Vuex: Access State From Another Module

I want to access state.session in instance.js from records_view.js. How is this accomplished?

store/modules/instance.js

const state = {
  // This is what I want to access in records_view.js
  session: {}
};

const getters = {
  sessionGetter: state => state.session
};

store/modules/records_view.js

const actions = {
  getSettingsAction (context, props) {
    // This is how I'm trying to access session, which doesn't work
    let session = context.state.instance.session;

    Api(
      context,
      {
        noun: props.noun,
        verb: 'GetRecordsViewSettings',
        orgUnitKey: _.has(session, 'orgunit.key') ? session.orgunit.key : '',
        data: {}
      },
      props.callback
    );
  }
};

This is for a little bit of added context.

store/index.js

import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';
import * as actions from './actions';
import * as getters from './getters';
import * as types from './mutation-types';

import instance from './modules/instance';
import recordsView from './modules/records_view';

Vue.use(Vuex);

export default new Vuex.Store({
  state,
  actions,
  getters,
  mutations,
  modules: {
    instance,
    recordsView
  }
});

state references local state and rootState should be used when accessing the state of other modules.

let session = context.rootState.instance.session;

Documentation: https://vuex.vuejs.org/en/modules.html


from an action :

'contacts:update' ({ commit, rootState }) {
    console.log('rootState', rootState.users.form)
    ......

  },

For me I had vuex modules, but needed a mutation to update STATE in a different file. Was able to accomplish this by adding THIS

Even in the module you can see what global state you have access to via console.log(this.state)

const mutations = {
MuteChangeAmt(state, payload) {
//From user module; Need THIS keyword to access global state
this.state.user.payees.amount = payload.changedAmt;
 }
}

this.$store.state.instance.session

where "instance" is the module name and "session" is the Vuex state variable you're trying to access.


In my case, this is how it worked for me.

In file ModuleA.js:

export const state = {
    parameterInA: 'A'
 }
export const action = {
    showParameterB() {
    console.log("Parameter B is: " + this.state.B.parameterInB)
}

In file ModuleB:

export const state = {
    parameterInB: 'B'
 }

export const action = {
    showParameterA() {
    console.log("Parameter A is: " + this.state.A.parameterInA)
}  

You will need to import ModuleA & B in the index.js for the root:

import * as A from 'ModuleA.js'  
import * as B from 'ModuleB.js'

This way, state parameter can be cross-referenced in sub modules.
