vuejs treeselect - delay loading does not work via vuex action - vue.js

Question

Using Vue TreeSelect Plugin to load a nested list of nodes from firebase backend. It's doc page says,
It's also possible to have root level options to be delayed loaded. If no options have been initially registered (options: null), vue-treeselect will attempt to load root options by calling loadOptions({ action, callback, instanceId }).
loadOptions (in my App.vue) dispatch vuex action_FolderNodesList, fetches (from firebase) formats (as required by vue-treeselect), and mutates the state folder_NodesList, then tries to update options this.options = this.get_FolderNodesList but this does not seems to work.
Here is the loadOptions method (in app.vue)
loadOptions() {
let getFolderListPromise = this.$store.dispatch("action_FolderNodesList");
getFolderListPromise.then(_ => {
this.options = this.get_FolderNodesList;
});
}
Vue errors out with Invalid prop: type check failed for prop "options". Expected Array, got String with value ""
I am not sure what am I doing wrong, why that does not work. A working Codesandbox demo

Any help is appreciated.

It seems you are calling this.options which would update the entire element while only the current expanding option should be updated.
It seems loadOptions() is called with some arguments that you can use to update only the current childnode. The first argument seems to contain all the required assets so I wrote my loadTreeOptions function like this:
loadTreeOptions(node) {
// On initial load, I set the 'children' to NULL for nodes to contain children
// but inserted an 'action' string with an URL to retrieve the children
axios.get(node.parentNode.action).then(response => {
// Update current node's children
node.parentNode.children = response.data.children;
// notify tree to update structure
node.callback();
}).catch(
errors => this.onFail(errors.response.data)
);
},
Then I set :load-options="loadTreeOptions" on the <vue-treeselect> element on the page. Maybe you were only missing the callback() call which updates the structure. My installation seems simpler than yours but it works properly now.
