Vue.js：无论用户是否登录，导航栏上的显示/隐藏按钮均基于Vuex商店状态

Question

I'm creating a navbar that shows or hides buttons depending if the user is logged in or not. For that, I'm saving the state on Vuex and localStorage.

I'm trying to build a dynamic menu, using a list of objects (ie rightMenu ) that contains the information of the buttons (ie route, title and a flag that indicates if the button may show or not if the user is logged in).

Always that the user logs in the system, the this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn changes to true , however the template does not change, the button stays in the same initial state when the user was not logged in. For example: the sign out button does not show when this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn updates. But when I click 'ctrl+F5' and the page reloads, the buttons show correctly. In this case, for example, the sign out button appears correctly when I reload the page manually.

I'm thinking in to force the page to reload again when the user logs in or logs out, however I believe that it is not a good option.

Could anyone help me?

I'm giving the code that I'm using below.

Thank you in advance.

Menu.vue > template

<div>
    <v-toolbar color='grey darken-3' dark>
        <v-toolbar-title>Site</v-toolbar-title>

        ...

        <v-toolbar-items class='hidden-sm-and-down'>
            <v-btn v-for='item in rightMenu' :key='item.title'
                   :to='item.to' v-if='item.showButton' flat>
                   {{ item.title }}
            </v-btn>
        </v-toolbar-items>

    </v-toolbar>

    <router-view/>
</div>

Menu.vue > script

export default {
  data () {
    return {
      rightMenu: [
        { to: '/sign_in', title: 'sign in'
          showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { to: '/sign_up', title: 'sign up'
          showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { to: '/sign_out', title: 'sign out'
          showButton: this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn }
      ]
    }
  },
  ...
}

store.js

const store = new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    auth: {
      token: '',
      isUserLoggedIn: false
    }
  },
  mutations: {
    setAuthToken (state, token) {  // I use it on the Login
      state.auth.token = token
      state.auth.isUserLoggedIn = !!token
      localStorage.setItem('store', JSON.stringify(state))
    },
    cleanAuth (state) {  // I use it on the Logout
      state.auth = {
        token: '',
        isUserLoggedIn: false
      }
      localStorage.setItem('store', JSON.stringify(state))
    }
  }
  ...
})

EDIT 1:

When I use this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn explicitly on my code, it works well. So, the button appears and disappears correctly. I give below an example:

Menu.vue > template

<v-toolbar-items class='hidden-sm-and-down'>
    <v-btn v-if='this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn' flat> 
      Test {{ this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn }}
    </v-btn>
</v-toolbar-items>

Hence, I believe that the problem is in the binding of showButton with this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn .

Answer 1

Use computed property to make it reactive :

 <template> ... <v-btn v-for='item in rightMenu' :key='item.title' :to='item.to' v-if='isUserLoggedIn(item.title)' flat> {{ item.title }} </v-btn> ... </template> <script> ... computed: { isUserLoggedIn() { return (title) => { // you'll not have any caching benefits if (title === 'sign out') { return this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn; } return !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn; } } } ... </script> 

Answer 2

Through the answers of Chris Li, Andrei Gheorghiu and Sajib Khan I could solve my problem.

Andrei Gheorghiu have explained that I can't access computed properties in data() and Chris Li suggested that I use a computed variable instead. These answers plus Sajib Khan example I was able to think in a solution that I share below. I hope that it help others in the future.

In a nutshell, I've created a computed property that returns my array and always when this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn updates, the array changes together (consequently the menu as well).

I intent to create a mapGetter to my this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn . As soon as I do it, I update the answer.

Thank you guys so much.

<script>
export default {
  data () {
    return { ... }
  },
  computed: {
    rightMenu () {
      return [
        { title: 'sign_in', to: '/sign_in', 
            showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { title: 'sign_up', to: '/sign_up', 
            showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { title: 'sign_out', to: '/sign_out',
            showButton: this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn }
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

EDIT 1: Solution using mapGetters

Menu.vue

<script>
import { mapGetters } from 'vuex'

export default {
  data () {
    return { ... }
  },
  computed: {
    ...mapGetters([
      'isUserLoggedIn'
    ]),
    rightMenu () {
      return [
        { title: 'sign_in', to: '/sign_in', 
            showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { title: 'sign_up', to: '/sign_up', 
            showButton: !this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn },
        { title: 'sign_out', to: '/sign_out',
            showButton: this.$store.state.auth.isUserLoggedIn }
      ]
    }
  }
}
</script>

store.js

I've added the following getter:

...
getters: {
  isUserLoggedIn (state) {
    return state.auth.isUserLoggedIn
  }
}
...
