Accessing Vuex store in router.ts file












0















i am trying to access vuex store value in router.ts but unable. I have googled it alot but found no stuff. In App.Vue i can access store values using this.$store but not working in .ts files.



--router.ts



import Vue from 'vue';
import Router from 'vue-router';
import StudentList from './views/admin/StudentList.vue';
import Questions from './views/admin/TemplateQuestions.vue';
import WelcomePage from './views/student/WelcomePage.vue';
import store from './store/store';

Vue.use(Router);


const router = new Router({
// mode: 'history',
routes: [
{
path: '/',
name: 'Questons',
component: Questions,
meta: { index: 0, IsAdmin: true},
},
{
path: '/Students',
name: 'StudentList',
component: StudentList,
meta: { index: 1, IsAdmin: true},
},
{
path: '/StudentIntro',
name: 'WelcomePage',
component: WelcomePage,
meta: { index: 1, IsAdmin: false, IsStudent: store.getters.IsStudent },

},
],
});

router.beforeEach((to: any, from: any, next: any) => {
debugger;
let IsStudent = store.getters.IsStudent; // store is always undefined here
if (!!IsStudent) {
debugger;
}
if (to.meta.IsAdmin === true && IsStudent === true) {
next({ name: 'WelcomePage' });
} else {
next();
}
});

export default router;


--main.ts



import Vue from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import router from './router';
import store from './store/store';
import './registerServiceWorker';
import VueResource from 'vue-resource';
import Notifications from 'vue-notification';


// Custom Imports Start
import * as jQuery from 'jquery';
const $ = jQuery;
import './assets/css/style.css';
import './assets/js/go-to-up';
import 'bootstrap';
// Custom Imports End


Vue.use(VueResource);
Vue.config.productionTip = false;
Vue.use(Notifications);

export default new Vue({
router,
store,
render: (h) => h(App),
}).$mount('#app');


--store.ts



import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';


Vue.use(Vuex);

export default new Vuex.Store({
state: {
Languages: ,
IsStudent: false,
},
mutations: {
setLanguages: (state, values) => {
values.forEach((x: any) => {
return x.IsSelected = false;
});
values[0].IsSelected = true;
state.Languages = values;
},
changeLanguages: (state, LCID) => {
state.Languages.forEach((x: any) => {
if (x.LCID === LCID) {
return x.IsSelected = true;
} else {
return x.IsSelected = false;
}
});
},
setIsStudent: (state, value) => {
state.IsStudent = value;
},
},
actions: {
setLanguages: (context, values) => {
context.commit('setLanguages', values);
},
changeLanguages: (context, value) => {
context.commit('changeLanguages', value);
},
setIsStudent: (context, value) => {
context.commit('setIsStudent', value);
},
},
getters: {
selectedLanguage(state) {
const lst = (state.Languages as any).filter(
(l: any) => l.IsSelected === true,
);
if (lst.count > 0) {
return lst[0].LCID;
} else {
return -1;
}
},
IsStudent(state) {
return state.IsStudent;
},
},
});


Thanks in advance for help :) before any route call i want to get role from server and on base of that role i want to apply authentication

  • Have you figured it out yet? I can access vuex store correctly inside my router.ts.

  • I am busy looking into more details. One thing though for some reason store would appear undefined if you look at it through devtools. Could you try it like this : const test = store; debugger; . THen check the value of test in your devtools

My store is an example of mine working. Hope this helps. Although my store look a bit different since I use modules. In this example below I store is defined at router.beforeEach.



src/store/index.ts



import Vue from "vue";
import Vuex from "vuex";
import { user } from "@/store/user";
import { shops } from "@/store/shops";
import { accounts } from "@/store/accounts";

Vue.use(Vuex);

export const store = new Vuex.Store({
modules: {
user,
shops,
accounts
}
});


src/main.ts



import "@babel/polyfill";
import Vue from "vue";
import "./plugins/vuetify";
import App from "./App.vue";
import router from "@/router";
import { store } from "@/store";
import "@/registerServiceWorker";
import VeeValidate from "vee-validate";

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

Vue.use(VeeValidate);

new Vue({
router,
store,
render: h => h(App)
}).$mount("#app");


src/router.ts



import Vue from "vue";
import Router, { Route } from "vue-router";
import { store } from "./store";

Vue.use(Router);

const router = new Router({
mode: "history",
routes: [
{
path: "/",
name: "about",
component: About
}
]
})

router.beforeEach((to: any, from: any, next: any) => {
const test = store;
debugger;
});

export default router;

        My store is an example of mine working. Hope this helps. Although my store look a bit different since I use modules. In this example below I store is defined at router.beforeEach.



        src/store/index.ts



        import Vue from "vue";
        import Vuex from "vuex";
        import { user } from "@/store/user";
        import { shops } from "@/store/shops";
        import { accounts } from "@/store/accounts";

        Vue.use(Vuex);

        export const store = new Vuex.Store({
        modules: {
        user,
        shops,
        accounts
        }
        });


        src/main.ts



        import "@babel/polyfill";
        import Vue from "vue";
        import "./plugins/vuetify";
        import App from "./App.vue";
        import router from "@/router";
        import { store } from "@/store";
        import "@/registerServiceWorker";
        import VeeValidate from "vee-validate";

        Vue.config.productionTip = false;

        Vue.use(VeeValidate);

        new Vue({
        router,
        store,
        render: h => h(App)
        }).$mount("#app");


        src/router.ts



        import Vue from "vue";
        import Router, { Route } from "vue-router";
        import { store } from "./store";

        Vue.use(Router);

        const router = new Router({
        mode: "history",
        routes: [
        {
        path: "/",
        name: "about",
        component: About
        }
        ]
        })

        router.beforeEach((to: any, from: any, next: any) => {
        const test = store;
        debugger;
        });

        export default router;
