Feeling overwhelmed, I successfully integrated a working API with my VueJS app but hit a roadblock when implementing Vuex. Here's the snippet from my store.js file:
import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';
import axios from 'axios'
Vue.use(Vuex);
const state = {
message: "I am groot",
articles: []
}
const getters = {
getArticles: (state) => {
return state.articles;
}
}
const actions = {
getArticles: ({ commit }, data) => {
axios.get('/articles').then( (articles) => {
commit('GET_ARTICLES', articles);
console.log(articles); // Debugging
}, (err) => {
console.log(err);
})
}
}
const mutations = {
GET_ARTICLES: (state, {list}) => {
state.articles = list;
}
}
const store = new Vuex.Store({
state,
getters,
mutations,
actions,
mutations
});
console.log(store.state.articles); // Data is empty here
export default store
The console.log inside the axios call isn't executing and the store.state.articles remains empty. It seems like something critical is missing in my setup. All I want is to display the articles data when the page loads...
Please lend me a hand, this issue is driving me crazy :)
Component :
<template>
<div class="container">
<h1>Test component yo !</h1>
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'Test',
computed: {
message() {
return this.$store.state.message
}
},
mounted: () => {
this.$store.dispatch('getArticles')
}
}
</script>
App.js :
import Vue from 'vue';
import ArticlesViewer from './articles_viewer.vue';
import UserArticles from './user_articles.vue';
import App from './app.vue'
import store from './store'
new Vue({
el: '#app-container',
store,
render: h => h(App)
})
