Testing vuex
summary
Covers concrete advice for testing Vuex: three approaches—don't test the store, test actions/mutations/getters separately, or test a running store instance—with pros and cons. Shows Jest mocking to replace API calls, using createLocalVue to install Vuex without polluting global Vue, and recommends extracting a fresh store factory so each test gets a new state. Demonstrates dispatching an async fetch and asserting state update, trading brittle fine‑grained tests for easier refactoring with instance tests.
