Can I call commit from one of mutations in Vuex store

Question

I have a vuex store, like following:

import spreeApi from \'../../gateways/spree-api\'
// initial state
const state = {
  products: [],
  categories: []
}

// mu         


        

Answer 1

Edit : I stumbled upon a very similar problem and the solution for me was to use a vuex getter : https://vuex.vuejs.org/en/getters.html
Your categories is actually a "computed" version of your products. Having categories as a getter allows you to keep them in sync with products and avoids duplicating the data in your store.

For the sake of answering the question in the title i leave my original answer.
An alternative to Daniel Buckmaster solution :

const mutations = {
 SET_PRODUCTS: (state, response) => {
   state.products = response.data.products
   this.SET_CATEGORIES(state)
 },
 SET_CATEGORIES: (state) => {
   state.categories = state.products.map(product => product.category)
 }
}

As you can see you could directly call the mutation itself. (as Daniel said, they are just plain functions after all)
I believe that this is a more appropriate answer to the original question : it is an actual way of composing mutations without code duplication or extra functions
