title: Vuex/Vuejs: accessing localStorage within vuex store
body: <p>I am using <code>localStorage</code> to set and get items, which is placed within my javascript code in a .vue file. However, I would like to somehow access that storage and place it within my Vuex store section which is in another file, most preferably within the mutations.</p>
  
  <p>If someone knows how to do this, please could you help? Below is the code of the localStorage that I am using.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if(response.status === 200){
      console.log('TOKEN_SET', response)
      this.access_token = response.data.access_token
      localStorage.setItem(this.access_token, JSON.stringify(this.access_token));
  };
  mounted(){
      console.log('GOT_TOKEN')
      if(localStorage.getItem(this.access_token)) this.access_token = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(this.access_token))
  }
  </code></pre>
