vue-promised

Vue-Promised is a small Vue library by Eduardo San Martin Morote (posva, a Vue core team member) that handles promises in templates without the boilerplate. You get a `Promised` component and a `usePromise` composable that track pending, resolved, and rejected states automatically, with a 200ms delay before showing a loading indicator to avoid layout flicker, and data preservation during refreshes.

There's no install ceremony beyond `npm install vue-promised`. It supports Vue 3 directly and Vue 2 via the composition API plugin. Twenty stable releases, version 2.2.0 since October 2021. Stable is the right word: this is a small library that does one thing and is essentially done.

Solo and small Vue teams: install it and stop writing the same async boilerplate every component. Large Vue teams: same recommendation. If you're using Vue Query or Vue Apollo for data fetching, they already handle this for those specific cases; Vue-Promised is for the general async work those tools don't cover.

The catch: it's a library, not a tool. It's also basically feature-complete and quiet, which looks like abandonment but isn't. posva still maintains the Vue ecosystem; this is just a small piece that doesn't need new features.
