Consider a simple Vue blog:
I'm using Vuex as my datastore and I need to set up two getters: a getPost getter for retrieving a post by ID, as well as a listFeaturedPosts that returns the first few characters of each featured post. The datastore schema for the featured posts list references the posts by their IDs. These IDs need to be resolved to actual posts for the purposes of showing the excerpts.

store/state.js

export const state = {
  featuredPosts: [2, 0],
  posts: [
    'Lorem et ipsum dolor sit amet',
    'Lorem et ipsum dolor sit amet',
    'Lorem et ipsum dolor sit amet',
    'Lorem et ipsum dolor sit amet',
    'Lorem et ipsum dolor sit amet',
  ]
}

store/getters.js

export default getPost = (state) => (postID) => {
  return state.posts[postID]
}

export default listFeaturedPosts = (state, getters) => () => {
  console.log(getters) // {}

  return state.featuredPosts.map(postID => getters.getPost(postID).substring(0, EXCERPT_LENGTH);
}

store/index.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuex from 'vuex'
import state from './state'
import * as getters from './getters'
import * as mutations from './mutations'

Vue.use(Vuex)

export default new Vuex.Store({
  state,
  getters,
  mutations
})

According to the documentation, the getters parameter can be used to access other getters. However, when I try to access getters from inside listFeaturedPosts, it's empty, and I get an error in the console due to getters.getPost being undefined in that context.

How do I call getPost as a Vuex getter from inside listFeaturedPosts in the example above?

In VueJS 2.0, you must pass both state and getters.

Getters are passed to other getters as the 2nd Argument:

export default foo = (state, getters) => {
    return getters.yourGetter
}

Official documentation: https://vuex.vuejs.org/guide/getters.html#property-style-access
