I have a button that is used to log in the user via onSubmit function when a form is filled in. However, I need to call yet another method that will get some additional data about the user, such as privileges. However I cannot make it to work. I've tried to put the code from desired method directly in the onSubmit() function, but it did not work. Here is my code:
This is the form where the button is located.
<form @submit.prevent="onSubmit">
Some code
<button class="btn btn-success" type="submit">Log in</button>
</form>
This is my script.
<script lang="ts">
import {defineComponent, reactive} from 'vue'
import userStore from '../store/user'
import { useStore } from "vuex";
export default defineComponent({
setup() {
const form = reactive({
username: "",
password: "",
});
//Calls the login function in user.ts
const onSubmit = () => {
userStore.login(form.username, form.password);
form.username = "";
form.password = "";
};
//Returns the store in the main so that the form can have a template that displays the error message.
return {form, userStore, onSubmit}
},
methods:{
//This did not work. useStore could not be accessed from "methods" but could be accessed from setup/mounted.
//The thing is, it must be updated only after clickig on the submit button.
setUserState(){
const store = useStore();
store.dispatch("setActiveUser");
},
}
})
</script>
I now found the solution to my problem. I moved setUserState() as a function under setup() and deleted the methods. Setup is setting up the store now and returns setUserState. Following code works:
<script lang="ts">
import {defineComponent, reactive} from 'vue'
import userStore from '../store/user'
import { useStore } from "vuex";
export default defineComponent({
setup() {
const store = useStore();
const form = reactive({
username: "",
password: "",
});
//Calls the login function in user.ts
function onSubmit() {
userStore.login(form.username, form.password);
form.username = "";
form.password = "";
setUserState()
}
function setUserState(){
store.dispatch("setActiveUser");
}
//Returns the store in the main so that the form can have a template that displays the error message.
return {form, userStore, onSubmit, setUserState}
},
})
</script>
