How to Fix Vue Readonly

DodaTech Updated 2026-06-26 1 min read

The Problem

In this quick-fix, you will learn using readonly for immutable state. This matters because readonly prevents unwanted mutations. In real-world applications, this pattern appears in providing state to child components.

The Wrong Way

const state = reactive({ count: 0 });
// No readonly - state is mutable everywhere
Incorrect implementation

The Right Way

const state = readonly(reactive({ count: 0 }));
// Prevents mutations
Correct implementation with Composition API

Prevention

  • Always use the official API
  • Follow Vue best practices
  • Test your implementation
  • Document your patterns

It is a set of additive function-based APIs for creating Vue components

Is Composition API better than Options API?
