Use getter in the same module in which it was created - vue.js

Is it possible to initialize state's property using getter which was created in the same module? Something like this:
export const gamesModule = {
state: {
games: [],
selectedGameID: null,
playerOnTurnID: this.getters.getSelectedGame.playerData[0]
},
getters: {
getGames: state => state.games,
getselectedGameID: state => state.selectedGameID,
getSelectedGame: state => getSelectedGameById(state.games, state.selectedGameID),
},
mutations: {
SET_GAMES (state, game) {
state.games.push(game);
},
SET_SELECTED_GAME_ID (state, id) {
state.selectedGameID = id;
},
SET_PLAYER_ON_TURN_ID (state, playerID) {
state.playerOnTurnID = playerID;
}
},
actions: {
async createGame({ commit }) {
try {
const { data } = await gameService.createGame();
commit('SET_GAMES', data);
} catch (error) {
console.warn('Error creating new game: ', error);
}
},
setSelectedGameID({ commit }, id) {
commit('SET_SELECTED_GAME_ID', id);
},
};
Written like this, it does not work because getters are undefined.

this does not exist in an object's context, and is only really applicable in constructor functions or classes.
I see two problems here.
First of all, you can't reference the object itself, because it hasn't been defined yet. You would have to create a local variable before declaring the object that would have the common property, in this case, the getter function.
Second of all, more importantly, I'm not sure it would help to access the getter (Reducer) function, as it has no knowledge of the state, which is passed to it as the first parameter by the underlying Vuex library when processing mutations (Actions).
Vuex is based upon the Redux pattern, Action -> Reducer -> Store, I would recommend reading it a quick introduction on how Redux works, as it will help you understand a lot better the action flow inside of Vuex.

Vuex store error when updating existing store item

Little confused here...
I am trying to update a nested object in a Vuex state, which seems to work until I try to add another new value.
Here is my mutation
export const mutations = {
add(state, block) {
state.blocks.push({
type: block,
data: {},
style: {}
})
},
modify(state, [i, key, obj]) {
state.blocks[i][key] = Object.assign({}, state.blocks[i][key], obj)
},
remove(state, index) {
state.blocks.splice(index, 1)
console.log(index)
}
}
Actions:
export const actions = {
createBlock(context, type) {
context.commit('add', type);
},
updateBlock(context, payload) {
context.commit('modify', payload);
},
removeBlock(context, index) {
context.commit('remove', index)
}
}
And my dispatch of the action
this.$store.dispatch('updateBlock', [this.index, 'data', this.obj]) // works
this.$store.dispatch('updateBlock', [this.index, 'style', {m: newMargin}]) //throws error
When I update a Block with the type being data, things work, though when I try to add new data to the style object I get an error
[vuex] do not mutate vuex store state outside mutation handlers.
The end goal is to be able to add key/values to the styles object in the block. This will allow me to create dynamic class names.
What the heck am I missing? I feel like it has to do with Object.assign

Can you commit a mutation from a getter call?

My Vuex module looks something like the below snippet. I use a getter to get various values from the parent object based on some logic in the parameters, (e.g. removing some options from a dropdown box based on other values in the object), and for example if something in the state would cause the returned value to have the locked property set to true, I want to fire off a mutation call to update the main object. I could do this on the vue level (where I get the computed values) using a dispatch call, but I'd rather not have to maintain that dispatch call in every place my getter is used. Can I call the mutation from the getter call directly? I've tried doing it as shown below but it keeps telling me commit is not a function.
var module = {
state: {
myObj: {
propertyA: { /* object with multiple different children */ },
}
},
getters: {
getField: state => params => {
switch(params.option) {
/*logic based on current state values*/
var ret = state.PropertyA[params.Field];
if(ret.conditionalProperty) {
// update state.Property[otherKey]
commit('updateField', { myValue: true }); // The problem in question
}
return ret;
}
},
mutations: {
updateField(state, payload) { state.PropertyA.Field = payload },
}
}

Nuxt store getter not working, ID given to payload is not an Integer + Error: [vuex] do not mutate vuex store state outside mutation handlers

I am trying to make a product detail page. The detail page is named _id.
When opened the id is replaced with the product id. On opening the page the state is set with data fetched from an api.
After that i am trying to use a computed property that refers to a getter named getProduct() with an id (this.$route.params.id) in the payload.
This is how my _id.vue looks like:
methods: {
...mapActions("products", ["fetchProducts",]),
...mapGetters("products", ["getProduct",]),
},
async mounted() {
this.fetchProducts()
},
computed: {
product() {
return this.getProduct(this.$route.params.id)
}
}
This is how my store file named products.js looks like:
import axios from "axios"
export const state = () => ({
producten: []
})
export const mutations = {
setProducts(state, data) {
state.producten = data
}
}
export const getters = {
getProduct(state, id) {
console.log(id)
return state.producten.filter(product => product.id = id)
}
}
export const actions = {
async fetchProducts({ commit }) {
await axios.get('/api/products')
.then(res => {
var data = res.data
commit('setProducts', data)
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
}
}
What works is creating the state, but when i try to use the getter something goes wrong.
As you can see i console.log() the id given to it. Which logs the following:
I also get the error: client.js?06a0:103 Error: [vuex] do not mutate vuex store state outside mutation handlers.
Which I'm not doing as far as I know?
**Note: **these errors get logged as much as the length of my state array is.
From the Vuex documentation:
Vuex allows us to define "getters" in the store. You can think of them as computed properties for stores. Like computed properties, a getter's result is cached based on its dependencies, and will only re-evaluate when some of its dependencies have changed.
Like computed, getters does not support having arguments.
But there is a way to have "method-style access" to a getter: https://vuex.vuejs.org/guide/getters.html#property-style-access
You can also pass arguments to getters by returning a function. This is particularly useful when you want to query an array in the store:
getters: {
// ...
getTodoById: (state) => (id) => {
return state.todos.find(todo => todo.id === id)
}
}
store.getters.getTodoById(2) // -> { id: 2, text: '...', done: false }
Note that getters accessed via methods will run each time you call them, and the result is not cached.

Computed property “eleron” was assigned to but it has no setter

How to fix it?
computed: {
...mapGetters({
eleron: 'promoter/eleron',
}),
},
GetInfo (call when press search button):
getInfo() {
this.loading = true;
axios.post('/srt', {
search: this.search
})
.then((response) => {this.eleron = response.data, console.log(response.data), this.loading = false;});
},
You are mapping the getters from vuex. This means that you can only get the value from the store, you cannot write to it.
You need to also map a mutation.
Something like this should work, depending on the fact that you have a mutation defined on the store:
methods: {
...mapMutations([
'updateEleron'
]),
}
And then call it in the promise callback
this.updateEleron(response.data)
Note: vuex offers read only access to variables from outside the store. Writing to a variable needs to be done from inside a mutation or action.

Updating getter value Vuex store when state changes

I'm trying to figure out how to properly update a getter value when some other variable from VueX changes/updates.
Currently I'm using this way in a component to update:
watch: {
dates () {
this.$set(this.linedata[0].chartOptions.xAxis,"categories",this.dates)
}
}
So my getter linedata should be updated with dates value whenever dates changes. dates is state variable from VueX store.
The thing is with this method the value won't be properly updated when I changed route/go to different components. So I think it's better to do this kind of thing using the VueX store.
dates is updated with an API call, so I use an action to update it.
So the question is how can I do such an update from the VueX store?
EDIT:
I tried moving this to VueX:
async loadData({ commit }) {
let response = await Api().get("/cpu");
commit("SET_DATA", {
this.linedata[0].chartOptions.xAxis,"categories": response.data.dates1,
this.linedata[1].chartOptions.xAxis,"categories": response.data.dates2
});
}
SET_DATA(state, payload) {
state = Object.assign(state, payload);
}
But the above does not work, as I cannot set nested object in action this way...
Getters are generally for getting, not setting. They are like computed for Vuex, which return calculated data. They update automatically when reactive contents change. So it's probably best to rethink the design so that only state needs to be updated. Either way, Vuex should be updated only with actions/mutations
Given your example and the info from all your comments, using linedata as state, your action and mutation would look something like this:
actions: {
async loadData({ commit }) {
let response = await Api().get("/cpu");
commit('SET_DATA', response.data.dates);
}
}
mutations: {
SET_DATA(state, dates) {
Vue.set(state.linedata[0].chartOptions.xAxis, 'categories', dates[0]);
Vue.set(state.linedata[1].chartOptions.xAxis, 'categories', dates[1]);
}
}
Which you could call, in the component for example, like:
this.$store.dispatch('loadData');
Using Vue.set is necessary for change detection in this case and requires the following import:
import Vue from 'vue';
Theoretically, there should be a better way to design your backend API so that you can just set state.linedata = payload in the mutation, but this will work with what you have.
Here is a simple example of a Vuex store for an user.
export const state = () => ({
user: {}
})
export const mutations = {
set(state, user) {
state.user = user
},
unset(state) {
state.user = {}
},
patch(state, user) {
state.user = Object.assign({}, state.user, user)
}
}
export const actions = {
async set({ commit }) {
// TODO: Get user...
commit('set', user)
},
unset({ commit }) {
commit('unset')
},
patch({ commit }, user) {
commit('patch', user)
}
}
export const getters = {
get(state) {
return state.user
}
}
If you want to set the user data, you can call await this.$store.dispatch('user/set') in any Vue instance. For patching the data you could call this.$store.dispatch('user/patch', newUserData).
The getter is then reactively updated in any Vue instance where it is mapped. You should use the function mapGetters from Vuex in the computed properties. Here is an example.
...
computed: {
...mapGetters({
user: 'user/get'
})
}
...
The three dots ... before the function call is destructuring assignment, which will map all the properties that will the function return in an object to computed properties. Those will then be reactively updated whenever you call dispatch on the user store.
Take a look at Vuex documentation for a more in depth explanation.
