+# Migration from Vuex in Shopware to Pinia
+
+## Introduction
+
+With the release of Shopware 6.7, we will replace Vuex with [Pinia](https://pinia.vuejs.org/) as the state management library for the administration.
+
+## Why Pinia?
+
+Migrating to Pinia simplifies state management with an intuitive API, no need for mutations, better TypeScript support, and seamless integration with Vue 3 Composition API. It’s lightweight, modular, and offers modern features like devtools support, making it a more efficient alternative to Vuex.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+To migrate a Vuex store to Pinia, you need to make some changes to the store definition and how you access it in components.
+
+- First, register it with `Shopware.Store.register` and define the store with `state`, `getters`, and `actions` properties:
+
+**Before (Vuex):**
+
+```javascript
+export default {
+    namespaced: true,
+
+    state: {
+      // Initial state
+      ...
+    },
+    mutations: {
+      ...
+    },
+    getters: {
+       ...
+    },
+    actions: {
+       ...
+    },
+}
+```
+
+**After (Pinia):**
+
+```javascript
+const store = Shopware.Store.register('<storeName>', {
+    state: () => ({
+        // Initial state
+        ...
+    }),
+    getters: {
+       ...
+    },
+    actions: {
+       ...
+    },
+});
+export default store;
+```
+
+- You can also register the store with an `id` property in the definition object, for example:
+
+```javascript
+const store = Shopware.Store.register({
+    id: '<storeName>',
+    state: () => ({
+        // Initial state
+    }),
+    getters: {
+       // ...
+    },
+    actions: {
+       // ...
+    },
+});
+```
+
+- If you register a store that already exists, it will be overwritten. You can also unregister a store:
+
+```javascript
+Shopware.Store.unregister('<storeName>');
+```
+
+- To register a store from a component or index file, simply import the store file.
+
+**Before (Vuex):**
+
+```javascript
+import productsStore from './state/products.state';
+
+Shopware.State.registerModule('product', productsStore);
+```
+
+**After (Pinia):**
+
+```javascript
+import './state/products.state';
+```
+
+### Key Changes
+
+#### State
+
+In Pinia, `state` must be a function returning the initial state instead of a static object.
+
+ ```javascript
+ state: () => ({
+     productName: '',
+ })
+ ```
+
+#### Mutations
+
+Vuex `mutations` are no longer needed in Pinia, since you can modify state directly in actions or compute it dynamically.
+
+```javascript
+actions: {
+    updateProductName(newName) {
+        this.productName = newName; // Directly update state
+    },
+},
+```
+
+#### Getters
+
+- There cannot be getters with the same name as a property in the state, as both are exposed at the same level in the store.
+- Getters should be used to compute and return information based on state, without modifying it.
+
+#### TypeScript
+
+We recommend migrating JavaScript stores to TypeScript for stricter typing, better autocompletion, and fewer errors during development.
+
+```typescript
+const store = Shopware.Store.register({
+  id: 'myStore',
+  ...
+});
+
+export type StoreType = ReturnType<typeof store>;
+```
+
+Then, you can use this type to extend `PiniaRootState`:
+
+```typescript
+import type { StoreType } from './store/myStore';
+
+declare global {
+    interface PiniaRootState {
+        myStore: StoreType;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Composables as a Store
+
+With Pinia, you can use reactive properties inside a store and define it like a composable. Keep in mind that only variables and functions returned from the store will be tracked by Pinia in devtools.
+
+```typescript
+const store = Shopware.Store.register('<storeName>', function() {
+  const count = ref(0);
+
+  const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2);
+
+  function increment() {
+    count.value++;
+  }
+
+  function decrement() {
+    count.value--;
+  }
+
+  return { count, doubled, increment, decrement };
+});
+```
+
+You can also use a composable function defined outside the store. This allows you to encapsulate and reuse logic across different stores or components, promoting better code organization and modularity:
+
+```typescript
+// composables/myComposable.ts
+export function useMyComposable() {
+  const count = ref(0);
+
+  const doubled = computed(() => count.value * 2);
+
+  function increment() {
+    count.value++;
+  }
+
+  function decrement() {
+    count.value--;
+  }
+
+  return { count, doubled, increment, decrement };
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// store/myStore.ts
+import { useMyComposable } from '../composables/myComposable';
+
+const store = Shopware.Store.register('myStore', useMyComposable);
+```
+
+### Accessing the Store
+
+To access the store in Vuex, you would typically do:
+
+```javascript
+Shopware.State.get('<storeName>');
+```
+
+When migrating to Pinia, it changes to:
+
+```javascript
+Shopware.Store.get('<storeName>');
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+To test your store, just import it so it's registered. You can use `$reset()` to reset the store before each test:
+
+```javascript
+import './store/my.store';
+
+describe('my store', () => {
+  const store = Shopware.Store.get('myStore');
+
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    store.$reset();
+  });
+
+  it('has initial state', () => {
+    expect(store.count).toBe(0);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+When testing components that use Pinia stores, register Pinia as a plugin and reset it before each test:
+
+```javascript
+import { createPinia, setActivePinia } from 'pinia';
+
+const pinia = createPinia();
+
+describe('my component', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    setActivePinia(pinia);
+  });
+
+  it('is a component', async () => {
+    const wrapper = mount(await wrapTestComponent('myComponent', { sync: true }), {
+      global: {
+        plugins: [pinia],
+        stubs: {
+          // ...
+        },
+      },
+    });
+
+    expect(wrapper.exists()).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
