Using VUEX necessary with NODE.js REST Backend - rest

Question

I´m not very experienced with Frontend/Backend Architecture, but i created a simple REST Backend with NODE.js and want to build up a Frontend based on Vue.js and Framework7.
So do you recommend using VUEX there? Or how do you deal with the sessions or the different requests you sending to the Backend?
Thanks a lot!

You don't have to use Vuex, but I'd suggest using Vuex. Here's an example using Vuex and rest api.
In store/actions.js
import {
fetchSomething,
} from '../api/index.js';
export const actions = {
getSomething({ commit }) {
fetchSomething().then((something) => {
commit('UPATED_SOMETHING', something);
});
},
}
In api/index.js
export const fetchSomething = () => {
const url = 'Some endpoint';
return new Promise((resolve) => {
axios.get(url).then((res) => {
const data = res.data;
resolve(data);
}).catch((err) => {
console.log(err);
})
})
}
In store/mutations.js
export const mutations = {
UPATED_SOMETHING(state, data) {
state.something = data;
},
}
In store/index.js
import { getters } from './getters'
import { actions } from './actions'
import { mutations } from './mutations'
// initial state
const state = {
something: null,
}
export default {
state,
getters,
actions,
mutations,
}
In store/getters.js
export const getters = {
getSomething: state => {
return state.something;
},
}
