Additional plugin uses ​

Plugin instance can be used to install the plugin via the app.use method, but it can also be used on its own to access several useful methods.

Accessing controller instance ​

The controller instance maintained by this plugin can be accessed at any time using the getOrCreateController() method. As the name implies, if the plugin is not installed, the controller will be instantiated and returned during this call.

For example, it may be necessary to wait for the controller to be ready before actually mounting the application:

const app = createApp(App)

await plugin.getOrCreateController().waitUntilReady() 

app.use(plugin)

app.mount('#app')

const app = createApp(App)

await plugin.getOrCreateController().waitUntilReady() 

app.use(plugin)

app.mount('#app')

Manual injection ​

You can use the plugin instance to access the global injections with the getInjections method. The return value of calling this method is an object with property descriptors that can be applied to any object using Object.defineProperties:

const myObject = {}

Object.defineProperties(myObject, plugin.getInjections())

myObject.$t('hello', { name: 'World' })

const myObject = {}

Object.defineProperties(myObject, plugin.getInjections())

myObject.$t('hello', { name: 'World' })

See the Mixin page to see what global helpers are available.
