Methods

hydrate

hydrate(storeState, initialState): void

Allows hydrating the store during SSR when complex state (like client side only refs) are used in the store definition and copying the value from pinia.state isn't enough.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
storeStateUnwrapRef<S>the current state in the store
initialStateUnwrapRef<S>initialState

Returns

void

Example

If in your state, you use any customRefs, any computeds, or any refs that have a different value on Server and Client, you need to manually hydrate them. e.g., a custom ref that is stored in the local storage:

ts
const useStore = defineStore('main', {
  state: () => ({
    n: useLocalStorage('key', 0)
  }),
  hydrate(storeState, initialState) {
    // @ts-expect-error: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/43826
    storeState.n = useLocalStorage('key', 0)
  }
})
