const state = useState("theme", () => "dark")

// Topic: Understanding Composables
const state = { key: 'theme', value: 'dark' };
console.log(state.key + ':' + state.value);

// Expected Output: theme:dark

• 1Extract shared reactive logic while keeping ownership and side effects explicit. Use the focus terms (understanding, composables, reference U81DC16) to keep this lesson tied to its exact Nuxt.js topic.
• 2Document reusable use-prefixed function for Vue/Nuxt logic with focus terms: understanding, composables, reference U81DC16 in the smallest useful page, layout, composable, store, server route, or deployment step.
• 3Represent every loading, success, denied, stale, and failure state that Understanding Composables can expose.
• 4Test initial value, updates, cleanup, SSR behavior, and error paths. Include a check for these focus terms: understanding, composables, reference U81DC16.
• 5Use logic reuse without hidden coupling tracked for understanding, composables, reference U81DC16 to guide improvements.
• 6Start with clear requirements and one minimal working example.
• 7Use meaningful names that explain business intent.
• 8Keep examples small enough to debug line by line.
• 9Validate input at every trust boundary.
• 10Handle errors explicitly and preserve useful context.
• 11Prefer simple control flow over deeply nested logic.
• 12Separate domain logic from I/O and framework code.
• 13Write tests for normal, boundary, and failure cases.
• 14Review security assumptions before production use.
• 15Measure performance before optimizing.
• 16Document non-obvious decisions close to the code or in project notes.
• 17Use official documentation when behavior is version-specific.
• 18Keep dependencies current and remove unused code.
• 19Avoid hardcoded secrets, credentials, and environment-specific paths.
• 20Log operational events without exposing sensitive data.
• 21Design examples so learners can safely modify and rerun them.
• 22Prefer maintainability over short-term cleverness.
