Is Vuex Store accessible from console or from client's browser?
I'm building this Vue 2 app, and I keep reading that one should use Vuex State management, in the beginning I didn't quite understand it's concept, but now after playing around with Vue, I can see it's a most for a larger app.
But my question is can someone from Dev console or in any form access data which are stored in store.js, I mean those data which I do not render to browser?
Can I keep sensitive data on store, by sensitive, I mean, user clicked this link, sent message to this user, spent so much time on this page etc... and in mean time upload all this data to my db..
Is Vuex Store for this kind of work/job ?
Cheers
Answer
Yes they can.
The invocation I use is
document.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].__vue__.$store.state
This assumes the first link has vue properties, which is almost always the case. If not, try other tags. The UI is unpleasant, but adequately self-documenting. It's a useful debugging tool and something a user could do.
Of course, a determined and skilled user could write a browser plugin to put a good UI on this. Or maybe that's what the Vue.js devtools extension for Chrome does? I haven't actually used that.
