I want to set Vuex mutations as follows:

export default {
    props: {
        store: String
    },
    methods: {
        ...mapMutations({
            changeModel: `${this.store}/changeModel`
        })
    }
}

But I catch the error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'store' of undefined

How do I correctly use props inside the module mutation name?

I want to map this.$storemit('form1/changeModel'), where form1 is set from props.

• 1 What's wrong with ...mapMutations(['changeModel'])? Do you want to map this.$store.mit('changeModel') - or something else? – raina77ow Commented Aug 29, 2018 at 20:07

• 2 @mcmimik Why are you using mutations directly in your ponent instead of actions to begin with? – Bennett Dams Commented Sep 5, 2018 at 15:18
• 1 @BennettDams You're right, actions should be used here. – mcmimik Commented Sep 11, 2018 at 23:57

Vuex helper mapMutations can be used with a function which works with this.

There does not seem to be a doc for this, but the Vuex unit test helpers.spec.js illustrates the pattern.

const vm = new Vue({
  store,
  methods: mapMutations({
    plus (mit, amount) {
      mit('inc', amount + 1)
    }
  })
})

As a bonus, the function allows passing a parameter to the mutation, which is a mon requirement.

Your code changes would be:

export default {
  props: {
    store: String
  },
  methods: {
    ...mapMutations({
      changeModel(mit) { mit(`${this.store}/changeModel`) }
    })
  }
}

The call within your ponent is just changeModel() - mapMutations is taking care of injecting the mit parameter.

Note, I am not sure this is adding much except some extra noise (pared to a simple this.$store.mit()), but perhaps your requirement is more plicated than the example code.

I think there is no way to bind this on mapActions. But you can call it with $store.dispatch

methods: {
  changeModel() {
    this.$store.dispatch(`${this.store}/changeModel`);
  }
}

It is not exaclty the solution that you asked but its effect is the same. As the mutation is a variable parameter, it is obvious to put it into a function as an input parameter instead of changing the mutation name. I would create an action in the store like this:

changeModel ({dispatch, mit, rootGetters}, mutationName) {
 mit(`${mutationName}/changeModel`, {}, {root: true})
})

And I would use this action in the ponent passing the mutationName into it.
