id

id: Id

state()?

optional state: () => S

Returns

S

Methods

hydrate()?

optional 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

• storeState: UnwrapRef<S>

the current state in the store

• initialState: UnwrapRef<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:

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)
  }
})
