For my application, I'm mutating the object in my data: [{...}, {...}, {...}] to state changes occurring at other open instances of my application (happening through web sockets etc, etc). I have a handler on the data structure like this below:

watch: { todos: { deep: true, handler: todoStorage.save, }, }, 

Triggering todoStorage.save would unnecessarily save the contents of the array back to my database where I already know the current state of the application.

Is there a way to mutate the array without triggering the handler? It seems that trying to undefine the handler while making the operation doesn't work.
