How to access Vuex from Axios boot files

ioncoder

I store my JWT tokens in vuex module (user) and I have a axios request interceptor that I use to populate the Brarer token in the request head.

In vanilla Vue, I would simply import the store and then access my module state

import store from '../store/index'
var token = store.state.user.token

When I try to do this from axios.js in Quasar it does not work. Can anybody help.

A point to note, mapState in Vue files works just fine, so I’m 99.9% sure vuex is configured correctly.

If you work inside the default function of the boot file, the store is injected and you can use it. It should be your instantiated store.

@s-molinari Thanks Scott. I have already tried that approach. I can see the modules when I inject store, but I can not access any of the variables within State or any of the methods in actions or mutations. For example in the user module I have

state: {
   user: { firstname: 'John', lastname: 'Smith', email: 'jsmith@example.com' },
  token: { token: 'xxxxx', refresh_token: 'xxxxxxxx' }
}

Through injected state in axios.js I can’t get below the base variables

user: { obj:..., proto: ....},
token: {obj: ...., proto: ....)

For now, I have worked around it by writing my token to LocalStorage, which I can access from axios.js, but I want to get this fixed, so everything is accessed through the store.

@ioncoder use something like vuex-persistedstate.

@metalsadman Thank you. You know I always use that when using vanilla Vue, I don’t know why I didn’t already try that. I think it might be because Quasar does so much for you (which is great), but you start to stop thinking for yourself sometimes.

I will give it a try

Is that the issue? Getting a token stored and persisted to bridge browser sessions?

@s-molinari @metalsadman Thank you, Yep, That solved it. I was coding from 7am till 1am yesterday so I will give myself a break (this time), still feel like a bit of an idiot though.

Thanks for your help.
