Vue: Options API vs. Composition API
Options API organizes Vue components by property type (data, methods). Composition API organizes them by logical feature. Use Composition API for complex components with tangled logic or for creating reusable 'composable' functions.
Vue's Options API organizes component code by its type: all reactive data in `data`, all functions in `methods`. The Composition API organizes code by logical feature, grouping related state, methods, and lifecycle hooks together. This makes complex components easier to manage and enables clean logic reuse through 'composable' functions, solving the main drawbacks of the older mixin pattern. The footgun is assuming Composition API is always better; Options API is often simpler for basic components.
