Vuex: Can I use function names of mutations/actions instead of constants? - vue.js

Is it a good idea to use function name property instead of constants for actions/mutations, like the code below?
Author of Vuex official documentation says that it is not required to use constants for actions/mutations. So I want to try to use type is based on function name.
Component:
this.$store.dispatch(authActions.login.name, {
email: this.email,
password: this.password
})
Action:
async login(context, { email, password }) {
// some code
}
I am waiting for the following answers:
1) Yes, you can use it, there are no potential problems with this
approach.
2) Yes, but these problems [problems] can happen.
3) No, there are a lot of problems: [problems].

I think it's option number 2).
The problem comes when you want to dispatch namespaced modules actions.

You can do this and it does work, but I noticed when I minify my code for production it stops working.
I suspect there's some code that maps the function names (ie login()) to their minified version (ie h()) during bundling, and that's breaking things.
I've been trying to figure this out for a while with no luck. I agree defining constants to use as function names, instead of grabbing the name after like myFunction.name, is stupid. I'll update my comment if I figure it out. I'll keep trying...

Vue Routing for filters with multiple queries

I’m writing my first vue-app and while implementing the filters a lot of questions arise.
I have created lists with checkboxes for each property. The checkboxes have a change-event to adjust the url and send a get-request. One key can have several values. How can I implement this with vue?
A first test to adjust the URL looked like this:
router.push({ name: 'transactions' , query: { property: item.value} });
This works fine with one value, but I want to have multiple values for one key.
Many pages solve this with: xy.com/z?property=x%y
I could not find out if this scheme is only recommended or if it has to be solved that way. How I can implement it with vue I could not find out too.
I would also like to know how I can extend the route. The following statement always overwrites the URL instead of extending it.
this.$router.push({ name: 'transactions', query: Object.assign({}, this.$route.query, { property: item.value })});
I am grateful for any help

Nuxt encode/decode URI with double colon

My URLs have double colon on them.
I push a path to Nuxt router which has : as a part of it.
export default {
router: {
extendRoutes (routes, resolve) {
routes.push({
name: 'custom',
path: 'towns' + '(:[0-9].*)?/',
component: resolve(__dirname, 'pages/404.vue')
})
}
}
}
When I point to http://localhost:3000/towns:3 , for example, the : is translated as %3Aon the URL leading to this error message:
Expected "1" to match ":[0-9].*", but received "%3A2"
How to revert this to : ?
I tried encodeURI(), decodeURI(), encodeURIComponent() and decodeURIComponent() in vain.
A demo for the ones who wants to try: nuxt-extend-routes
Any suggestions are welcome
Vuex is using vue-router and vue-router is using path-to-regexp to parse router path configuration
It seems to me, that you are trying to use Unnamed Parameters which doesn't make sense because vue-router/vuex need the name of the parameter to pass it down to Vue component behind the route
Why don't just use named parameters ?
{
path: '/towns:id(:\\d+)',
name: 'Page 3',
component: Page3
}
Sure, result will be that $route.params.id value will be prefixed with : and all router-link params must be :XX instead of 'XX' but that's something you can deal with. vue-router (path-to-regexp) is using : to "mark" named path parameters ...there's no way around it
You can take a look at this sandbox. Its not Nuxt but I'm pretty sure it will work in Nuxt same way....
Update
Well it really doesn't work in Nuxt. It seems Nuxt is for some reason applying encodeURIComponent() on matched path segments and throws an error. It works when server-side rendering tho (it throws some error on client still)...
Firstly, I concur with Michal Levý's answer that there's a library bug here. The line throwing the error is here in the Nuxt source:
https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/112d836e6ebbf1bd0fbde3d7c006d4d88577aadf/packages/vue-app/template/utils.js#L523
You'll notice that a few lines up the segment is encoded, leading to : switching to %3A.
However, this line appears to have originated from path-to-regexp:
https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp/blob/v1.7.0/index.js#L212
It isn't trivial to fix this bug because the encoding is not simply 'wrong'. There's a lot of stuff going on here and by the time that line is reached the parameter values have been URL decoded from their original values. In the case of our unencoded : that causes problems but in other cases, such as matching %3A, the encoding would be required.
The handling of encoding within path-to-regexp is a delicate topic and we aren't helped by the old version being used. This also makes it more difficult to come up with a suitable workaround in your application.
So, let's see what we can do...
To start with, let's consider the path:
path: 'towns' + '(:[0-9].*)?/',
Bit odd to concatenate the strings like that, so I'm going to combine them:
path: 'towns(:[0-9].*)?/',
The / on the end isn't hurting but it seems to be unnecessary noise for the purposes of this question so I'm going to drop it.
On the flip side, not having a / at the start can cause major problems so I'm going to add one in.
The .* is suspicious too. Do you really mean match anything? e.g. The current route will match towns:3abcd. Is that really what you want? My suspicion is that you want to match just digits. e.g. towns:3214. For that I've used [0-9]+.
That leaves us with this:
path: '/towns(:[0-9]+)?',
Now, the : problem.
In general, route paths are used in both directions: to match/parse the URL and to build the URL. Your use of an unnamed parameter makes me wonder whether you only intend to use this route for matching purposes.
One option might be this:
path: '/towns:([0-9]+)',
By moving the : outside the parameter it dodges the encoding problem.
There are two problems with the code above:
The colon/number suffix is no longer optional on the URL. i.e. It won't match the path /towns as the original route did. This can be solved by registering /towns as a separate route. I'm not aware of any other way to solve this problem with the available version of path-to-regexp.
You won't be able to use it to build URLs, e.g. with nuxt-link.
If you need to be able to use it to build URLs too then you could use a named parameter instead:
path: '/towns::town([0-9]+)',
The :: part here is potentially confusing. The first : is treated literally whereas the second : is used as a prefix for the town parameter. You might then use that with nuxt-link like this:
<NuxtLink :to="{ name: 'custom', params: { town: 4 } }">
...
</NuxtLink>

Laravel scope not responding

I am using laravel for my backend api.
My question is about an scopefilter, the problem is that it is not responding when I call to it.
I have a lot of examples for using scopefilters.
So I looked at each of them to see if I did something wrong.
But I can't seem to find the problem.
When I call to this model in laravel, I use a parameter to define too the scopefilter to use a specific function.
The point only is that it never gets to this function, I don't get a response when I have put a log in this function.
I assume it is a syntax problem but maybe someone else can find the problem for this.
public static $scopeFilters = [
"supplierArticleClientId" => "bySupplierArticleClientId"
];
public function scopeBySupplierArticleClientId($query, $clientId) {
\Log::info([$clientId]);
}
In this case I expect that I see an clientId in my log.

How to access Nuxt context variable from Vuex action

I want to access context variable to use the isMobile flag to select a different endpoint depending on the result. I could pass it on the dispatch from the component, but I know there should be one way to do it.
export const actions = {
...
signUpGoogle({ commit }) {
fireauth.useDeviceLanguage()
if (context.isMobile) {
fireauth.signInWithPopup(GoogleProvider).then ...
} else {
fireauth.signInWithRedirect(GoogleProvider)
}
}
I saw here that it can be obtained on server init, but I really don't want to rely on this as caching will mess things up
https://nuxtjs.org/guide/vuex-store/#the-nuxtserverinit-action
Thanks for the help
I'm not sure if you're talking about an environment variable here, but below is the answer if it is.
Looking on this GH issue, we can find out that you can use this.app.$config.isMobile (basically referencing env variables aka publicRuntimeConfig values in your nuxt.config.js).
You can do one thing in nuxtServerInit, set this variable in state using the context, and then use state.isMobile to do this type of API Calls. Hopefully, that should solve this.
If it's not very clear, I can edit to give some code examples

Passing variables into JavaScript in ExpressJS/PassportJS/Jade app

This is essentially a continuation of the question here: Nodejs Passport display username.
app.get('/hello', function(req, res) {
res.render('index.jade', { name: req.user.username });
});
So users log in via PassportJS, and goes to index.jade, which contains #{name} in the body, which will be replaced by the value of req.user.username.
Question: Is it possible to use the value of req.user.username in index.jade's JavaScript? I tried assigning its value to a variable but it doesn't work.
I have been using the trick of having a hidden input with #{name} as value:
input(type='hidden', id='variableName', value='#{name}')
Then JavaScript can access this value using:
$("#variableName").val()
This works. But does it have any potential downside like security issues? What is the right way to do this?
You have a few options. One of them is what you did and put the value inside you html. You can also solve it by doing:
script
window.name = #{name};
This will create an inline script that sets the variable. The other option you have is using ajax. That means you probably need to make an extra route to reply to that request.
