What is Vuex?

Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, allowing developers to manage application state in a more efficient and organized way.

How to use Vuex in Vuejs and Laravel App

To use Vuex in a Vue.js and Laravel application, follow these steps:

  1. Install Vuex by running the following command in your Vue.js project: npm install vuex
  2. Create a new Vuex store by creating a new file, for example, store.js, and importing Vuex:
    
import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';

Vue.use(Vuex);

export default new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    // Define your application state here
  },
  mutations: {
    // Define mutations to update the state
  },
  actions: {
    // Define actions to update the state
  }
});
    
  
  1. Inject the Vuex store into your Vue.js application by adding the following code to your main Vue instance:
    
import store from './store';

new Vue({
  // Other configurations
  store,
  // Other configurations
}).$mount('#app');
    
  
  1. Now, you can use Vuex in your components by accessing the store state, mutations, and actions:
    
// Access state
this.$store.state.myState;

// Commit a mutation
this.$store.commit('myMutation', payload);

// Dispatch an action
this.$store.dispatch('myAction', payload);
