Building a fruit counter app with Vuex
The app that we will build is just a simple fruit counter app. The goal is to help the user make sure to eat five pieces of fruit daily, and we will set up a simple app that will start with five pieces of fruit to eat and, each time we click the button, it will decrement the number by 1
. That way, we can keep track of our healthy eating goals.
We will begin our app by setting the initial state, with only one key-value pair in it:Â
const store = new Vuex.Store({ state: { count: 5 },
Next, we will set up getters
. As we learned already, getters
only return state:
getters: { counter(state) { return state.count; } },
Next, we will add two mutations: the first mutation, decrementCounter
, will operate on the counter by decrementing it by the value stored in the payload argument. We will decrement the value of state.count until it reaches 0
. To make sure the value of state.count
cannot be less then 0
, we'll check it with the ternary statement...
