Electron Vuex

A fork of vuex-electron. We replaced the JSON store with a memory store which allows high rate of mutations without creating temp files

The easiest way to share your Vuex Store between all processes (including main).

Features

⭐ Persisted state
⭐ Shared mutations

Requirements

Installation

Installation of the Vuex Electron easy as 1-2-3.

  1. Install package with using of yarn or npm:

    yarn install @kasvith/electron-vuex

    or

    npm install @kasvith/electron-vuex
  2. Include plugins in your Vuex store::

    import Vue from "vue"
    import Vuex from "vuex"
    
    import { createPersistedState, createSharedMutations } from "@kasvith/electron-vuex"
    
    Vue.use(Vuex)
    
    export default new Vuex.Store({
      // ...
      plugins: [
        createPersistedState(),
        createSharedMutations()
      ],
      // ...
    })
  3. In case if you enabled createSharedMutations() plugin you need to create an instance of store in the main process. To do it just add this line into your main process (for example src/main.js):

    import './path/to/your/store'
  4. Well done you did it! The last step is to add the star to this repo 😄

Usage example: Vuex Electron Example

IMPORTANT

In renderer process to call actions you need to use dispatch or mapActions. Don't use commit because actions fired via commit will not be shared between processes.
