API

createPersistedState([options])

Creates a new instance of the plugin with the given options. The following options can be provided to configure the plugin for your specific needs:

• key <String>: The key to store the persisted state under. (default: vuex)

• paths <Array>: An array of any paths to partially persist the state. If no paths are given, the complete state is persisted. (default: [])

• reducer <Function>: A function that will be called to reduce the state to persist based on the given paths. Defaults to include the values.

• subscriber <Function>: A function called to setup mutation subscription. Defaults to store => handler => store.subscribe(handler)

• storage <Storage>: Instead for (or in combination with) getState and setState. Defaults to localStorage (or internal storage for Server Side Rendering).

• getState <Function>: A function that will be called to rehydrate a previously persisted state. Defaults to using storage.

• setState <Function>: A function that will be called to persist the given state. Defaults to using storage.

Customization

If it's not ideal to have the state of the Vuex store inside localstorage. One can easily implement the functionality to use cookies for that (or any other you can think of);

import { Store } from 'vuex'
import createPersistedState from 'vuex-persistedstate'
import * as Cookies from 'js-cookie'

const store = new Store({
  // ...
  plugins: [
    createPersistedState({
      getState: (key) => Cookies.getJSON(key),
      setState: (key, state) => Cookies.set(key, state, { expires: 3, secure: true })
    })
  ]
})

Alternatively, an object following the Storage protocol (getItem, setItem, removeItem, clear, etc) could be passed:

createPersistedState({ storage: window.sessionStorage })
