Nuxt vuex - moving store from Vue - axios

Question

I have been fiddling with moving a tutorial I did in Vue to Nuxt. I have been able to get everything working, however I feel I'm not doing it the "proper way". I have added the Nuxt axios module, but wasnt able to get it working, so I ended up just using the usual axios npm module. Here is my store:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuex from 'vuex'
import axios from 'axios'
import VueAxios from 'vue-axios'
Vue.use(Vuex)
Vue.use(VueAxios, axios)
export const state = () => ({
events: []
})
export const mutations = {
setEvents: (state, events) => {
state.events = events
}
}
export const actions = {
loadEvents: async context => {
let uri = 'http://localhost:4000/events';
const response = await axios.get(uri)
context.commit('setEvents', response.data)
}
}
I would like to know how to re-write this store using the #nuxtjs/axios module. I also didnt think I'd need to import vuex here, but if I dont, my app doesn't work.
Thanks for any help!

Using the #nuxtjs/axios module, you can configure axios inside your nuxt.config.js:
// nuxt.config.js
export default {
modules: [
'#nuxtjs/axios',
],
axios: {
// proxy: true
}
}
You can use it inside your store (or components) with this.$axios
// In store
{
actions: {
async getIP ({ commit }) {
const ip = await this.$axios.$get('http://icanhazip.com')
commit('SET_IP', ip)
}
}
}
