Questions tagged [asyncdata]

Nuxt.js' asyncData is a way of blocking a specific page render, for data fetching and then proceed by returning the computed data.

Looking like this

async asyncData({ params, $http }) {
  const post = await $http.$get(`https://api.nuxtjs.dev/posts/${params.id}`)
  return { post }
}

It is an alternative to the fetch() hook. More details on the differences between the two can be found here: https://nuxtjs.org/blog/understanding-how-fetch-works-in-nuxt-2-12/
