How to dispatch action from a javascript file (instead of a vue component)?
First, create the store in store.js.
import Vue from 'vue';import Vuex from 'vuex';import actions from './actions';import mutations from './mutations';import getters from './getters';const store = new Vuex.Store({ modules: {}, state: { location: null }, actions, mutations, getters, });export default storeThen, import the store into jsfile.js and use it.
import store from "./store"const detail = {};detail.validateLocation = (location) => { // Use imported store store.dispatch('SET_LOCATION', {city: 'California'})}export default detail;Assuming you have a main or index file that creates your Vue instance, you now likely need to change the import from importing the create function to simply importing the store.
