What is the Purpose of Vue.use() While Importing a Plugin? If We Have Already Used Vue.use, Is It Required to Add It to the Components

The Vue.use() function is used to install Vue.js plugins globally. It is typically invoked to enable functionality provided by third-party Vue plugins within your Vue application.

When we use Vue.use() to install a plugin, it registers global functionality or components provided by that plugin, making them available across all components in your Vue application.

To use these functionalities globally in your Vue application, you would typically invoke Vue.use() to install the plugin in your main Vue instance (usually in your main.js or app entry point) like this:

import Vue from 'vue';
import YourPlugin from 'your-plugin'; // Replace 'your-plugin' with the actual name of the plugin
Vue.use(YourPlugin);

Now if the plugin are you using registers global components, once you use Vue.use(YourPlugin), you don’t need to import those components explicitly in every component where you want to use them. They become available globally, and you can use them directly in your templates without importing them separately.

For example, if the plugin provides a global component named YourGlobalComponent, after using Vue.use(YourPlugin), you can simply use in any component’s template without importing it again.

If you prefer local registration, that also gonna work but still, you have to install the plugin so that other parts of the plugin is available globally by default.
