Yes, you do in case your component gets destroyed and the watcher is not needed anymore. You can read about it here: vuex.vuejs.org/api/#subscribe
I will update the examples and the post to add this information. Thanks for asking!
I'm just curious, could you share your use case? I can imagine something like navigating to a new route where the watcher doesn't make sense anymore but can't think about a lot of other use cases =[
It's just to try to undesrstand the Observable pattern. When you unsubscribe, you cancel Observable executions and release resources. If you don't do it, you'll probably avoid memory leaks. I don't know if Vuex does that for you.
Exactly. Once you subscribe you have to unsubscribe unless your Subject has some kind of check to remove the Observer in case it doesn't exist anymore.
For Vuex you've to do it manually, which means you've to unsubscribe once your component is destroyed.
If you don't do it you might end up in trouble as you mentioned =]
I didn't get if you were asking or not but I'm just confirming hehehe
Do I need to unsubscribe the mutation in the destroyed hook?
Very good question Oscar.
