vux-press is a library of reusable general purpose functions for the vuex store.

1. set: a general purpose mutation function

A general purpose mutation function designed to handle the majority of changes you will need to make in the vuex store. The function has 3 primary features:

• Observable - Changes to arrays and new properies are always observable.
• Querying - Queries can be used in place of an index to find an object in an array.
• Operators - Operators make changes based on the current value.

// store/*.js
import { set } from 'vuex-press'

export const mutations = {
  set
}

{ <path|query> : <value|operator> }

• path - A dot-bracket notated string leading to the property to be changed. (e.g. 'path.t[0].the.property')
• query - A stringified json object with key-value pairs of an object in an array
• value - The new value of the property
• operator - An object with a key-value pair that represents an operation to be performed on the value

{ <operator-type> : <operator-value> }

• $inc - increases the current value by the operator value
• $dec - decreases the current value by the operator value

Set a new value

// Change a the user's friendly name
this.$store.commit('user/set', {'friendly_name': 'New Name'})

Push item to an array

// Add a post to to an array of posts
this.$store.commit('posts/set', { items[]: {<post data>}})

Find an item using a query and change a property

// Change the title of a post
let query = JSON.stringify({id: 1})
this.$store.commit('posts/set', { [`items.[${query}].title`]: 'New Title' })

Increment a value using an operator

// Increment like count on a post by 1
let query = JSON.stringify({id: 1})
this.$store.commit('posts/set', { [`items.[${query}].like_count`]: { $inc: 1}})

Decrement a value using an operator

// Decrease follower count by 1
this.$store.commit('user/set', { followers: { $dec: 1 }})
