Overview

Pathify makes working with Vuex easy, with a declarative, state-based, path syntax:

Paths can reference any module, property or sub-property:

Pathify's aim is to simplify the overall Vuex development experience by abstracting away Vuex's complex setup and reliance on manually-written code. The path syntax does the heavy-lifting, with a small set of helper functions used to directly access or wire up components to the store.

Examples

Get or set data without syntax juggling or worrying about implementation:

store.get('loaded')
store.set('loaded', true)

Reach into sub-properties and arrays:

store.get('products@items.0.name')
store.set('products@items.1.name', 'Vuex Pathify')

Set up one or two-way data binding on any store value without bloat or fuss:

computed: {
  products: get('products'),
  category: sync('filters@category')
}

Wire multiple properties (or sub-properties) using array, object and wildcard formats:

computed: {
  ...sync('filters@sort', [
    'order', 
    'key'
  ]),
...sync('filters@sort', {     sortOrder: 'order',     sortKey: 'key'   }),
...sync('filters@sort.*') }

Use variable expansion to dynamically reference store properties:

computed: {
  product: get('products@items:index')
}

Set up mutations – including sub-property mutations – in a single line:

make.mutations(state)

Results

In practical terms, Pathify results in:

• less cognitive overhead
• zero store boilerplate
• one-liner wiring
• cleaner code
• lighter files
