vuex-undo-redo
A Vue.js plugin that allows you to undo or redo a mutation.
The building of this plugin is documented in the article Create A Vuex Undo/Redo For VueJS
Live demos
There's also a demo in this Codepen. The source code for the demo is here.
Installation
npm i --save-dev vuex-undo-redo
Browser
Module
;
Usage
Since it's a plugin, use it like:
Vue;
You must, of course, have the Vuex plugin installed as well, and it must be intalled before this plugin. You must also create a Vuex store which must implement a mutation emptyState
which should revert the store back to the initial state e.g.:
state: myVal: null mutations: { this; } ;
Ignoring mutations
Occasionally, you may want to perform mutations without including them in the undo history (say you are working on an image editor and the user toggles grid visibility - you probably do not want this in undo history). The plugin has an ignoredMutations
setting to leave these mutations out of the history:
Vue;
It's worth noting that this only means the mutations will not be recorded in the undo history. You must still manually manage your state object in the emptyState
mutation:
{ this; }
