What are the limitations of Vue's keep-alive component?

Vue's keep-alive component is great for caching components, but it has some limitations. For instance, it doesn't cache components that are not mounted, and it can lead to memory issues if too many components are kept alive.

Can you explain how it affects performance?

Sure! While keep-alive can improve performance by avoiding re-renders, if too many components are cached, it can consume more memory and slow down the application.

Are there any best practices to follow?

Yes, it's best to limit the number of components you keep alive, use the 'include' and 'exclude' props wisely, and monitor memory usage to avoid performance degradation.

What happens if I exceed the memory limit?

Exceeding memory limits can lead to performance issues, such as slow response times or even crashes. It's important to manage the components you keep alive.

Is there a way to dynamically control which components are cached?

Yes, you can use the 'include' and 'exclude' props dynamically based on your application's state to control which components are cached.
