I have a vuex in module mode that fetching the data of a user:



store/modules/users.js



import axios from "axios";

export const state = () => ({
user: {}
});

// Sets the values of data in states
export const mutations = {
SET_USER(state, user) {
state.user = user;
}
};

export const actions = {
fetchUser({ commit }, id) {
console.log(`Fetching User with ID: ${id}`);
return axios.get(`${process.env.BASE_URL}/users/${id}`)
.then(response => {
commit("SET_USER", response.data.data.result);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
}
};

// retrieves the data from the state
export const getters = {
getUser(state) {
return state.user;
}
};


then on my template pages/users/_id/index.vue



<b-form-input v-model="name" type="text"></b-form-input>

export default {
data() {
return {
name: ""
}
},
created() {
// fetch user from API
this.$store.dispatch("fetchUser", this.$route.params.id);
}
}


Now I check the getters I have object getUser and I can see the attribute. How can I assign the name value from vuex getters to the input field?

          watcher is probably what you need



          export default {
          // ...
          watch: {
          '$store.getters.getUser'(user) {
          this.name = user.name;
          },
          },
          }

          While Jacob's answer isn't necessarily incorrect, it's better practice to use a computed property instead. You can read about that here



            computed: {
          user(){
          return this.$store.getters.getUser
          }
          }


          Then access name via {{user.name}} or create a name computed property



            computed: {
          name(){
          return this.$store.getters.getUser.name
          }
          }


          Edit: fiddle as example https://jsfiddle.net/uy47cdnw/



          Edit2: Please not that if you want to mutate object via that input field, you should use the link Jacob provided.

            in some cases, you would be very right. I just don't think this is the case here. v-model="name" combine with a computed property without setter is going to be problematic. (god... i feel offended by the unreasonable downvote )

            Jan 3 at 9:59













          • Initially my approach is using computed property but I need to mutate the object using input field, then I have 10 fields in my form so I find computed property really tedious. There's also an instance I used computed property to set the state and when I refreshed the page the value suddenly gone.

            in some cases, you would be very right. I just don't think this is the case here. v-model="name" combine with a computed property without setter is going to be problematic. (god... i feel offended by the unreasonable downvote )

          • Initially my approach is using computed property but I need to mutate the object using input field, then I have 10 fields in my form so I find computed property really tedious. There's also an instance I used computed property to set the state and when I refreshed the page the value suddenly gone.

          While Jacob's answer isn't necessarily incorrect, it's better practice to use a computed property instead. You can read about that here



            computed: {
          user(){
          return this.$store.getters.getUser
          }
          }


          Then access name via {{user.name}} or create a name computed property



            computed: {
          name(){
          return this.$store.getters.getUser.name
          }
          }
