Does Vuex work with new Map(), as in key/value map lists?

My state for a module looks like this:

const state = {
	loaded: false,
	items: new Map(),
}

I'm having some issues when updating an item in the list through a mutation, that it doesn't propagate through to the Vue component. In the component I have:

computed: {
	item() {
		return this.$store.state.module.items.get(this.pk)
	},
},

Am I using this wrong, or does Vuex not support Map()? If it's not supported, where would be a good place to put a load(pk) method?

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project.

The problem is twofold:

1. Vue reactivity system does not (yet) support Map, Set and their weak counterparts. There's a discussion on the topic: Support more collection data types in v-for vue#2410
2. Store data should be serializable, and there is no standard way to serialize Map and Set into JSON.

Is there a way to use Map and Set with vue/vuex and some boilerplate, or is it just not supported at all?
