Can you provide a proper repo to reproduce ?

That's it

use https://github.com/Seb-L/pinia-plugin-persist 0.0.7 version, It uses watch(() => store.$state, () => {}), so there is no such problem. Now it also uses store$ Subscribe (1.0.0 version), like your library, has the same problem of non persist. It's really not clear what caused it

[zhenyuWang]

When I use version 0.0.93, it's fine. When I use version 1.0.0, I refresh the page and some data cache fails. I don't know why, but there is a problem.

[prazdevs]

Also, have you tried using pinia's very simple recommendation on subscribing to state where you can watch the state? https://pinia.vuejs.org/core-concepts/state.html#subscribing-to-the-state

watch(
  pinia.state,
  (state) => {
    // persist the whole state to the local storage whenever it changes
    localStorage.setItem('piniaState', JSON.stringify(state))
  },
  { deep: true }
)

this is far from the plugin, but can help to see where the problem is coming from

[BkunS]

I encountered the same issue by not seeing initial state saved to storage, which I believe should be the expected behavior. After playing around a little bit, I believe that initializing store does NOT trigger the store.$subscribe(), hence no way to save the initial state to storage.

My suggestion is to change here a little bit:

...
// src/index.ts line 114
    beforeRestore?.(context)

    try {
      const fromStorage = storage.getItem(key)
      if (fromStorage) {
          store.$patch(serializer.deserialize(fromStorage))
      } 
      // Save initial state if not having fromStorage values:
      else {
          storage.setItem(key, serializer.serialize(store.$state))
      }
    } catch (_error) {}

    afterRestore?.(context)
...

@BkunS @hjw0968 Probably you guys passed a new pinia instance to the vue app. Check your app.use()

import { createApp } from "vue";
import { createPinia } from "pinia";
import piniaPluginPersistedstate from 'pinia-plugin-persistedstate';
import App from "./App.vue";

const app = createApp(App);

const pinia = createPinia();
pinia.use(piniaPluginPersistedstate);

app.use(pinia); // ✅ should pass the pinia instance which use the plugin
app.use(createPinia()); // ❌ shouldn't pass a new pinia instance

[BkunS]

No, just double-checked and this is not the case.

I also downgrade to 0.0.93, that's work fine.

Closing this issue as stale, and it doesnt include a proper reproduction repo. If the issue persists, feel free to reopen with a reproduction repo! :)

鸡哥，2年了，pinia 还是不会持久化Set集合，怎么搞

import { defineStore } from 'pinia'
import { parse, stringify } from 'zipson'
import type { StateTree } from 'pinia'

export const useHomeStore = defineStore(
  'gp-home',
  () => {
    //pinia-plugin-persistedstate :基本类型之外的将不会被持久化
    const historySet = new Set<string>([])
    const addSet = (s: string) => {
      historySet.add(s)
    }

    return {
      historySet,
      addSet
    }
  },
  {
    persist: {
      serializer: {
        serialize: (state: StateTree): string => stringify(state),
        deserialize: (state: string): StateTree => parse(state)
      }
    }
  }
)

I use custom serializer but doesn't work , still could not save in local storage
