Vuex update state by using store actions - vue.js

Question

I have two functions in my store, one that gets data by calling API and one that toggles change on cell "approved". Everything working fine, except that when I toggle this change it happens in database and I get the response that it is done but It doesn't update on UI.
I am confused, what should I do after toggling change to reflect change on UI, should I call my API from .then or should I call action method responsible for getting data from server.
export default {
state: {
drivers: {
allDrivers:[],
driversError:null
},
isLoading: false,
token: localStorage.getItem('token'),
driverApproved: null,
driverNotApproved: null
},
getters: {
driversAreLoading (state) {
return state.isLoading;
},
driverError (state) {
return state.drivers.driversError;
},
getAllDrivers(state){
return state.drivers.allDrivers
}
},
mutations: {
getAllDrivers (state) {
state.isLoading=true;
state.drivers.driversError=null;
},
allDriversAvailable(state,payload){
state.isLoading=false;
state.drivers.allDrivers=payload;
},
allDriversNotAvailable(state,payload){
state.isLoading=false;
state.drivers.driversError=payload;
},
toggleDriverApproval(state){
state.isLoading = true;
},
driverApprovalCompleted(state){
state.isLoading = false;
state.driverApproved = true;
},
driverApprovalError(state){
state.isLoading = false;
state.driverError = true;
}
},
actions: {
allDrivers (context) {
context.commit("getAllDrivers")
return new Promise((res,rej)=>{
http.get('/api/admin/getAllDrivers').then(
response=>{
if (response.data.success){
let data=response.data.data;
data=data.map(function (driver) {
return {
/* response */
};
});
context.commit("allDriversAvailable",data);
res();
}else {
context.commit("allDriversNotAvailable",response.data)
rej()
}
})
.catch(error=>{
context.commit("allDriversNotAvailable",error.data)
rej()
});
});
},
toggleDriverApproval (context, payload){
return new Promise((res, rej)=>{
http.post("/api/admin/toggleDriverApproval",{
driver_id: payload
})
.then( response => {
context.commit('driverApprovalCompleted');
res();
}).catch( error =>{
context.commit('driverApprovalError');
rej()
})
})
}
}
}
and here is the code on the view, I wrote the necessary code for better clarification of the problem
export default {
name: 'Drivers',
data: () => ({
data: [],
allDrivers: [],
driversErrors: []
}),
created() {
this.$store
.dispatch('allDrivers')
.then(() => {
this.data = this.$store.getters.getAllDrivers
})
.catch(() => {
this.errors = this.$store.getters.driverError
})
},
computed: {
isLoading() {
return this.$store.getters.driversAreLoading
}
},
methods: {
verify: function(row) {
console.log(row)
this.$store.dispatch('toggleDriverApproval', row.id).then(() => {
this.data = this.$store.getters.getAllDrivers
console.log('done dis')
})
},
},
}

if I understand your issue, you want the UI displaying your data to change to the updated data after making a post request.
If you are using Vuex you will want to commit a mutation, and use a getter display the data.
I am not sure how your post request is being handled on the server but if successful typically you would send a response back to your front end with the updated data, and commit a mutation with the updated data.
Example:
Make a Post request
toggleDriverApproval (context, payload){
return new Promise((res, rej)=>{
http.post("/api/admin/toggleDriverApproval",{
driver_id: payload
})
.then( response => {
context.commit('driverApprovalCompleted', response.data);
res();
}).catch( error =>{
context.commit('driverApprovalError', error.response.data);
rej()
})
})
}
If succesful commit the mutation
.then( response => {
context.commit('driverApprovalCompleted', response.data);
res();
})
response.data being your data you want to mutate the state with.
Mutation Example:
customMutation(state, data) {
state.driverApproval = data
}
Getter Example:
driver(state) {
return state.driverApproval
}
displaying the getter in a template
<template>
<div v-if="driver">{{driver}}</div>
</template>
<script>
import {mapGetters} from 'vuex'
export default {
name: Example,
computed: {
driver() {
return this.$store.getters.driver
},
// or use mapGetters
...mapGetters(['driver'])
}
}
</script>
