Introduction

nuxt-use-async-data-wrapper is a utility that transforms an object containing Promise-returning functions into a set of functions compatible with Nuxt's useAsyncData. This allows for seamless integration with Nuxt's reactivity system and simplifies data fetching in your Nuxt applications.

Whether you're working with custom services, API clients, or any asynchronous functions, this utility helps you leverage useAsyncData without boilerplate code.

Features

• Automatic Wrapping: Converts all Promise-returning functions into useAsyncData compatible functions.
• Reactivity: Automatically updates data when reactive parameters change.
• Type Safety: Written in TypeScript with comprehensive typings.
• Customization: Supports passing options to useAsyncData for advanced use cases.
• Ease of Use: Simplifies data fetching in Nuxt applications.

Installation

Install the package using pnpm:

pnpm add nuxt-use-async-data-wrapper

Or using npm:

npm install nuxt-use-async-data-wrapper

Usage

Wrapping an Object

First, import the useAsyncDataWrapper function and wrap your object containing Promise-returning functions.

// Import the wrapper function
import { useAsyncDataWrapper } from 'nuxt-use-async-data-wrapper';

// Assume you have an object with Promise-returning functions
const myService = {
  async fetchData() {
    // ...implementation
  },
  async getItem(id: number) {
    // ...implementation
  },
};

// Wrap your object
const wrappedService = useAsyncDataWrapper(myService);

Using Wrapped Functions

You can now use the wrapped functions in your Nuxt components with the benefits of useAsyncData.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { ref } from 'vue';

const id = ref(1);

// Function without arguments
const { data: dataList, status: listStatus, error: listError } = wrappedService.fetchData();

// Function with arguments
const { data: itemData, status: itemStatus, error: itemError } = wrappedService.getItem(() => [id.value]);

// Reactivity: when id.value changes, itemData updates automatically
</script>

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Data List</h1>
    <div v-if="listStatus === 'pending'">Loading...</div>
    <div v-else-if="listError">Error: {{ listError.message }}</div>
    <div v-else>
      <pre>{{ dataList }}</pre>
    </div>

    <h1>Item Data (ID: {{ id }})</h1>
    <input v-model="id" type="number" min="1" />
    <div v-if="itemStatus === 'pending'">Loading...</div>
    <div v-else-if="itemError">Error: {{ itemError.message }}</div>
    <div v-else>
      <pre>{{ itemData }}</pre>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

API Reference

useAsyncDataWrapper<T>(obj: T): WrappedObject

Transforms an object's Promise-returning functions into functions compatible with Nuxt's useAsyncData.

Type Parameters

• T: The type of the original object containing Promise-returning functions.

Parameters

• obj: T
  The object containing functions that return Promises.

Returns

• WrappedObject
  An object with the same function names as the original object, but wrapped to work with useAsyncData.

Example Usage

const wrappedService = useAsyncDataWrapper(myService);

---

Examples

Function Without Arguments

// Original function without arguments
async function fetchData() {
  // ...fetch data
}

// Wrap the function
const wrappedService = useAsyncDataWrapper({ fetchData });

// Use in a component
const { data, status, error } = wrappedService.fetchData();

Function With Arguments

// Original function with arguments
async function getItem(id: number) {
  // ...fetch item by id
}

// Wrap the function
const wrappedService = useAsyncDataWrapper({ getItem });

// Use in a component with reactive parameter
import { ref } from 'vue';

const id = ref(1);

const { data, status, error } = wrappedService.getItem(() => [id.value]);

// When id.value changes, data is automatically refreshed

---

Options

You can pass options to useAsyncData through the wrapped functions to control their behavior.

Example with Options

const { data, status, error } = wrappedService.fetchData({
  lazy: true,
  server: false,
  default: () => [],
});

Common Options

• lazy: If true, the data fetching is delayed until manually triggered.
• server: Controls whether to fetch data during server-side rendering.
• default: Provides a default value while data is loading.
• watch: Adds additional reactive dependencies.
