F5 reload spends 2 requests available

I don't know if it is the expected behaviour or a bug.

Sadly this is expected behavior at the moment.

Each time you load, reload or update the search parameters, one request is sent to GitHub’s API.

The best we could do is to only spend 1 request to fetch the repository list on load/reload, but due to the way that stats need to be fetched, we need to spend a second request initially.

I’m looking for a way to “cache” these stats at build time and keep them static for upcoming requests, this way, we could fire an update weekly and have decent update time, however, there’s no easy way ATM for this.

Will keep this open, I’m thinking on making the necessary changes for static first loads when Nuxt v3 is released.

Thanks for the heads up!

Quick follow up... It seems that I misconfigured the project... I was hoping to provide a full static (target: 'static') page for initial load, however, the build is serving an SPA...

According to NuxtJS Docs, the ssr config flag prepares the project to be either rendered by a server or by the client entirely.

• If set to false (current value), the project will be configured to render entirely by the client as a SPA, ignoring the target: 'static' configuration if not enforced by a plugin (Like a markdown renderer or something).
• If set to true (going to set this), the project will be configured to render by a server.
  • If ssr: true and target: 'static', then the project will be completely rendered at build time, publishing pure HTML and CSS for static content, and injecting payload for dynamic content (smart!)
  • If ssr: true and target: 'server', then the project will be published as a runtime to execute using NodeJS on a server and render each page on the server whenever a request is received.

So, we are already expecting target: 'static', now the thing is to configure ssr: true and expect full static payloads 🎉.

I was looking for something simple to contribute 😅 , do you have something on your mind?

I have some ideas locally. If you’re free tonight we could spin up a simple pair programming session to further discuss what I got in mind.

PS: Here are my thoughts:

• Extract main logic into hooks.
• Make use of Nuxt’s Static helpers to generate data for first load.
• Read static data from components and setup hooks once rendered on client.

This week I have tons of pending job, what about next week? 😄

Sure thing, I’ll keep trying out, maybe push tonight a new branch with experimental changes
