Data store provider components

[mhelaiwa]

What problem is this solving

It's not that much of a problem .. But I am of that kind of people who feel it a tedious process to import the useStore and execute it to just use a single state item inside the template.

Proposed solution

A built-in renderless data provider component which passes the store to the template through a the default slot. In fact I use this method inside my projects but it would be good if there is a built-in component for this purpose.

Define a renderless data-provider component

/**
* StoreProvider.vue
* A renderless store-provider component
*/

<script lang="ts">
import {defineComponent} from "vue";
import {useLayoutStore} from "@/js/store";

export default defineComponent({
    setup(props: any, ctx) {
        const store = useLayoutStore()
        return () => ctx.slots.default(store)
    }
})
</script>

Import the component globally

/**
* main.js
*/

import StoreProvider from '@/store/components/StoreProvider.vue'
createApp({render: () => h(App, props)})
    .use(pinia)
    .component('StoreProvider', StoreProvider)
    .mount('#app')

Use the provider inside your app

/**
* DefaultLayout.vue
*/

<template>
   ...
   <StoreProvider #default="store">
      <button@click="store.toggleDrawer" > Toggle App Drawer </button>
   </StoreProvider >
   ...
</template>

Describe alternatives you've considered

It would be very nice if this component has a props to accept the name of the store to dynamically import and provide it.

This simply looks like you either prefer using a Context / Provider pattern or you have been using react for some time and got used to it 😄
The proposed version is actually longer and personally I find it more verbose. You are free to implement it in your own applications with the component you show but it won't be part of pinia because of different conventions

Nope, I am 39 and never ever used react and I won't 😂
