Accessing vuex data by a known id

Question

I have created a vuex store and stored several rows of data that i fetched from a remote source. The data is actually rows from a mysql table.

The data is in this format

[{
    "id": "1",
    "property_country": "usa",
    "property_name": "i and m towers",
    "property_stars": "4",
    "property_city": "austin",
    "property_region": "texas",
    "property_type": "serviced partment",
    "date_created": "3563763673",
    "date_updated": "33377363",
    "the_user_id": "1"
}, {
    "id": "2",
    "property_country": "uk",
    "property_name": "eagle towers",
    "property_stars": "5",
    "property_city": "kampala",
    "property_region": "kampala",
    "property_type": "motel",
    "date_created": "3563763673",
    "date_updated": "33377363",
    "the_user_id": "1"
},

I want to be able to access vuex data by id, remove by id, update by id

So far i can access console.log(this.$store.state.properties[1].property_country);

like that. I know the id from looping the data and so, i want to be able to use the known id to perform some mutations. What is the way to view how the data in vuex is stored and how can i access any data stored in vuex if i know the id of the row?

Answer 1

Get by Id:

this.$store.state.properties.find(property => property.id == 1).property_country

// OR

getById(id) {
  this.$store.state.properties.find(property => property.id == id)
}
getById(1).property_country // "usa"

Remove by id

removeById(id) {
  this.$store.state.properties.splice(this.$store.state.properties.findIndex(p=>p.id == id), 1)
}

Update by Id:

updateById(id, newObject) {
  this.$store.state.properties[this.$store.state.properties.findIndex(p=>p.id == id)] = JSON.parse(JSON.stringyfy(newObject))
}
// here you have to make some logic to make sure the id still makes sense.

Update a single property

this.$store.state.properties[this.$store.state.properties.findIndex(p=>p.id == 1)].property_country = "NEW_VALUE"

The Vuex way

// You can always get data from store using this.$store.state
// But to update, change or remove, you need mutations
mutations: {
  removeById(state, id) {
    state.properties.splice(state.properties.findIndex(p=>p.id == id), 1)
  },
  updateById(state, payload) { // payload = {id: 1, newObject = {..]}
    state.properties[state.properties.findIndex(p=>p.id == payload.id)] = JSON.parse(JSON.stringyfy(payload.newObject))
  }
}

// Use like this
this.$store.commit('removeById', 1)
this.$store.commit('updateById', {id: 1, newObject: {...}})
