Accessing getters within Vuex mutations

Vuex store mutation methods do not provide direct access to getters.

This is probably bad practice*, but you could pass a reference to getters when committing a mutation like so:

actions: {
  fooAction({commit, getters}, data) {
    commit('FOO_MUTATION', {data, getters})
  }
},
mutations: {
  FOO_MUTATION(state, {data, getters}) {
    console.log(getters);
  }
}

* It is best practice to keep mutations a simple as possible, only directly affecting the Vuex state. This makes it easier to reason about state changes without having to think about any side effects. Now, if you follow best practices for vuex getters, they should not have any side effects in the first place. But, any logic that needs to reference getters can run in an action, which has read access to getters and state. Then the output of that logic can be passed to the mutation. So, you can pass the reference to the getters object to the mutation, but there’s no need to and it muddies the waters.
