How to access Vuex module getters and mutations?

I'm trying to switch to using Vuex instead of my homegrown store object, and I must say I'm not finding the docs as clear as elsewhere in the Vue.js world. Let's say I have a Vuex module called 'products', with its own state, mutations, getters, etc. How do I reference an action in that module called, say, 'clearWorking Data'? The docs give this example of accessing a module's state:

store.state.a // -> moduleA's state

But nothing I can see about getters, mutations, actions, etc.

In Addition to the accepted answer I wanna provide you with a workarround for the getter which is missing in the answer.

Debug the Store
In any case you can call console.log(this.$store) to debug the Store.
If you do so you will see the getters are prefixed with the namespace in their name. enter image description here

Access namespaced getter
this.$store.getters['yourModuleName/someGetterMethod']

Dispatch namespaced
this.$store.dispatch('yourModuleName/doSomething')

Dispatch namespaced with params
this.$store.getters['yourModuleName/someGetterMethod'](myParam)

Conclusion
The key is to handle the namespace like a file System like Justin explained.

Edit: found a nice library for handling vuex Store
In addition to the basic knowledge I'd like to add this vuex library as a nice addition for working effectivly and fast with the vuex store. https://github.com/davestewart/vuex-pathify .
It looks pretty interesting and cares much of the configuration for you and also allows you to handle 2waybinding directly with vuex.

** Edit: Thanks to the other Answers. Added Dispatching method with params for wholeness.
