How to handle global state in Vue.js applications?

Vuex is commonly used for managing global state in Vue.js applications. It provides a centralized store that can be accessed by all components.

// store.js
import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';

Vue.use(Vuex);

export default new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    count: 0
  },
  mutations: {
    increment(state) {
      state.count++;
    }
  },
  actions: {
    incrementAsync({ commit }) {
      setTimeout(() => {
        commit('increment');
      }, 1000);
    }
  }
});

To use it in a component:

// MyComponent.vue
export default {
  computed: {
    count() {
      return this.$store.state.count;
    }
  },
  methods: {
    increment() {
      this.$store.commit('increment');
    },
    incrementAsync() {
      this.$store.dispatch('incrementAsync');
    }
  }
};
