What is Vuex PersistedState and how do I use it?

Vuex PersistedState is a plugin for Vuex that allows you to save the state of your Vuex store in local storage, so that it persists across page reloads. You can use it by installing the plugin and then adding it to your Vuex store.

How do I install Vuex PersistedState?

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

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple 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()]
});

What are the benefits of using it?

The main benefits are improved user experience, as users can return to the app and find their state intact, and reduced data loss during page refreshes.
