# KeepAlive Component Best Practices
|
|
|
|
**Impact: HIGH** - `<KeepAlive>` caches component instances instead of destroying them. Use it to preserve state across switches, but manage cache size and freshness explicitly to avoid memory growth or stale UI.
|
|
|
|
## Task List
|
|
|
|
- Use KeepAlive only where state preservation improves UX
|
|
- Set a reasonable `max` to cap cache size
|
|
- Declare component names for include/exclude matching
|
|
- Use `onActivated`/`onDeactivated` for cache-aware logic
|
|
- Decide how and when cached views refresh their data
|
|
- Avoid caching memory-heavy or security-sensitive views
|
|
|
|
## When to Use KeepAlive
|
|
|
|
Use KeepAlive when switching between views where state should persist (tabs, multi-step forms, dashboards). Avoid it when each visit should start fresh.
|
|
|
|
**BAD:**
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<!-- State resets on every switch -->
|
|
<component :is="currentTab" />
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**GOOD:**
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<!-- State preserved between switches -->
|
|
<KeepAlive>
|
|
<component :is="currentTab" />
|
|
</KeepAlive>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## When NOT to Use KeepAlive
|
|
|
|
- Search or filter pages where users expect fresh results
|
|
- Memory-heavy components (maps, large tables, media players)
|
|
- Sensitive flows where data must be cleared on exit
|
|
- Components with heavy background activity you cannot pause
|
|
|
|
## Limit and Control the Cache
|
|
|
|
Always cap cache size with `max` and restrict caching to specific components when possible.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<KeepAlive :max="5" include="Dashboard,Settings">
|
|
<component :is="currentView" />
|
|
</KeepAlive>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ensure Component Names Match include/exclude
|
|
|
|
`include` and `exclude` match the component `name` option. Explicitly set names for reliable caching.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<!-- TabA.vue -->
|
|
<script setup>
|
|
defineOptions({ name: 'TabA' })
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<KeepAlive include="TabA,TabB">
|
|
<component :is="currentTab" />
|
|
</KeepAlive>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Cache Invalidation Strategies
|
|
|
|
Vue 3 has no direct API to remove a specific cached instance. Use keys or dynamic include/exclude to force refreshes.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<script setup>
|
|
import { ref, reactive } from 'vue'
|
|
|
|
const currentView = ref('Dashboard')
|
|
const viewKeys = reactive({ Dashboard: 0, Settings: 0 })
|
|
|
|
function invalidateCache(view) {
|
|
viewKeys[view]++
|
|
}
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
<template>
|
|
<KeepAlive>
|
|
<component :is="currentView" :key="`${currentView}-${viewKeys[currentView]}`" />
|
|
</KeepAlive>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Lifecycle Hooks for Cached Components
|
|
|
|
Cached components are not destroyed on switch. Use activation hooks for refresh and cleanup.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<script setup>
|
|
import { onActivated, onDeactivated } from 'vue'
|
|
|
|
onActivated(() => {
|
|
refreshData()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
onDeactivated(() => {
|
|
pauseTimers()
|
|
})
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Router Caching and Freshness
|
|
|
|
Decide whether navigation should show cached state or a fresh view. A common pattern is to key by route when params change.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<router-view v-slot="{ Component, route }">
|
|
<KeepAlive>
|
|
<component :is="Component" :key="route.fullPath" />
|
|
</KeepAlive>
|
|
</router-view>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want cache reuse but fresh data, refresh in `onActivated` and compare query/params before fetching.
