access store outside of component vuejs

Question

I have a file for configuring my OpenID Connect authentication

export const authMgr = new Oidc.UserManager({
  userStore: new Oidc.WebStorageStateStore(),
  authority: **appsetting.oidc**
})

I want to access my state in order to get the value of appsetting.

I did this:

import store from './store'

const appsetting = () => store.getters.appsetting

but my appsetting is always returning undefined

what I my missing?

Store:

app.js

const state = {
  appsetting: appsetting,
}

export {
  state 
}

getters.js

const appsetting = state => state.appsetting

export {
  appsetting
}

index.js

export default new Vuex.Store({
  actions,
  getters,
  modules: {
    app
  },
  strict: debug,
  plugins: [createLogger]
})

when I print the value of store.getters, it returns this:

{
  return __WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_2__store__["a" /* default */].getters;
}

No the actual store objects

Is appsetting getter is a part of any store module? – Therron

Yes, it is part of the module – Phylys

Can you post your store module? – Persist

How do you import in index.js? – Quadragesimal

Does this answer your question? accessing vuex store in js file – Disrepair

You probably have an index.js/main.js file in you /store folder. You want to import that: import store from './store/index' then it should work. – Disrepair

Answer 1

Try to import 'store' with curly brackets

import {store} from '../store/index'

store.getters.appSettings

Another option is to access from the vue property

import Vue from 'vue'

Vue.store.getters.appSettings

An example of how to access a nested module's getter (and also pass a parameter) is const hasTextAutomationEnabled = store.getters['account/hasFeature']('text-automation'); (You can normally use the dot notation, but since the module is referenced with a forward-slash "/", it's easier to get the property via the array syntax with square brackets. If there is no parameter for your getter, don't put the "(param)" at the end.) – Kwangchow

Anyone can explain why we need to use curly brackets? – Skiing

The curly brackets around store are used because it's not a default export. If it's a default export then you don't use the curly brackets. In this example OP used export { store } instead of export default store – Corkwood

The first one works great, but the Vue.store.getters.appSettings one doesn't seem to work for me, weird... – Trivium

both doesnt work on my case.. I have a modules in my store,,, but accessing them gives error,,, I tried both options above but doesnt work, im using typescript – Vladimar

Isn't this going to make it not reactive? How do you use store.getters outside of export default {} and at the same time make sure that it is reactive? – Blitzkrieg

Answer 2

As for 2023 accesing store with

import {store} from '../store/index'
store.getters.appSettings

wasnt working for me but after removing curly brackets like so:

import store from '../store/index'
store.getters.appSettings

It started working as intended

I think this works only because your store is the default export. Otherwise, the curly brackets are needed as stated by Jack Barry in the accepted answer. – Roughage
