What is Vuex Persisted State and how do I use it?

Vuex Persisted State is a plugin for Vuex that allows you to save the state of your Vuex store in local storage, so that it persists even after a page refresh. You can use it by installing the plugin and configuring it in your Vuex store.

How do I install the Vuex Persisted State plugin?

You can install it via npm with the command npm install vuex-persistedstate. After that, you need to import it and use it in your Vuex store configuration.

Can you show me a code example of how to set it up?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuex from 'vuex';
import createPersistedState from 'vuex-persistedstate';

Vue.use(Vuex);

const store = new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    count: 0
  },
  mutations: {
    increment(state) {
      state.count++;
    }
  },
  plugins: [createPersistedState()]
});

This will save the count state in local storage.
