Features Composing Stores

// ❌ Infinite loop
const useX = defineStore('x', () => {
  const y = useY()
  y.name // Don't read here!
  return { name: ref('X') }
})

const useY = defineStore('y', () => {
  const x = useX()
  x.name // Don't read here!
  return { name: ref('Y') }
})

const useX = defineStore('x', () => {
  const y = useY()

  // ✅ Read in computed/actions
  function doSomething() {
    const yName = y.name
  }

  return { name: ref('X'), doSomething }
})
