# Stores ## Location The definitions of stores reside in `shell/store`. Stores added to `shell/nuxt/store.js` will be initialized at the start of the app rendering. ## Notes This file was generated by nuxt and will soon be redefined by hand. It's safe to add new stores to this file. ## Pattern Define the store in a file that resides within `shell/store`. Then add the store to `shell/nuxt/store.js`. shell/nuxt/store.js ```js ... resolveStoreModules(require('../store/i18n.js'), 'i18n.js') ... ```
