docs: add advanced skills for Vitest, Pinia, and Vue built-ins
Add comprehensive reference documentation for:
- Vitest: environments, projects/workspaces, type testing, vi utilities
- Pinia: HMR, Nuxt integration, SSR setup
- Vue: built-in components (Transition, Teleport, Suspense, KeepAlive) and advanced directives

# refWithControl
Fine-grained controls over ref and its reactivity.
## Usage
`refWithControl` uses `extendRef` to provide two extra functions `get` and `set` to have better control over when it should track/trigger the reactivity.
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
const num = refWithControl(0)
const doubled = computed(() => num.value * 2)
// just like normal ref
num.value = 42
console.log(num.value) // 42
console.log(doubled.value) // 84
// set value without triggering the reactivity
num.set(30, false)
console.log(num.value) // 30
console.log(doubled.value) // 84 (doesn't update)
// get value without tracking the reactivity
watchEffect(() => {
console.log(num.peek())
}) // 30
num.value = 50 // watch effect wouldn't be triggered since it collected nothing.
console.log(doubled.value) // 100 (updated again since it's a reactive set)
```
### `peek`, `lay`, `untrackedGet`, `silentSet`
We also provide some shorthands for doing the get/set without track/triggering the reactivity system. The following lines are equivalent.
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
const foo = refWithControl('foo')
```
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
const foo = refWithControl('foo')
// ---cut---
// getting
foo.get(false)
foo.untrackedGet()
foo.peek() // an alias for `untrackedGet`
```
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
const foo = refWithControl('foo')
// ---cut---
// setting
foo.set('bar', false)
foo.silentSet('bar')
foo.lay('bar') // an alias for `silentSet`
```
## Configurations
### `onBeforeChange()`
`onBeforeChange` option is offered to give control over if a new value should be accepted. For example:
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
const num = refWithControl(0, {
onBeforeChange(value, oldValue) {
// disallow changes larger then ±5 in one operation
if (Math.abs(value - oldValue) > 5)
return false // returning `false` to dismiss the change
},
})
num.value += 1
console.log(num.value) // 1
num.value += 6
console.log(num.value) // 1 (change been dismissed)
```
### `onChanged()`
`onChanged` option offers a similar functionally as Vue's `watch` but being synchronized with less overhead compared to `watch`.
```ts
import { refWithControl } from '@vueuse/core'
// ---cut---
const num = refWithControl(0, {
onChanged(value, oldValue) {
console.log(value)
},
})
```
## Type Declarations
```ts
export interface ControlledRefOptions<T> {
/**
* Callback function before the ref changing.
*
* Returning `false` to dismiss the change.
*/
onBeforeChange?: (value: T, oldValue: T) => void | boolean
/**
* Callback function after the ref changed
*
* This happens synchronously, with less overhead compare to `watch`
*/
onChanged?: (value: T, oldValue: T) => void
}
/**
* Fine-grained controls over ref and its reactivity.
*
* @__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__
*/
export declare function refWithControl<T>(
initial: T,
options?: ControlledRefOptions<T>,
): ShallowUnwrapRef<{
get: (tracking?: boolean) => T
set: (value: T, triggering?: boolean) => void
untrackedGet: () => T
silentSet: (v: T) => void
peek: () => T
lay: (v: T) => void
}> &
Ref<T, T>
/** @deprecated use `refWithControl` instead */
export declare const controlledRef: typeof refWithControl
```
