Pre-fetch api data in Vuex with Nuxt.js - vuejs2

Question

I am trying to pre-fetch some data and update Vuex before client-side kicks in.
store/index.js
export const state = () => ({});
export const getters = {};
export const actions = {
async nuxtServerInit ({ dispatch }) {
await dispatch('nasa/getImages');
}
};
store/moduleName.js
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
export const state = () => ({
images: []
});
export const mutations = {
storeImages(state, data) {
state.images = [];
state.images.push(...data);
console.log(state.images[0]); <- this logs in the terminal
}
}
export const actions = {
getImages(store) {
return fetch('api/url').then(response => {
response.json().then(function(data) {
store.commit('storeImages', data.collection.items.slice(0, 24));
});
});
}
}
My mutation gets triggered by nuxtServerInit and I am getting the first element logged in the terminal on page load. My store in the client-side however, is empty.
What am I missing?

With help from a friend we have managed to fix this issue by removing node-fetch and adding axios to Vuex instead.
The only change made was in store/moduleName.js which now looks like:
import Axios from 'axios'
export const state = () => ({
images: []
});
export const mutations = {
storeImages(state, data) {
state.images.push(...data);
}
}
export const actions = {
async getImages(store) {
let res = await Axios.get('api/url');
store.commit('storeImages', res.data.collection.items.slice(0, 24));
}
}
