Vue deals only with the view layer. So I would't directly compare it to Angular. But the authors do give you Vuex, for Redux-style state management, and Vue-Router which does exactly that.
Alternatively:
- use a second Vue instance as an event bus. Bonus points as the Vue devtools list all the events fired. Makes it easy to debug.
- due to it's reactive nature, Vue let's you implement a single source of truth quite easily. [1]
- Using dynamic components, you might not even need a router [2]
Personally, I've tried to use the single source of truth pattern but quickly resorted to Vuex. It just resonates with me.
