Async data with Nuxt.js

data(context)

Nuxt.js supercharges the data method from vue.js to let you handle async operation before setting the real component data.

data is called every time before loading the component (only if attached to a route). It can be called from the server-side or before navigating to the corresponding route.

The data method receives the context as the first argument, you can use it to fetch some data and return the component data. To make the data method asynchronous, return a Promise, nuxt.js will wait for the promise to be resolved before rendering the Component.

For example:

export default {
  data ({ params }) {
    return axios.get(`http://my-api/posts/${params.id}`)
    .then((res) => {
      return { title: res.data.title }
    })
  }
}

And then, you can display the data inside your template:

<template>
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
</template>
