How to access Vuex module getters and mutations?
I'm trying to switch to using Vuex instead of my homegrown store object, and I must say I'm not finding the docs as clear as elsewhere in the Vue.js world. Let's say I have a Vuex module called 'products', with its own state, mutations, getters, etc. How do I reference an action in that module called, say, 'clearWorking Data'? The docs give this example of accessing a module's state:
store.state.a // -> moduleA's state
But nothing I can see about getters, mutations, actions, etc.
Solution 1:
In Addition to the accepted answer I wanna provide you with a workarround for the getter which is missing in the answer.
Debug the Store
In any case you can call console.log(this.$store)
to debug the Store.
If you do so you will see the getters are prefixed with the namespace in their name.
Access namespaced getterthis.$store.getters['yourModuleName/someGetterMethod']
Dispatch namespacedthis.$store.dispatch('yourModuleName/doSomething')
Dispatch namespaced with paramsthis.$store.getters['yourModuleName/someGetterMethod'](myParam)
Conclusion
The key is to handle the namespace like a file System like Justin explained.
Edit: found a nice library for handling vuex Store
In addition to the basic knowledge I'd like to add this vuex library as a nice addition for working effectivly and fast with the vuex store. https://github.com/davestewart/vuex-pathify .
It looks pretty interesting and cares much of the configuration for you and also allows you to handle 2waybinding directly with vuex.
** Edit: Thanks to the other Answers. Added Dispatching method with params for wholeness.
Solution 2:
In your example it would be store.dispatch('products/clearWorkingData')
you can think of actions/mutations as a file system in a way. The deeper the modules are nested the deeper in the tree they are.
so you could go store.commit('first/second/third/method')
if you had a tree that was three levels deep.
Solution 3:
As another addition to the accepted answer, if you need to pass parameter(s) to the getter (for instance to fetch a specific item from the store collection), you need to pass it as follows:
this.$store.getters['yourModuleName/someGetterMethod'](myParam)
I don't think I like this notation very much, but it is what it is - at least for the moment.
Solution 4:
Try this approach!
getCounter(){
return this.$store.getters['auth/getToken'];
}
auth
is my module name and getToken
is my getter.
