Standalone Data Stores ​

Creating a Data Store ​

import { useDataStore } from 'feathers-pinia'
import { createPinia, defineStore } from 'pinia'

const pinia = createPinia()

const useStore = defineStore('custom-tasks', () => {
  const utils = useDataStore({
    idField: 'id',
    customSiftOperators: {}
    setupInstance: (data: any, { api, service, servicePath }) => data
  })
  return { ...utils }
})
const store = useStore(pinia) // --> See API, below

// Adds HMR support
if (import.meta.hot) {
  import.meta.hot.accept(acceptHMRUpdate(useStore, import.meta.hot))
}

Similar to a Pinia store, the top-level of the store is a reactive, which means nested computed properties will be unwrapped, which means you don't have to access their contents using .value, like you would with a Vue ref or computed, normally.

Options ​

• idField is the name of the unique identifier attribute on each record.
• customSiftOperators is an optional object containing sift operators for using custom operators to query store data with findInStore.
• setupInstance is a function that receives the instance data and allows you to customize it before returning it.

State ​

• idField will match the idField option that you provided in the Model options.
• isSsr exists as a utility attribute which can be used in custom store getters and actions.

Items ​

Items are records which have an unique idField.

• itemsById is an object used as the storage for items. They are keyed by idField to allow for quick lookup.
• items is a dynamically-computed array which holds the list of all records in itemsById.
• itemIds is a dynamically-computed array which holds all keys in itemsById.

Temps ​

Temporary records ("temps" for short) are records which are not created with an idField. They are automatically assigned a __tempId during creation.

• tempsById is an object used as the storage for temps. They are keyed by __tempId to allow for quick lookup.
• temps is a dynamically-computed array which holds the list of all records in tempsById.
• tempIds is a dynamically-computed array which holds all keys in tempsById.

Clones ​

Clones are copies of stored data from either items or temps. They have either an idField or a __tempId.

• clonesById is an object used as the storage for clones. They are keyed by __cloneId to allow for quick lookup.
• clones is a dynamically-computed array which holds the list of all records in clonesById.
• cloneIds is a dynamically-computed array which holds all keys in clonesById.
• clone(itemOrTemp) creates a copy of the itemOrTemp and stores it in clonesById.
• commit(clone) copies the keys from the provided clone onto its original record in items (or temps).
• reset(clone) makes the clone match the original record in items (or temps).

The "new" Method ​

service.new(data)

Creates a new instance of this service's data type. Records are not automatically added to the store. You must call instance.createInStore() to do that.

Storage Methods ​

The storage APIs include methods for adding data to and removing data from the internal storage. All of the below methods except clearAll are also aliased directly on the Model. The clearAll method is not aliased to make it explicitly obvious that you are clearing the store by calling Model.store.clearAll().

findInStore(params) ​

service.findInStore(params) => ({ data, limit, skip, total })

Returns records from the store matching params.query. The response is synchronous and always returns a results object with an array of data. Paginated responses also include limit, skip, and total. If you turn off pagination, only { data } will be returned. All returned properties are computed properties.

findOneInStore(params) ​

service.findOneInStore(params) => Computed<Record>

Returns the first record that matches params.query. The response is synchronous and returns an object.

countInStore(params) ​

service.countInStore(params) => Computed<number>

Returns the number of records in the store which match params.query.

getFromStore(id, params) ​

• getFromStore(id, params) => Computed<Record> returns the record from the store with matching id, or returns null if a record is not found.

createInStore(data) ​

service.createInStore(record)
service.createInStore(record[])

Adds the data object or array to the correct internal storage (items or temps), depending on if an idField is present.

patchInStore(idOrItems, data, params) ​

// several overrides
service.patchInStore(id, data)
service.patchInStore(id[], data)
service.patchInStore(item, data)
service.patchInStore(item[], data)
service.patchInStore(null, data, paramsWithQuery)

Updates each of the provided items or items that match the ids with the provided data.

removeFromStore(idOrItems, params) ​

// several overrides
service.removeFromStore(id, params)
service.removeFromStore(id[], params)
service.removeFromStore(record, params)
service.removeFromStore(record[], params)
service.removeFromStore(null, paramsWithQuery)

Removes provided items or items that match provided ids from the store. You can also pass null as the first argument and remove items based on a query.

clearAll() ​

service.clearAll()

Removes all stored items, temps, and clones from the store.
