mapGetters

mapGetters is a helper function provided by Vuex, the official state management library for Vue.js. It's used to create computed properties that map directly to Vuex getters. Getters are essentially computed properties for your Vuex store, allowing you to derive state from the store in a declarative way.

When using mapGetters, you can pass an array of strings representing the names of the getters you want to map. Vuex then generates corresponding computed properties in your Vue component. These computed properties will automatically fetch the data from the specified getters in the store. This reduces boilerplate code and makes it easier to access store state within your components. For example, instead of writing a computed property like 'get userName() { return this.$store.getters.userName; }', you can simply use mapGetters(['userName']).

Alternatively, mapGetters can also take an object, which allows you to rename the mapped computed property to something different from the original getter name. This is useful for avoiding naming conflicts or for giving a more context-specific name to the computed property within a particular component. mapGetters is a convenient tool for integrating Vuex getters into your Vue components, promoting cleaner and more maintainable code.
