[Vuejs]-Using external API client JS in Vuejs SPA

You might want to read about Vue plugins.

Plugins usually add global-level functionality to Vue.

Extending Vue prototype is actually encouraged by the docs:

// 4. add an instance method
Vue.prototype.$myMethod = function (methodOptions) {
  // something logic ...
}

For such a simple usecase it may be enough, but let’s say that you’d also want to have a loading indicator component triggered on API call. It may make sense to bundle and distribute them together using a Vue plugin. You can then install all the stuff plugin consists of with a single statement.

This is exactly what vue-router does.
