How to get Pinia store inside the plugin function?

[camohub]

I have a helpers plugin which need to access Pinia store. The plugin have access to app object as all Vue plugins. I there a way to get Pinia store object from app instance inside the plugin? The plugin looks like

//import { useAppStore } from '@/store/app'  // This does not work. Pinia is not instantiated yet.
//const appStore = useAppStore()

export default {
    install: (app) => {
        console.log(app)
        app.config.globalProperties.$translate = (translations, key) => {
            let result = translations[key] ? translations[key][0] : ''  // First item as default value or ''
           ......
        }
    }
}

export default {
    install: (app) => {
    
        console.log(app)
        
        const appStore = useAppStore()
        
        console.log(appStore)
        
        app.config.globalProperties.$translate = (translations, key) => {
            let result = translations[key] ? translations[key][0] : ''  // First item as default value or ''
           ......
        }
    }
}

This is it. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

This causes errors if any part of your store requires it be within a vue instance/setup function, such as many use* hooks or vue-query.

It appears that inside of install is not yet within an acceptable vue scope, so this will not work in these cases where that's required.

Can you tell me how to get this helpers.translate() function insde composition api code? I made this inside view file

import helpers from '@/plugins/helpers'

So helpers object is there but I can not use translate object. Nor the helpres.translate nor translate is available.
