What is a Vue Event Bus and how do I use it?

A Vue Event Bus is a simple way to manage state and communication between components in Vue.js. It allows you to emit and listen for events across different components.

Can you give me an example of how to set it up?

Sure! First, create a new Vue instance as your event bus. Then, in your components, you can use this.$bus.$emit('eventName', data) to emit an event and this.$bus.$on('eventName', callback) to listen for it.

Is it a good practice to use Event Bus for state management?

While it's useful for small applications, for larger apps, consider using Vuex for more structured state management.

What are the limitations of using an Event Bus?

The main limitations include potential difficulty in tracking events, lack of a clear data flow, and challenges in debugging.
