<!-- Container: src/pages/UserList.vue -->
+<script setup lang="ts">
+const { users, isLoading } = useUsers();
+</script>
+<template>
+  <UserListSkeleton v-if="isLoading" />
+  <UserTable v-else :users="users" @select="handleSelect" />
+</template>
+
+<!-- Presentational: src/components/UserTable.vue -->
+<script setup lang="ts">
+defineProps<{ users: User[] }>();
+const emit = defineEmits<{ select: [id: string] }>();
+</script>
+<template>
+  <div v-for="user in users" :key="user.id" @click="emit('select', user.id)">
+    {{ user.name }}
+  </div>
+</template>
+```
+
+### Provide / Inject
+
+Use for dependency injection (not state management). Ideal for: theme, locale, configuration, plugin API surfaces.
+
+```ts
+// Provider — in a parent or plugin
+const theme = ref<Theme>("light");
+provide("theme", readonly(theme));
+
+// Consumer — in any descendant
+const theme = inject<Ref<Theme>>("theme");
+```
+
+- Always use `readonly()` when providing to prevent child mutations.
+- Use `Symbol` keys for injection to avoid name collisions.
+- Document the injection key type with a shared constant.
+
+### Scoped Slots
+
+Use scoped slots when a child component owns data but the parent controls rendering.
+
+```vue
+<!-- Child -->
+<template>
+  <ul>
+    <li v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">
+      <slot name="item" :item="item" :index="index" />
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+</template>
+
+<!-- Parent -->
+<template>
+  <DataList :items="users">
+    <template #item="{ item, index }">
+      <UserCard :user="item" :rank="index + 1" />
+    </template>
+  </DataList>
+</template>
+```
+
+## State Management
+
+### Decision Tree
+
+1. **Component-local**: `ref()` / `reactive()` inside the component
+2. **Shared between parent + few children**: Lift to parent, pass via props + emits
+3. **Shared across distant branches, infrequent updates**: `provide` / `inject`
+4. **Global, shared, complex**: Pinia store
+5. **Server-derived data**: Composables wrapping `fetch` / `useFetch` (Nuxt) / TanStack Query (Vue Query)
+
+### Pinia Patterns
+
+```ts
+// stores/useUserStore.ts
+import { defineStore } from "pinia";
+import { ref, computed } from "vue";
+import { getUser, updateUser } from "@/api/user";
+
+export const useUserStore = defineStore("user", () => {
+  // State
+  const currentUser = ref<User | null>(null);
+  const isLoading = ref(false);
+  const error = ref<Error | null>(null);
+
+  // Getters (computed)
+  const isLoggedIn = computed(() => currentUser.value !== null);
+  const displayName = computed(() =>
+    currentUser.value ? currentUser.value.name : "Guest"
+  );
+
+  // Actions
+  async function fetchUser(id: string) {
+    isLoading.value = true;
+    error.value = null;
+    try {
+      currentUser.value = await getUser(id);
+    } catch (e) {
+      error.value = e as Error;
+    } finally {
+      isLoading.value = false;
+    }
+  }
+
+  return { currentUser, isLoading, error, isLoggedIn, displayName, fetchUser };
+});
+```
+
+- Prefer **Setup Store** syntax (Composition API) over Options Store.
+- Store actions are the ONLY place to mutate state — no direct `store.$patch` in components for complex logic.
+- Every async action must handle loading, success, and error states.
+- Keep stores focused on one domain — split auth, user, cart, etc. into separate stores.
+
+## Vue Router Patterns
+
+### Navigation Guards
+
+```ts
+// Global guard
+router.beforeEach((to, from) => {
+  const store = useUserStore();
+  if (to.meta.requiresAuth && !store.isLoggedIn) {
+    return { name: "login", query: { redirect: to.fullPath } };
+  }
+});
+```
+
+- Always provide a redirect path so the user returns to their intended destination after login.
+- Route guards should not have side effects beyond navigation decisions.
+- Use `beforeEnter` on routes for route-specific checks; `beforeEach` for global ones.
+
+### Lazy Loading
+
+```ts
+const routes = [
+  {
+    path: "/dashboard",
+    component: () => import("@/pages/Dashboard.vue"), // lazy
+  },
+  {
+    path: "/settings",
+    component: () => import("@/pages/Settings.vue"),
+    // Provide loading/error components
+    meta: {
+      __loadingComponent: LoadingSpinner,
+      __errorComponent: ErrorView,
+    },
+  },
+];
+```
+
+### Route Params inside Same Component
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+// WRONG: snapshot
+const { id } = useRoute().params;
+watch(id, fetchItem); // id is a plain string — doesn't change
+
+// CORRECT: ref-wrapped
+const route = useRoute();
+const id = computed(() => route.params.id as string);
+watch(id, fetchItem);
+
+// ALSO CORRECT: watch the route
+watch(() => route.params.id, fetchItem);
+</script>
+```
+
+## List Rendering
+
+### `v-for` with Stable Keys
+
+```vue
+<!-- CORRECT: stable unique ID -->
+<div v-for="item in items" :key="item.id">
+  {{ item.name }}
+</div>
+
+<!-- WRONG: index as key (breaks on reorder/insert/delete) -->
+<div v-for="(item, index) in items" :key="index">
+  {{ item.name }}
+</div>
+
+<!-- WRONG: v-if + v-for on same element -->
+<div v-for="item in items" v-if="item.active" :key="item.id">
+  <!-- v-if runs on item, but intention is to filter the list -->
+</div>
+
+<!-- CORRECT: computed filtered list -->
+<script setup>
+const activeItems = computed(() => items.value.filter(i => i.active));
+</script>
+<template>
+  <div v-for="item in activeItems" :key="item.id">{{ item.name }}</div>
+</template>
+```
+
+## Forms
+
+### v-model Patterns
+
+```vue
+<script setup lang="ts">
+// Basic binding
+const name = ref("");
+
+// Multiple v-model (Vue 3.4+ defineModel)
+const model = defineModel<string>();
+const title2 = defineModel<string>("title");
+
+// With validator/transformer
+const price = defineModel<number>({ required: true });
+</script>
+
+<template>
+  <input v-model="name" />
+  <CustomInput v-model="model" v-model:title="title2" />
+</template>
+```
+
+### Form Validation
+
+For non-trivial forms, use a vetted library:
+
+- **VeeValidate** — declarative validation rules, form-level context.
+- **FormKit** — schema-based forms with built-in validation.
+- **Custom with composable** — for simple cases only.
+
+```ts
+// Anti-pattern: manual validation in component
+const errors = ref<string[]>([]);
+function submit() {
+  errors.value = [];
+  if (!email.value.includes("@")) errors.value.push("Invalid email");
+  // ... fragile, not reusable, no i18n
+}
+```
+
+### Event Handling
+
+```vue
+<!-- Prefer @submit.prevent on form element -->
+<form @submit.prevent="handleSubmit">
+  <button type="submit">Save</button>
+</form>
+
+<!-- Key modifiers -->
+<input @keyup.enter="submit" />
+<input @keyup.esc="cancel" />
+
+<!-- Event modifiers chaining -->
+<a @click.prevent.stop="handleClick">Link</a>
+```
+
+## Scoped CSS
+
+```vue
+<style scoped>
+/* Styles are scoped to this component via data-v-* attributes */
+.card {
+  padding: 16px;
+}
+</style>
+```
+
+- Always use `<style scoped>` for component styles — prevents leakage.
+- For child component root element styling, use `:deep()` combinator.
+- For slot content styling, use `:slotted()`.
+- For global overrides, use a separate `<style>` block (no scoped) sparingly.
+
+```vue
+<style scoped>
+/* Target child root element */
+.card :deep(.title) { font-size: 20px; }
+
+/* Target slot content */
+:slotted(p) { margin: 0; }
+</style>
+```
+
+## Teleport
+
+Use `<Teleport>` for modals, tooltips, notifications — content that must escape parent overflow/z-index constraints.
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <Teleport to="body">
+    <Modal :show="isOpen" @close="isOpen = false">
+      <slot />
+    </Modal>
+  </Teleport>
+</template>
+```
+
+**Vue 3.5+**: `<Teleport>` supports `defer` prop for deferred mounting. This allows teleporting to a target element that is rendered later in the same render cycle:
+
+```vue
+<!-- defer: target can appear after the Teleport in the DOM -->
+<Teleport defer target="#container">
+  <p>Teleported content</p>
+</Teleport>
+<div id="container"></div>
+```
+
+## KeepAlive
+
+Cache component state when toggling between views. Always set `:max` to control memory.
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <KeepAlive :max="10">
+    <component :is="currentTab" />
+  </KeepAlive>
+</template>
+```
+
+## `useId()` (Vue 3.5+)
+
+Generate unique, SSR-stable IDs for form elements and accessibility attributes:
+
+```vue
+<script setup>
+import { useId } from "vue";
+const id = useId();
+</script>
+<template>
+  <label :for="id">Name:</label>
+  <input :id="id" type="text" />
+</template>
+```
+
+- IDs are unique per application instance and stable across server/client rendering.
+- Prefer `useId()` over manual ID generation to avoid SSR hydration mismatches.
+
+## `data-allow-mismatch` (Vue 3.5+)
+
+Suppress unavoidable server/client value mismatch warnings:
+
+```vue
+<span data-allow-mismatch>{{ date.toLocaleString() }}</span>
+<!-- Optional: restrict to specific mismatch types -->
+<span data-allow-mismatch="text">{{ clientOnlyValue }}</span>
+```
+
+Allowed types: `text`, `children`, `class`, `style`, `attribute`.
+
+## Suspense (Experimental / Vue 3.3+)
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <Suspense>
+    <AsyncDashboard />
+    <template #fallback>
+      <LoadingSkeleton />
+    </template>
+  </Suspense>
+</template>
+```
+
+## Dynamic Components
+
+```vue
+<template>
+  <component :is="stepComponent" v-bind="stepProps" @done="nextStep" />
+</template>
+
+<script setup lang="ts">
+import Step1 from "./Step1.vue";
+import Step2 from "./Step2.vue";
+import Step3 from "./Step3.vue";
+
+const stepComponent = computed(() => {
+  const steps = [Step1, Step2, Step3];
+  return steps[currentStep.value];
+});
+</script>
+```
+
+## Out of Scope (Pointer Sections)
+
+### Nuxt-specific Patterns
+
+Nuxt auto-imports, server routes, Nitro, modules, and build configuration are treated as a separate framework concern. When adding deep Nuxt-specific patterns, see `skills/nuxt4-patterns/` if present, or propose a dedicated `rules/nuxt/` track.
+
+### Vue 2 / Migration
+
+Options API, `Vue.extend`, `Vue.directive`, filters, and event bus patterns belong to migration documentation. New code should target Vue 3 Composition API.
+

+# Vue Security
+
+> This file extends [typescript/security.md](../typescript/security.md) and [common/security.md](../common/security.md) with Vue-specific security rules.
+
+## XSS via `v-html`
+
+CRITICAL. `v-html` sets `innerHTML` directly — Vue deliberately named it to look dangerous.
+
+```vue
+<!-- CRITICAL: unsanitized user input -->
+<div v-html="userBio" />
+
+<!-- CORRECT: render as text -->
+<div>{{ userBio }}</div>
+
+<!-- CORRECT: sanitize first -->
+<script setup>
+import DOMPurify from "dompurify";
+const sanitizedBio = computed(() => DOMPurify.sanitize(userBio.value));
+</script>
+<template>
+  <div v-html="sanitizedBio" />
+</template>
+```
+
+Audit checklist for every `v-html` usage:
+
+- Is the input always under our control? Document the source.
+- If user-derived: is it sanitized at the same call site?
+- Is the sanitizer allowlisting tags, not denylisting?
+- Consider `eslint-plugin-vue` rule `vue/no-v-html` to flag all usages.
+
+## Unsafe URL Bindings
+
+```vue
+<!-- CRITICAL: unsafe URL from user input -->
+<a :href="user.website">Visit</a>
+<iframe :src="user.providedUrl" />
+
+<!-- CORRECT: validate scheme -->
+<script setup lang="ts">
+function safeUrl(url: string): string | undefined {
+  try {
+    const parsed = new URL(url);
+    return ["http:", "https:", "mailto:"].includes(parsed.protocol) ? url : undefined;
+  } catch {
+    return undefined;
+  }
+}
+</script>
+<template>
+  <a v-if="safeUrl(user.website)" :href="safeUrl(user.website)">Visit</a>
+</template>
+```
+
+## Template Injection via Interpolation
+
+Vue template interpolation (`{{ }}`) automatically escapes HTML entities — this is safe. The risk is `v-html` (covered above) and any custom directive that manipulates `innerHTML` directly.
+
+```ts
+// Suspicious: custom directive manipulating innerHTML
+app.directive("render-html", (el, binding) => {
+  el.innerHTML = binding.value; // Same risk as v-html
+});
+```
+
+## Secret Exposure via Environment Variables
+
+| Framework | Public prefix | Private |
+|-----------|---------------|---------|
+| Vite | `VITE_*` | Others |
+| Nuxt | `public` in `runtimeConfig` | Server-side only |
+| Vue CLI | `VUE_APP_*` | Others |
+| Custom (import.meta.env) | Any exposed via Vite `define` | Not configured |
+
+```ts
+// CRITICAL: secret leaked to client bundle (Vite)
+const apiKey = import.meta.env.VITE_STRIPE_SECRET; // ❌ VITE_ prefix = public
+
+// CORRECT: server-side only
+// vite.config.ts — never pass VITE_ prefixed secrets
+```
+
+### Nuxt Runtime Config
+
+```ts
+// nuxt.config.ts
+export default defineNuxtConfig({
+  runtimeConfig: {
+    // Server-side only — never exposed to client
+    stripeSecret: "",
+
+    // Public — exposed to client, treat as public
+    public: {
+      apiBase: "https://api.example.com",
+      // NEVER put secrets here
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### SSR Hydration Mismatch (Vue 3.5+)
+
+If server and client render different values for the same DOM node (e.g., locale-dependent date formatting), use `data-allow-mismatch` to suppress the warning rather than suppressing legitimate differences:
+
+```vue
+<span data-allow-mismatch="text">{{ date.toLocaleString() }}</span>
+```
+
+Do NOT use `data-allow-mismatch` to hide real security issues like missing auth checks or mismatched auth state.
+
+## Server API Input Validation (Nuxt Nitro)
+
+```ts
+// server/api/users/[id].ts
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const paramsSchema = z.object({
+  id: z.string().uuid(),
+});
+
+export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
+  // Validate route params
+  const { id } = await getValidatedRouterParams(event, paramsSchema.parse);
+
+  // Validate query
+  const query = await getValidatedQuery(event, z.object({
+    include: z.string().optional(),
+  }).parse);
+
+  // Validate body (for POST/PUT)
+  const body = await readValidatedBody(event, z.object({
+    name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
+    email: z.string().email(),
+  }).safeParse);
+
+  if (!body.success) {
+    throw createError({ statusCode: 400, message: body.error.message });
+  }
+
+  // ... proceed with validated data
+});
+```
+
+- **Never trust `event.node.req` raw properties** — use Nitro's `getValidatedRouterParams`, `readValidatedBody`, `getValidatedQuery`.
+- Server routes with write operations must validate authentication and authorization.
+- Rate-limit sensitive endpoints.
+
+## `localStorage` / `sessionStorage`
+
+```ts
+// CRITICAL: session tokens in localStorage
+localStorage.setItem("token", jwt); // ❌ any XSS can read this
+
+// CORRECT: httpOnly cookie set by server
+// Client never touches the token directly.
+```
+
+In SSR (Nuxt), `localStorage` does not exist on the server — accessing it unconditionally crashes.
+
+```ts
+// CORRECT: guard browser-only APIs
+if (import.meta.client) {
+  const theme = localStorage.getItem("theme");
+}
+```
+
+## `target="_blank"`
+
+```vue
+<!-- WRONG -->
+<a :href="externalUrl" target="_blank">External</a>
+
+<!-- CORRECT -->
+<a :href="externalUrl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">External</a>
+```
+
+Modern browsers default to `noopener`, but explicit is safer.
+
+## Third-Party Vue Libraries
+
+- Audit `npm audit` before adding any UI library.
+- Check that component libraries do not internally use `v-html` or `innerHTML` on user input.
+- Pin versions, review changelogs before major upgrades.
+- Be wary of rich-text/WYSIWYG editor components — they must sanitize HTML input.
+
+## Content Security Policy (CSP)
+
+Minimum acceptable CSP for a Vue SPA:
+
+```
+default-src 'self';
+script-src 'self' 'nonce-{REQUEST_NONCE}';
+style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';
+img-src 'self' data: https:;
+connect-src 'self' https://api.example.com;
+frame-ancestors 'none';
+```
+
+- For SSR (Nuxt), use per-request nonces via `useHead` / `useServerHead`.
+- Avoid `'unsafe-eval'` — Vue does not need it (unlike older Angular).
+- `style-src 'unsafe-inline'` is often required for `<style>` in SFCs and CSS-in-JS.
+
+## Authentication & Authorization
+
+- Never store session tokens in `localStorage` / `sessionStorage`.
+- Route guards (`beforeEach`) are UI gating only — every API endpoint must independently authorize.
+- Pinia stores that cache user roles/permissions must invalidate on logout.
+
+## Prototype Pollution
+
+```ts
+// WRONG: spreading untrusted data
+const update = await req.json();
+Object.assign(state, update); // attacker controls keys
+
+// CORRECT: whitelist keys
+const allowed = ["name", "email"];
+const safe: Record<string, unknown> = {};
+for (const key of allowed) {
+  if (key in update) safe[key] = update[key];
+}
+Object.assign(state, safe);
+```
+
+## Source Maps in Production
+
+Production Vite builds should not ship source maps, or upload them to an error tracker and strip from public bundles.
+
+```ts
+// vite.config.ts
+export default defineConfig({
+  build: {
+    sourcemap: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development",
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Agent Support
+
+- Use `security-reviewer` agent for comprehensive security audits across the codebase.
+- Use `vue-reviewer` agent for Vue-specific patterns and the above rules in active code review.
