help: Dependency injection at the plugin level

[lewebsimple]

📚 What are you trying to do? Please describe.
I'm trying to provide a value on the root Vue instance, and then inject this inside the various components / pages / layouts.

🔍 What have you tried?
I tried calling provide from setup() inside layouts/default.vueas was suggested in a couple of places, which kind of worked, but it doesn't look very clean to me (plus I'd need to have this code in every layout .... not very DRY)

I also tried creating a Nuxt plugin, which seemed like the proper way to do this, but the global provide / inject method described in the proposed RFC isn't available.

I also encountered the suggestion of assigning a new setup function to app, but this seems like it would break as soon as another plugin also assigns its own setup function.

ℹ️ Additional context
Having some kind of onSetup hook available in plugins or global provide would solve this kind of issue, people using vue-apollo-composable would have a cleaner way of providing the apollo client.

I'm not sure how dependency injection interacts with SSR and if provide could be used independently on the server and client Vue instance.

@lewebsimple Thanks for the report. Try onGlobalSetup in v0.9.2 - and let me know what you think 😃
