Loading data asynchronously with Vue and Pinia

When working with Vue 3 Composition API and Pinia, I struggled a bit to put out an example of loading async data, where the request is handled by the Pinia store, which also owns the data.

It’s 2 AM and, finally, here is the store:

import {ref, reactive} from 'vue';
import {defineStore} from 'pinia';

const useStore = defineStore('fruits', () => {
	const fruits = reactive<string[]>([]);
	const loading = ref(false);

	return {
		fruits,
		loading,
		loadFruits(): Promise<void> {
			loading.value = true;
			return new Promise((resolve, _reject) => {
				setTimeout(() => {
					fruits.push('lemon', 'orange', 'peach', 'strawberry');
					loading.value = false;
					resolve();
				}, 2000);
			});
		},
	};
});

export default useStore;

And this is the single file component, which calls the store asynchronously:

<template>
	<div v-if="loading">Loading...<div>
	<div v-if="!loading">
		<div v-for="fruit of fruits" :key="fruit">
			{{fruit}}
		</div>
	</div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import {computed, onMounted} from 'vue';
import useStore from '@/model/store';

const store = useStore();
const loading = computed(() => store.loading);
const fruits = computed(() => store.fruits);

onMounted(() => {
	store.loadFruits();
});
</script>

Although I’m not seeing much advantage of Vue over React, Pinia is so much better than Redux insanity. Even with Redux Toolkit. I hope they don’t mess it up when Pinia becomes Vuex 5, as said.
