Vuex-State management library for Vue(Vue2 and Vue3)

Vuex is a state management library for Vue. As your application continues to grow it becomes tough to handle many things.This is for someone who already knows Vue.If not please have a look at some of my previous blogs VueJSforBeginners
Note this same thing works with both Vue2 n Vue3 APi since Vue2 APi perfectly works in Vue3 but there is just a slight change which I will mention after all these
Vuex3 with Vue2
Install Vuex
After you have installed the project run
npm install vuex
index.js
We need to make a new store and here and we need to write store:store
Imagedescription
here need to write about the store here
Imagedescription
If we look at the console we see so many things of the store
Imagedescription
Mutations
You can't mutate a state directly you need mutations, For mutating you to access the mutations
Imagedescription
If we look at the Vue dev tools in the console
Imagedescription
Here we see 3 of the mutations increment
2. Transfer to store.js
Here we are transferring everything to store.js so that everything is in a seperate file which is much more readable
Imagedescription
As the mark is given we must default export store at the botton
In App.vue
Here we need to import
import store from './store'
Imagedescription
No need to import store now if we use $this.store
Imagedescription
Display Todos
Here we take an array of objects todos in store and we want to loop through it
IN store.js
Imagedescription
In App.vue
Imagedescription
template part in App.vue
Looping through array of objects
Imagedescription
mapState
Here we can use mapState to get access to all of the state. Its much easier
In store.js
Imagedescription

In App.vue
import {mapState} from 'vuex'
Imagedescription
We see now we can easily have access to todos and isLoggedIn vis mapState
getters
We can access any property of state through mapState on the other hand if we want to filter out todos based on done and not done for that we need to use getters
Imagedescription
App.vue
Imagedescription
template part
Imagedescription
in the browser
Imagedescription
getters inside getters
in store.js
Suppose we want to get length of allTodos so here we can find out length of allTodos
Imagedescription

In App.vue
Imagedescription
In browser
Imagedescription
mapGetters
Here we can just use mapGetters import mapGetters on the top.By this have all getters easily.
Imagedescription

Mutation and action
Suppose we want to set both methods to increase and decreaseCounter.Here we will have to set two methods one is increase and other is decrease
In store.js
Imagedescription
Here the mutations are commited in actions
In App.vue
Imagedescription
Here we see we dispatch the actions

template part
Imagedescription
mapActions
Just Like mapGetters we can use mapActions
we need to import mapActions at the top
Imagedescription

Vuex3 with Vue2

Here I am going to talk about how you will install Vuex4 wih Vue3.Remeber Vuex4 only works with Vue3 However Vuex3 works works with both.

Install Vuex4
npm install vuex@next
In package.json dependencies if you see now its vuex4.0.2
Imagedescription

main.js
Imagedescription
store/index.js
Imagedescription
Imagedescription
Remember to export store
My way of writing it might differ from other but main things is the code working. So I believe you can now work with Vuex
with latest Vue3 Api.
