Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

vuex-rest-api

npm npm

A Helper utility to simplify the usage of REST APIs with Vuex 2. Uses the popular HTTP client axios for requests. Works with websanova/vue-auth.

What is this good for

If you want to connect a REST API with Vuex you'll find that there are a few repetitive steps. You need to request the data from the api (with an action) and set the state (via a mutation). This utility (for the sake of brevity called Vapi in the README) helps in creating the store by setting up the state, mutations and actions with a easy to follow pattern.

It is not a middleware.

It's just a helper utility to help prepraring the store object for you. If there's something you don't like just overwrite the property.

Installation

npm install vuex-rest-api

Some notes: This readme assumes that you're using at least ES2015.

Steps

  1. Import vuex-rest-api (I called it Vapi).
  2. Create a Vapi instance.
    At least you have to set the base URL of the API you're requesting from. You can also define the default state. If you don't define a default state from a property it will default to null. In the example
  3. Create the actions.
    Each action represents a Vuex action. If it will be called (property action), it requests a specific API endpoint (property path) and sets the related property named property to the response's payload.
  4. Create the store object
  5. Pass it to Vuex. Continue reading here to know how to call the actions.
// store.js

import Vuex from "vuex"
import Vue from "vue"
// Step 1
import Vapi from "vuex-rest-api"

Vue.use(Vuex)

// Step 2
const posts = new Vapi({
  baseURL: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
    state: {
      posts: []
    }
  })
  // Step 3
  .get({
    action: "getPost",
    property: "post",
    path: ({ id }) => `/posts/${id}`
  })
  .get({
    action: "listPosts",
    property: "posts",
    path: "/posts"
  })
  .post({
    action: "updatePost",
    property: "post",
    path: ({ id }) => `/posts/${id}`
  })
  // Step 4
  .getStore()

// Step 5
export const store = new Vuex.Store(posts)
