Data fetching is a crucial part of any web application. In this episode of DejaVue, we discuss the different ways to fetch data in Vue.js and Nuxt.js, and how to cache it.
We also talk about the experimental Suspense feature in Vue.js and how it can be used to improve the user experience, as well as how to handle third-party scripts in your application.
In addition, Nuxt's data fetching options are discussed, including the $fetch method, useFetch, useAsyncData and the useNuxtData composable. Finally, we cover server-side caching in Nuxt.js, including route rules, defineCachedEventHandler, and defineCachedFunction.
Enjoy the episode!
