Is vue-axios necessary if axios is only outside of *.vue files?

[1Luc1]

I'm wondering if it is necessary or are there any advantages to use vue-axios if axios is only used outside of *.vue files, e.g. .js files?

httpClient.js

import axios from 'axios';

const httpClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000/api'
});
