useLazyAsyncData - Nuxt

useLazyAsyncData provides a wrapper around useAsyncData that triggers navigation before the handler is resolved by setting the lazy option to true.

::note By default, useAsyncData blocks navigation until its async handler is resolved. useLazyAsyncData allows navigation to occur immediately while data fetching continues in the background. ::

Usage

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
const { status, data: posts } = await useLazyAsyncData('posts', () => $fetch('/api/posts'))
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <div v-if="status === 'pending'">
      Loading...
    </div>
    <div v-else-if="status === 'error'">
      Error loading posts
    </div>
    <div v-else>
      {{ posts }}
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

When using useLazyAsyncData, navigation will occur before fetching is complete. This means you must handle pending and error states directly within your component's template.

::warning useLazyAsyncData is a reserved function name transformed by the compiler, so you should not name your own function useLazyAsyncData. ::

Type

export function useLazyAsyncData<DataT, ErrorT> (
  handler: (ctx?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
  options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>,
): AsyncData<DataT, ErrorT>

export function useLazyAsyncData<DataT, ErrorT> (
  key: string,
  handler: (ctx?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
  options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>,
): AsyncData<DataT, ErrorT>

useLazyAsyncData has the same signature as useAsyncData.

Parameters

useLazyAsyncData accepts the same parameters as useAsyncData, with the lazy option automatically set to true.

Example

vue

<script setup lang="ts">
/* Navigation will occur before fetching is complete.
  Handle 'pending' and 'error' states directly within your component's template
*/
const { status, data: count } = await useLazyAsyncData('count', () => $fetch('/api/count'))

watch(count, (newCount) => {
  // Because count might start out null, you won't have access
  // to its contents immediately, but you can watch it.
})
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    {{ status === 'pending' ? 'Loading' : count }}
  </div>
</template>
