Pinia best practices, common gotchas, and state management patterns.

Store Setup

• Getting "getActivePinia was called" error at startup → See pinia-no-active-pinia-error
• Setup stores missing state in DevTools or SSR → See pinia-setup-store-return-all-state

Reactivity

• Store destructuring stops updating UI reactively → See pinia-store-destructuring-breaks-reactivity
• Store methods lose context in template calls → See store-method-binding-parentheses

State Patterns

• Filters reset on refresh or can't be shared → See state-url-for-ephemeral-filters
• Building production app without DevTools or conventions → See state-use-pinia-for-large-apps
