I have a JobComponent.vue component where I fetch data from a VUEX Store. This component is used on two separate pages, first page Home.vue and second page AllJobs.vue. In AllJobs.vue I used JobComponent.vue and everything is works fine, it's rendering all the jobs, but, here comes the problem...
In Home.vue I want to render only the last 5 jobs, so in store I make a getter that slice me only the latest 5 jobs.
How can I use this latestJobs from getters on the same component?
When I import the component in Home.vue page I can't use another v-for direct on the component...
here you can see my project structure and files
Home.vue
<template>
<div class="cards-container">
<JobComponent />
</div>
</template>
JobComponent.vue
<template>
<div v-for="job in allJobs" :key="job.id" class="card">
<div class="position">{{ job.position }}</div>
<div class="department">{{ job.department }}</div>
<div class="location">
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">location_on</span>
{{ job.location }}
</div>
<span class="material-symbols-outlined right-arrow">arrow_right_alt</span>
<span @click="deleteJob(job.id)" class="material-symbols-outlined right-arrow">delete</span>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import { mapGetters, mapActions } from 'vuex';
export default {
methods: {
...mapActions(['fetchJobs', 'deleteJob']),
},
computed: mapGetters(['allJobs']),
created() {
this.fetchJobs();
}
}
</script>
store.js (vuex)
const getters = {
allJobs: (state) => state.jobs,
latestJobs: (state) => {
const response = state.jobs.slice(0, 5);
return response;
}
};
Your component should be as independent as possible from the store. It's role is to display what ever is provided so it could be reused as you want, using props :
<template>
<div class="card">
<div class="position">{{ position }}</div>
<div class="department">{{ department }}</div>
<div class="location">
<span class="material-symbols-outlined">location_on</span>
{{ location }}
</div>
<span class="material-symbols-outlined right-arrow">arrow_right_alt</span>
<span @click="$emit('deleteJob', id)" class="material-symbols-outlined right-arrow">delete</span>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: {
id: string,
position: string,
department: string,
location: string
}
}
</script>
In this component you only display the provided data, and leave the responsibility of the parent component to choose how many components to display.
<template>
<div class="cards-container">
<JobComponent v-for="job in jobs" :key="job.id" :id="job.id" :position="job.position" :department="job.department" :location="job.location" @delete-job="deleteJob" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
created() {
this.$store.dispatch('fetchJobs')
},
computed: {
jobs() {
return this.$store.getters['latestJobs'] // Or allJobs, just make sure your getter returns an array even if no jobs are loaded yet.
}
},
methods: {
deleteJob() {
// Your logic for job delete
}
}
}
</script>
