:fire: **HEADS UP!** You're currently looking at Vuex 4 branch. If you're looking for Vuex 3, [please check out `dev` branch](https://github.com/vuejs/vuex).
Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, with rules ensuring that the state can only be mutated in a predictable fashion. It also integrates with Vue's official [devtools extension](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-devtools) to provide advanced features such as zero-config time-travel debugging and state snapshot export / import.
Learn more about Vuex at "[What is Vuex?](https://next.vuex.vuejs.org/)", or get started by looking into [full documentation](http://next.vuex.vuejs.org/).
You may find example applications built with Vuex under the `examples` directory.
Running the examples:
```bash
$ npm install
$ npm run dev # serve examples at localhost:8080
```
