How to emit a Vue event into state

How can I set an event value emitted from a component straight to the state in the data property instead of just calling a function first and setting it after e.g

<Input
  id="firstname"
  type="text"
  v-model="user.firstname"
  required
  p="p-2
  md:p-4"
  class="mt-2"
  errorText="First name field cannot be empty"
  :validation="user.firstname.length === 0"
  @valid="checkFirstName"
/>

But I want to set the value coming directly from @valid to a key in my state

The value comes in as $event and you can set it directly to a data property:

@valid="name = $event"

Since your question is tagged Vuex, maybe you want to call a mutation:

@valid="$store.commit('SET_NAME', $event)"

I don't see a good reason for that when you could commit from the child. If the question is about altering Vuex state without a mutation, no that's a violation and shouldn't be done.

Here's a demo:

Vue.component('child', {
  template: `<button @click="$emit('valid', 'myname')">click me</button>`
})

new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: () => ({
    name: ''
  })
});
<div id="app">
  Name: {{ name }}<br>
  <child @valid="name = $event"></child>
</div>
