Feature request: Vue composables with search state

[Rigo-m]

It would be nice to be able to access the instant search current state (or states, depending on how many instantsearch parent components we have in the page) in our component's setup via some composables like useInstantSearch, useAisStats, useCurrentRefinements etc.

We have so far chosen to not yet support composables, but you can take the logic which is in widgetMixin and put that in a composable instead in your own codebase. You can be inspired by this PR: algolia/vue-instantsearch#1052

Thanks for the quick response!
Can you elaborate on why you chose to not support it? And will you in the future?

[Haroenv]

The ratio of people who were interested to use it vs. the effort it would take to maintain the split API did not seem worth it at the time. We might in the future if there's a higher ratio of people using Vue 3.

Hope you'll reconsider, community is now big on nuxt 3 and vue 3 adoption.
Also, it's 2023, checks out 😄

For anyone stumbling across this discussion, I've started working at a nuxt 3 implementation for instantsearch https://nuxt-swiftsearch.netlify.app/
