Hi 👋

There's still time to win 1 VueSchool Lifetime License and 1 Mastering Nuxt 3 License — check out the details below! 🎉

I'm also making steady progress on my Nuxt SaaS Starter Kit. It's a big project and based on Nuxt UI Pro v3. Since v3 is currently in alpha and still missing some components, the release is on hold until everything's ready. Stay tuned for updates!

Enjoy this issue and have a lovely week ☀️

💡 Nuxt Tip: Parallel Fetch Requests

When you're working with Nuxt, you might find yourself in a situation where you need to fetch multiple pieces of data from different endpoints.

If you fetch the data sequentially, it can slow down the loading time of your application. Fetching the data in parallel can help you load the data faster and improve the performance of your application.

Let's say you have two API endpoints that you need to fetch data from and you need to await both requests before rendering the page. Here's how you might do it:

1<script setup lang="ts">
2  const { data: userData } = await useFetch('/api/user');
3  const { data: bookingData } = await useFetch('/api/booking');
4</script>

In this example, Nuxt will fetch the user data first and then the booking data. If the user data takes a long time to load, it will delay the booking data from loading as well.

To fetch data in parallel, you can use Promise.all()Promise.all() along with the useAsyncDatauseAsyncData composable provided by Nuxt:

1<script setup lang="ts">
2const { data } = await useAsyncData(() => {
3  return Promise.all([
4    $fetch('/api/user'),
5    $fetch('/api/booking'),
6  ])
7});
8</script>

By fetching the data in parallel, you can load the user and posts data simultaneously, which can significantly reduce the time it takes to load the page.
