<p>Hello, I have a question: In main.js, I have a global function <code>getSites</code> that retrieves the list of sites from the API. </p><p> This function works using async/await and returns site data asynchronously. </p><p> I also have a global variable called <code>lockSitesLoading</code> which I set to true when I start getting data from the API, I need this variable to prevent the client from making new requests to the server. </p><p> In the first function <code>getSites</code>, I need to check this variable <code>lockSitesLoading</code> and if it is true, start monitoring it until it changes to false. At this point, I want to call <code>getSites</code> recursively. </p><p> The problem starts now because when I start watching the variable, the function does not wait for the variable to become false, but returns <code>undefined</code>. </p><p> Here is my code: </p> <p>Component.vue:</p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">async mounted() { let vm = this; const sites = await vm.getSites(); vm.sites = sites.data },</pre> <p>main.js:</p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">async getSites() { let vm = this; if (vm.$store.state.lockSitesLoading) { vm.$watch('$store.state.lockSitesLoading', () => vm.getSites()); } else { return vm._getSitesOnline(); //This is the function that actually gets the data from the server }</pre> <p>I tried solving it this way but it doesn't work. Any ideas? </p>

I don’t know if you set lockSitesLoading = true, and I don’t know where you set it.

This is a working example.

Vue.use(Vuex)

const store = new Vuex.Store({
  state: {
    sites: [],
    lockSitesLoading: false
  },
  actions: {
    async loadSites(context) {
        context.state.lockSitesLoading = true;    
        const sites = await context.dispatch('getSites');
        context.state.sites = sites.data;
        context.state.lockSitesLoading = false;    
    },
    async getSites(context) {
        return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
          setTimeout(function(){
            resolve({ data: ['site1', 'site2', 'site3']})              
          },1000)
        })
      }    
  }
})

new Vue(
  { 
    el:'#app',
    store: store,
    async mounted() {
       await this.$store.dispatch('loadSites')
    },
    computed: {
      sites() { return this.$store.state.sites },
      lockSitesLoading() { return this.$store.state.lockSitesLoading }
    },
    watch: {
      lockSitesLoading(newVal, oldVal) {
          console.log(`lockSitesLoading: ${oldVal} -> ${newVal}`)
      }
    }    
  }
)
#app { line-height: 1.75; }
[v-cloak] { display: none; }
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/2.7.14/vue.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/vuex@3.6.2/dist/vuex.js"></script>
<div id="app" v-cloak>
  sites: {{sites}}<br/>
  lockSitesLoading: {{lockSitesLoading}}
</div>

Basically requires a promise to wait for:

let unwatch;

  await new Promise(resolve => {
    unwatch = vm.$watch('$store.state.lockSitesLoading', loading => {
      if (!loading) {
        resolve();
      }
    }, { immediate: true });
  });

  unwatch();

  await vm._getSitesOnline();

Please note that if lockSitesLoading blocks execution for some reason, this will cause a memory leak.

There may be a cleaner way to achieve this using the composition API and VueUse compositions.
