Global Singletons

[Akryum]

Clear and concise description of the problem

By default data is represented as collections of items. But in some cases it makes sense to have a more specific query or mutation other than the CRUD-style of the querying API. Examples: currentUser, logout()...

Suggested solution

(Subject to change)

const model = {
  name: 'User',
  global: {
    currentUser: {
      query: true, // Allow querying
      state: { // State stored in the cache
        currentUserId: null
      },
      find: (state) => ({ // Find options (same as in query API)
        // filter: user => user.id === state.currentUserId,
        key: state.currentUserId,
      }),
    },
    logout: {
      mutation: true, // Allow mutation-style calling
    },
    // or
    logout () {
      await $fetch('/api/logout')
      this.store.User.state.currentUserId = null
    },
  },
}
