# Store Class

The core Beedle Store class is the main organ grinder. When you import Beedle, this is the default export that you'll get.

# Constructor

The Store's constructor takes a params object which is required. It could technically be empty, but it's recommended that you pass at least some default state in.

# Available params parameters

# actions

An object literal containing action methods that are called by the dispatch method.

# Example

const actions = {
    actionMethod(context, payload) {
        ...
    }
}

# mutations

An object literal containing mutation methods that are called by the commit method.

# Example

const mutations = {
    mutationMethod(state, payload) {
        ...
    }
}

# initialState

This is the default state of your application. If set, this will override the default state that Beedle sets, which is an empty object.

# Example

const initialState = {
    favouriteAnimal: 'Pamsters',
    description: 'They are actually Prairie Dogs, but Pamsters is a better name',
    pets: [
        {
            type: 'cat',
            name: 'Dora'
        },
        {
            type: 'cat',
            name: 'Delilah'
        }
    ]
}

# Methods

# dispatch(actionKey, payload)

This method calls a named action and passes along a payload. It'll log an error if the specified action can't be found.

# actionKey: String

A string representation of your action name. If your action is called myAction you'll call it with dispatch like this:

dispatch('myAction', { some: 'data' })

# payload: mixed (optional)

The data that you want to pass along with to your action.

# Result

The dispatch method will run your action and pass it the following:

• context: A reference to the Store
• payload: Whatever was passed into the dispatch method

# commit(mutationKey, payload)

This method calls a named mutation and passes along a payload. It'll log an error if the specified action can't be found.

# mutationKey: String

A string representation of your mutation name. If your mutation is called myMutation you'll call it with dispatch like this:

context.commit('myMutation', { some: 'data' })

# payload: mixed (optional)

The data that you want to pass along with to your mutation.

# subscribe(callback)

This method allows you to pass a callback that should be fired when the store's state is modified. You can run the method as many times, with as many functions as you like as it stores them in a collection.

# callback: function

A valid function that is called when the state is mutated. The callback is called like so:

callback(data);

The data parameter is the state in its current form after the mutation that fired this event.
