fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

useBattery

Reactive Battery Status API, more often referred to as the Battery API, provides information about the system's battery charge level and lets you be notified by events that are sent when the battery level or charging status change. This can be used to adjust your app's resource usage to reduce battery drain when the battery is low, or to save changes before the battery runs out in order to prevent data loss.

Usage

import { useBattery } from '@vueuse/core';

const { charging, chargingTime, dischargingTime, level } = useBattery();
State Type Description
charging Boolean If the device is currently charging.
chargingTime Number The number of seconds until the device becomes fully charged.
dischargingTime Number The number of seconds before the device becomes fully discharged.
level Number A number between 0 and 1 representing the current charge level.

Use-cases

Our applications normally are not empathetic to battery level, we can make a few adjustments to our applications that will be more friendly to low battery users.

  • Trigger a special "dark-mode" battery saver theme settings.
  • Stop auto playing videos in news feeds.
  • Disable some background workers that are not critical.
  • Limit network calls and reduce CPU/Memory consumption.

Component Usage

<template>
  <UseBattery v-slot="{ charging }"> Is Charging: {{ charging }} </UseBattery>
</template>
