Socket.io Bindings for Vue.js and Vuex

Vue-Socket.io-Extended is a robust library that provides seamless integration of Socket.io with Vue.js applications, including comprehensive support for Vuex state management. The current stable version is `4.2.0`, which targets Vue 2.x. Development is active for `v5.0.0-alpha` releases, which introduce support for Vue 3.x. The project aims to offer a more stable, tested, and feature-rich alternative to its inspiration, Vue-Socket.io, focusing on aspects like reactive properties for connection status, automatic dispatching of Vuex actions/mutations based on socket events, and strong TypeScript support. Its release cadence shows periodic updates, with significant work being done for the next major Vue 3 compatible version. It differentiates itself with lightweight design, good TypeScript support (including decorators), and flexibility in handling Socket.io client versions.
