Specific support
Store
The "Vuex.Store()" calls are searched for throughout the application, and the first parameter is used to resolve different links.
const store = new Vuex.Store({ state: { pageTitle: 'Home', menu: menu, user: {}, token: null, message: { type: null, body: null }, config: config }, mutations: { setAuth (state, { user, token }) { state.user = user state.token = token global.helper.ls.set('user', user) global.helper.ls.set('token', token) }, setMenu (state, data) { state.menu = data }, setPageTitle (state, data) { state.pageTitle = data }, showMessage (state, type, body) { state.message = { type, body } } }, actions: { checkAuth ({ commit }) { let data = { user: global.helper.ls.get('user'), token: global.helper.ls.get('token') } commit('setAuth', data) }, checkPageTitle ({commit, state}, path) { for (let k in state.menu) { if (state.menu[k].href === path) { commit('setPageTitle', state.menu[k].title) break } } } } }) export default store
the "sync()" calls are also used:
import store from './store' import router from './router' sync(store, router)
Dispatch
This extension supports "Vuex store dispatch" methods which are used to call shared functions. Here is an example of a classic architecture using this method:
export const FETCH_DATA = "fetchData";
import { FETCH_DATA } from "./actions.type"; import Vue from "vue"; import axios from "axios"; import VueAxios from "vue-axios"; Vue.use(VueAxios, axios); const actions = { [FETCH_DATA]() { return return Vue.axios.get('uri/to/data') }, }; export default { actions };
import Vue from "vue"; import Vuex from "vuex"; import data from "./data.module"; Vue.use(Vuex); export default new Vuex.Store({ modules: { data } });
<template> <div></div> </template> <script> import { FETCH_DATA } from "@/store/actions.type"; export default { name: "StoreExample", mounted: function() { this.$store.dispatch(FETCH_DATA) } }; </script>
This code gives the following results:
Webservices
Axios
The Vue.js extension supports webservices using Axios:
async onLogout() { await this.$axios.$post('/api/oauth/logout'); this.setLogout(true); this.setCurrentUser(null); try { await this.$axios.$get('/api/oauth/me') } catch (e) { // middleware redirects to login page } }
Giving the following result:
Vue-resources
The Vue.js extension supports webservices using vue-resources.
async onLogout() { await this.$http.post('/api/oauth/logout'); this.setLogout(true); this.setCurrentUser(null); try { await this.$http.$get('/api/oauth/me') } catch (e) { // middleware redirects to login page } }
Giving the following result:
Fetch
The Vue.js extension supports webservices using fetch:
async onLogout() { await fetch('/api/oauth/logout'); this.setLogout(true); this.setCurrentUser(null); try { await fetch('/api/oauth/me') } catch (e) { // middleware redirects to login page } }
Giving the following result:
