# useAsyncData
Within your pages, components, and plugins you can use useAsyncData to get access to data that resolves asynchronously.

[`useAsyncData`](/docs/api/composables/use-async-data) is a composable meant to be called directly in a setup function, plugin, or route middleware. It returns reactive composables and handles adding responses to the Nuxt payload so they can be passed from server to client without re-fetching the data on client side when the page hydrates.
::
## Type
```ts [Signature]
function useAsyncData<DataT, DataE>(
handler: (nuxtApp?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>
): AsyncData<DataT, DataE>
function useAsyncData<DataT, DataE>(
key: string,
handler: (nuxtApp?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>
): Promise<AsyncData<DataT, DataE>
type AsyncDataOptions<DataT> = {
server?: boolean
lazy?: boolean
immediate?: boolean
deep?: boolean
default?: () => DataT | Ref<DataT> | null
transform?: (input: DataT) => DataT
pick?: string[]
watch?: WatchSource[]
getCachedData?: (key: string) => any
}
type AsyncData<DataT, ErrorT> = {
data: Ref<DataT | null>
pending: Ref<boolean>
refresh: (opts?: AsyncDataExecuteOptions) => Promise<void>
execute: (opts?: AsyncDataExecuteOptions) => Promise<void>
error: Ref<ErrorT | null>
status: Ref<AsyncDataRequestStatus>
};
interface AsyncDataExecuteOptions {
dedupe?: boolean
}
type AsyncDataRequestStatus = 'idle' | 'pending' | 'success' | 'error'
```
## Params
2023-07-07 16:24:09 +00:00
* **key**: a unique key to ensure that data fetching can be properly de-duplicated across requests. If you do not provide a key, then a key that is unique to the file name and line number of the instance of [`useAsyncData`](/docs/api/composables/use-async-data) will be generated for you.
* **handler**: an asynchronous function that must return a truthy value (for example, it should not be `undefined` or `null`) or the request may be duplicated on the client side
* **options**:
* _server_: whether to fetch the data on the server (defaults to `true`)
* _lazy_: whether to resolve the async function after loading the route, instead of blocking client-side navigation (defaults to `false`)
* _immediate_: when set to `false`, will prevent the request from firing immediately. (defaults to `true`)
* _default_: a factory function to set the default value of the `data`, before the async function resolves - useful with the `lazy: true` or `immediate: false` option
* _transform_: a function that can be used to alter `handler` function result after resolving
* _pick_: only pick specified keys in this array from the `handler` function result
* _watch_: watch reactive sources to auto-refresh
* _getCachedData_: a function that receives a cache key and can return cached data if it exists (by default it returns `nuxtApp.payload.data[key]` when hydrating and `nuxtApp.static.data[key]` after the app is hydrated). You can use this to build your own custom cache for `useAsyncData`.
* _deep_: return data in a deep ref object (it is `true` by default). It can be set to `false` to return data in a shallow ref object, which can improve performance if your data does not need to be deeply reactive.
Under the hood, `lazy: false` uses `<Suspense>` to block the loading of the route before the data has been fetched. Consider using `lazy: true` and implementing a loading state instead for a snappier user experience.
## Return Values
* **data**: the result of the asynchronous function that is passed in.
* **pending**: a boolean indicating whether the data is still being fetched.
* **refresh**/**execute**: a function that can be used to refresh the data returned by the `handler` function.
* **error**: an error object if the data fetching failed.
* **status**: a string indicating the status of the data request (`"idle"`, `"pending"`, `"success"`, `"error"`).
By default, Nuxt waits until a `refresh` is finished before it can be executed again.

If you have not fetched data on the server (for example, with `server: false`), then the data _will not_ be fetched until hydration completes. This means even if you await [`useAsyncData`](/docs/api/composables/use-async-data) on the client side, `data` will remain `null` within `<script setup>`.
::
## Example
```ts
const { data, pending, error, refresh } = await useAsyncData(
'mountains',
() => $fetch('https://api.nuxtjs.dev/mountains')
)
```
## Example with watching params change
The built-in `watch` option allows automatically rerunning the fetcher function when any changes are detected.
```ts
const page = ref(1)
const { data: posts } = await useAsyncData(
'posts',
() => $fetch('https://fakeApi.com/posts', {
params: {
page: page.value
}
}), {
watch: [page]
}
)
```

[`useAsyncData`](/docs/api/composables/use-async-data) is a reserved function name transformed by the compiler, so you should not name your own function [`useAsyncData`](/docs/api/composables/use-async-data) .
