  1. Hi, how do you handle api errors? How are they transported to the GUI when all handling takes place in the store?

  2. Hello! I mostly use bootstrap-vue dismissible alert (https://bootstrap-vue.org/docs/components/alert). This is an example of how I use it.

    {{error}}

    export default {
    name: “Login”,
    data() {
    return {
    email: “”,
    password: “”,
    errors: [],
    };
    },
    methods: {
    login() {
    this.$store.dispatch(“retrieveUser”, {
    email: this.email,
    password: this.password
    });
    this.$store.dispatch(“retrieveId”, {
    email: this.email,
    password: this.password
    });
    this.$store
    .dispatch(“retrieveToken”, {
    email: this.email,
    password: this.password
    })
    .then(response => {
    const errors = response.data.error;
    const token = response.data.token;
    if (errors) {
    this.errors.push(errors);
    } else
    this.$router.push({
    name: “Home”
    });
    });
    },
    }

    I hope this helps!

  3. “`
    {{gettersUser.id}} {{gettersUser.name}} {{gettersUser.address}} “`
    This makes no sense. It should be getUsers.
    “`
    {{ user.id }} {{ user.name }} {{ user.address }}
    “`

  4. Hi, is there a reason that in the same file in the getters you use state.users and in the actions you use this.users? It is confusing, and not interchangeable, I tried. Actions didn’t work with state.users. Thank you
