Basic Usage

!TIP📖 Read the documentation

Add this module nuxt-api-party to your Nuxt config and prepare your first API connection by setting an endpoint object with the following properties for the apiParty module option:

// `nuxt.config.ts`
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-api-party'],

  apiParty: {
    endpoints: {
      jsonPlaceholder: {
        url: process.env.JSON_PLACEHOLDER_API_BASE_URL!,
        // Global headers sent with each request
        headers: {
          Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.JSON_PLACEHOLDER_API_TOKEN}`
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

If you were to call your API jsonPlaceholder, the generated composables are:

$jsonPlaceholder – Returns the response data, similar to $fetch
useJsonPlaceholderData – Returns multiple values similar to useFetch

Use these composables in your templates or components:

<script setup lang="ts">
const { data, pending, refresh, error } = await useJsonPlaceholderData('posts/1')
</script>

<template>
  <h1>{{ data?.title }}</h1>
  <pre>{{ JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 2) }}</pre>
</template>
