reaparr-pinia-store
DevelopmentUse when creating or updating Pinia stores in the Reaparr frontend (Nuxt/Vue/Pinia/RxJS stores). Overrides generic Pinia skills. Use for store setup, state, actions, getters, RxJS Observable flows, generated API endpoints, SignalR subscriptions, and HMR. All stores must follow the project's strict internal order, boilerplate, and naming conventions.

Reaparr Pinia Store
IDE Tool Requirement
All frontend file operations and diagnostics MUST use WebStorm MCP tools (webstorm-official-mcp_*, webstorm-index-mcp_*, webstorm-index_ide_*).
Never use Rider MCP tools for any work under src/AppHost/ClientApp/.
This skill overrides generic Pinia skills for this project.
Every store uses Composition API, RxJS Observables exclusively for async, and follows a strict internal declaration order.
Strict Internal Order
Every store must declare its internals in this exact order — no exceptions:
defaultStateconstantstate = reactive<IState>(cloneDeep(defaultState))- Inter-store dependencies (
use*Store()calls) const actions = { setup(), ..., $reset() }- Private helper functions (plain
functiondeclarations, not insideactions) const getters = { ... }return { ...toRefs(state), ...actions, ...getters }- HMR block (
acceptHMRUpdate)
Canonical Template
import Log from 'consola';
import { defineStore, acceptHMRUpdate } from 'pinia';
import { reactive, computed, toRefs } from 'vue';
import type { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { switchMap, tap, map, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';
import type { MyDTO } from '@dto';
import { StoreNames, type ISetupResult } from '@interfaces';
import { myApi } from '@api';
import { RefreshDataType } from '@dto';
import { cloneDeep } from 'lodash-es';
import { useSignalrStore } from '@store';
interface IMyStoreState {
items: MyDTO[];
}
export const useMyStore = defineStore(StoreNames.MyStore, () => {
// 1. defaultState
const defaultState: IMyStoreState = { items: [] };
// 2. state
const state = reactive<IMyStoreState>(cloneDeep(defaultState));
// 3. Inter-store deps
const signalRStore = useSignalrStore();
// 4. Actions
const actions = {
setup(): Observable<ISetupResult> {
signalRStore
.getRefreshNotification(RefreshDataType.MyEntity)
.pipe(switchMap(() => actions.refresh()))
.subscribe();
return fetchAndSetItems().pipe(
map((result) => ({ name: StoreNames.MyStore, isSuccess: !!result?.isSuccess })),
catchError((err) => {
Log.error(err);
return of({ name: StoreNames.MyStore, isSuccess: false });
}),
);
},
refresh(): Observable<MyDTO[]> {
return fetchAndSetItems().pipe(map(() => [...state.items]));
},
$reset() {
Object.assign(state, cloneDeep(defaultState));
},
};
// 5. Private helpers
function fetchAndSetItems() {
return myApi.getAllEndpoint().pipe(
tap((result) => {
if (result.isSuccess) {
state.items = result.value ?? [];
}
}),
);
}
// 6. Getters
const getters = {
// Non-reactive lookup — plain function
getItem: (id: number): MyDTO | null =>
state.items.find((x) => x.id === id) ?? null,
// Reactive computed getter
getVisibleItems: computed((): MyDTO[] => state.items.filter((x) => x.isVisible)),
};
// 7. Return
return { ...toRefs(state), ...actions, ...getters };
});
// 8. HMR
if (import.meta.hot) {
import.meta.hot.accept(acceptHMRUpdate(useMyStore, import.meta.hot));
}
API Endpoints (Generated, Observable-First)
All API endpoints are auto-generated in src/types/api/generated/ and always return Observable<T> — never Promises.
Never instantiate generated classes directly. Import the pre-instantiated singleton from @api:
// ✅ Correct
import { plexServerApi, downloadApi } from '@api';
// ❌ Wrong — never do this
import { PlexServerApi } from '@api/generated/PlexServer';
const api = new PlexServerApi();
Every response shape is { isSuccess: boolean, value?: T }. Always guard on isSuccess:
myApi.getSomething(id).pipe(
tap((result) => {
if (result.isSuccess && result.value) {
// safe to use result.value
}
}),
)
RxJS Patterns
Reaparr stores are heavily RxJS. Use operators instead of async/await:
| Pattern | Use |
|---|---|
| Transform result | map((r) => r.value) |
| Side-effect (state update) | tap((r) => { if (r.isSuccess) state.items = r.value; }) |
| Chain calls | switchMap((r) => r.isSuccess ? otherApi.call() : of(r)) |
| Error recovery | catchError((e) => { Log.error(e); return of(fallback); }) |
| Conditional chain | switchMap((r) => r.isSuccess ? nextCall() : of(r)) |
Never subscribe inside actions — callers subscribe. The exception is setup(), which subscribes to SignalR notifications internally.
State Mutation Rules
| Mutation | Pattern |
|---|---|
| Replace array | state.items = newArray |
| Update one element | state.items.splice(idx, 1, updated) — never state.items[idx] = ... |
| Add element | state.items.push(item) |
| Remove element | state.items = state.items.filter(...) |
| Reset | Object.assign(state, cloneDeep(defaultState)) |
Getters: Plain vs Computed
const getters = {
// Plain function — non-reactive, parameterized lookup
getItem: (id: number): MyDTO | null =>
state.items.find((x) => x.id === id) ?? null,
// computed() — reactive, no parameters, used in templates
getVisibleItems: computed((): MyDTO[] =>
state.items.filter((x) => x.isVisible)
),
};
Use computed() only when the getter is reactive and used directly in templates without arguments.
Naming & Registration
- Store export:
use<Name>Store(e.g.,useServerStore) - Store ID: entry in
StoreNamesenum from@interfaces(e.g.,StoreNames.ServerStore) - File name:
<name>Store.tsinsrc/store/ - Barrel export: add
export * from './<name>Store';tosrc/store/index.ts
Add StoreNames entry first — the enum is in @interfaces, not auto-generated.
Path Aliases
| Alias | Resolves to |
|---|---|
@api | src/types/api/ (generated API singletons at index.ts) |
@dto | DTOs |
@interfaces | Interfaces, enums (StoreNames, ISetupResult) |
@store | Store barrel (src/store/index.ts) |
Logging & Utilities
Logging — always use consola
import Log from 'consola'; // MUST be the first import in the file
Never use console.log, console.error, console.warn, or any other console.*. Use Log.log, Log.error, Log.warn, Log.info, etc.
Utility functions — always prefer lodash-es
Before writing any custom utility (sort, clone, group, deduplicate, merge, pick, omit, …), check lodash-es first. Import only what you need:
import { cloneDeep, orderBy, groupBy, uniqBy, merge, pick, omit } from 'lodash-es';
Never hand-roll implementations that lodash-es already provides.
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
Using async/await in actions | Replace with RxJS operators |
Using console.log / console.error | Use import Log from 'consola' and Log.log / Log.error |
| Re-implementing utility functions | Prefer lodash-es — cloneDeep, orderBy, groupBy, uniqBy, merge, etc. |
Calling subscribe() inside non-setup actions | Return the Observable; caller subscribes |
state.items[i] = x for array element update | Use state.items.splice(i, 1, x) |
| Importing generated API class and newing it | Import singleton from @api |
Missing $reset() | Always include; uses Object.assign(state, cloneDeep(defaultState)) |
| Missing HMR block | Always add acceptHMRUpdate at file end |
| Wrong internal order | Follow the 8-step order above exactly |
Forgetting StoreNames entry | Add to enum in @interfaces before wiring store |
