Add a hook which is passed context for testing the state data passed from server to client

[38elements]

What problem does this feature solve?

I want to test the state data passed from server to client.
This resolve this by adding a hook to get context.nuxt.

What does the proposed changes look like?

https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/blob/8feeeb0cfe4345e47f561198272ded6926d8d2b8/lib/core/renderer.js#L355-L361

↓

    const serializedSession = `window.__NUXT__=${serialize(context.nuxt, {
      isJSON: true
    })};`

    await this.nuxt.callHook('render:passingData', context.nuxt)

    const cspScriptSrcHashes = []
    if (this.options.render.csp && this.options.render.csp.enabled) {

Usage

const { Nuxt, Builder } = require('nuxt')
const config = require('./nuxt.config.js')
config.dev = false
const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)
nuxt.hook('render:passingData', (passingData) => {console.dir(passingData)})
new Builder(nuxt)
.build()
.then(() => nuxt.renderRoute('/'))
.then(({ html, error, redirected }) => {
})

Hi @38elements

I like this idea, I'm not found of passingData, why not calling it render:context (cc @pi0 @clarkdo)

I love this idea too! Indeed we can do many more things than just for testing. Also, render:context hook seems more clear :)

[Atinux]

Why not calling it before serializedSession so it gives the opportunity to modules to extend the data sent back (even if we have beforeNuxtRender method already)?

[clarkdo]

It's indeed a good proposal, I aggree with @Atinux 's opinion, I can try to add it this evening.

Could this help to overcome such persisted vuex issues?

[38elements]

Thank you for reply.

I think render:context is better.

This is very good idea.
This creates many possibilities.
For example, This makes it possible to test only for client side by setting context data at the render:context hook.

I am sorry.
I misunderstood about nuxt.renderRoute().
