Type Aliases ​

PiniaStorePlugin ​

Ƭ PiniaStorePlugin: PiniaPlugin

Plugin to extend every store.

Deprecated

use PiniaPlugin instead

StateTree ​

Ƭ StateTree: Record<string | number | symbol, any>

Generic state of a Store

Store ​

Ƭ Store<Id, S, G, A>: _StoreWithState<Id, S, G, A> & UnwrapRef<S> & _StoreWithGetters<G> & _ActionsTree extends A ? {} : A & PiniaCustomProperties<Id, S, G, A> & PiniaCustomStateProperties<S>

Store type to build a store.

Type parameters ​

StoreActions ​

Ƭ StoreActions<SS>: SS extends Store<string, StateTree, _GettersTree<StateTree>, infer A> ? A : _ExtractActionsFromSetupStore<SS>

Extract the actions of a store type. Works with both a Setup Store or an Options Store.

Type parameters ​

StoreGeneric ​

Ƭ StoreGeneric: Store<string, StateTree, _GettersTree<StateTree>, _ActionsTree>

Generic and type-unsafe version of Store. Doesn't fail on access with strings, making it much easier to write generic functions that do not care about the kind of store that is passed.

  pinia,
})

import Vue from 'vue'
import { PiniaVuePlugin, createPinia } from 'pinia'

Vue.use(PiniaVuePlugin)

  },

  created() {
    this.moar()
    this.setIt(2)
  }
}

export default {
  methods: {
    // other methods properties
    // useCounterStore has two actions named `increment` and `setCount`
    ...mapActions(useCounterStore, { moar: 'increment', setIt: 'setCount' })

▸ mapActions<Id, S, G, A>(useStore, keys): _MapActionsReturn<A>

Allows directly using actions from your store without using the composition API (setup()) by generating an object to be spread in the methods field of a component.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

_MapActionsReturn<A>

Example

export default {
  methods: {
    // other methods properties
    ...mapActions(useCounterStore, ['increment', 'setCount'])
  },

  created() {
    this.increment()
    this.setCount(2) // pass arguments as usual
  }
}

export default {
  methods: {
    // other methods properties
    ...mapActions(useCounterStore, ['increment', 'setCount'])
  },

  created() {
    this.increment()
    this.setCount(2) // pass arguments as usual
  }
}

mapGetters ​

▸ mapGetters<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>(useStore, keyMapper): _MapStateObjectReturn<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>

Alias for mapState(). You should use mapState() instead.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

_MapStateObjectReturn<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>

Deprecated

use mapState() instead.

▸ mapGetters<Id, S, G, A, Keys>(useStore, keys): _MapStateReturn<S, G, Keys>

Alias for mapState(). You should use mapState() instead.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

_MapStateReturn<S, G, Keys>

Deprecated

use mapState() instead.

mapState ​

▸ mapState<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>(useStore, keyMapper): _MapStateObjectReturn<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>

Allows using state and getters from one store without using the composition API (setup()) by generating an object to be spread in the computed field of a component. The values of the object are the state properties/getters while the keys are the names of the resulting computed properties. Optionally, you can also pass a custom function that will receive the store as its first argument. Note that while it has access to the component instance via this, it won't be typed.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

_MapStateObjectReturn<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>

Example

export default {
  computed: {
    // other computed properties
    // useCounterStore has a state property named `count` and a getter `double`
    ...mapState(useCounterStore, {
      n: 'count',
      triple: store => store.n * 3,
      // note we can't use an arrow function if we want to use `this`
      custom(store) {
        return this.someComponentValue + store.n
      },
      doubleN: 'double'
    })
  },

  created() {
    this.n // 2
    this.doubleN // 4
  }
}

export default {
  computed: {
    // other computed properties
    // useCounterStore has a state property named `count` and a getter `double`
    ...mapState(useCounterStore, {
      n: 'count',
      triple: store => store.n * 3,
      // note we can't use an arrow function if we want to use `this`
      custom(store) {
        return this.someComponentValue + store.n
      },
      doubleN: 'double'
    })
  },

  created() {

    this.doubleN // 4
  }
}

▸ mapState<Id, S, G, A, Keys>(useStore, keys): _MapStateReturn<S, G, Keys>

Example

export default {
  computed: {
    // other computed properties
    ...mapStores(useUserStore, useCartStore)

  }
}

mapWritableState ​

▸ mapWritableState<Id, S, G, A, KeyMapper>(useStore, keyMapper): _MapWritableStateObjectReturn<S, KeyMapper>

Same as mapState() but creates computed setters as well so the state can be modified. Differently from mapState(), only state properties can be added.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

_MapWritableStateObjectReturn<S, KeyMapper>

▸ mapWritableState<Id, S, G, A, Keys>(useStore, keys): { [K in Keys]: Object }

Allows using state and getters from one store without using the composition API (setup()) by generating an object to be spread in the computed field of a component.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

{ [K in Keys]: Object }

setActivePinia ​

▸ setActivePinia(pinia): Pinia

Sets or unsets the active pinia. Used in SSR and internally when calling actions and getters

Parameters ​

Returns ​

Pinia

▸ setActivePinia(pinia): undefined

Sets or unsets the active pinia. Used in SSR and internally when calling actions and getters

Parameters ​

Returns ​

undefined

▸ setActivePinia(pinia): undefined | Pinia

Sets or unsets the active pinia. Used in SSR and internally when calling actions and getters

Parameters ​

Returns ​

undefined | Pinia

setMapStoreSuffix ​

▸ setMapStoreSuffix(suffix): void

Changes the suffix added by mapStores(). Can be set to an empty string. Defaults to "Store". Make sure to extend the MapStoresCustomization interface if you are using TypeScript.

Parameters ​

Returns ​

void

skipHydrate ​

▸ skipHydrate<T>(obj): T

Tells Pinia to skip the hydration process of a given object. This is useful in setup stores (only) when you return a stateful object in the store but it isn't really state. e.g. returning a router instance in a setup store.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

T

obj

storeToRefs ​

▸ storeToRefs<SS>(store): StoreToRefs<SS>

Creates an object of references with all the state, getters, and plugin-added state properties of the store. Similar to toRefs() but specifically designed for Pinia stores so methods and non reactive properties are completely ignored.

Type parameters ​

Parameters ​

Returns ​

StoreToRefs<SS>
