## Description
By default, [`useFetch`](/docs/api/composables/use-fetch) blocks navigation until its async handler is resolved. `useLazyFetch` provides a wrapper around [`useFetch`](/docs/api/composables/use-fetch) that triggers navigation before the handler is resolved by setting the `lazy` option to `true`.
::note
`useLazyFetch` has the same signature as [`useFetch`](/docs/api/composables/use-fetch).

## Example
```vue [pages/index.vue]
<script setup lang="ts">
/* Navigation will occur before fetching is complete.
* Handle 'pending' and 'error' states directly within your component's template
*/
const { status, data: posts } = await useLazyFetch('/api/posts')
watch(posts, (newPosts) => {
// Because posts might start out null, you won't have access
// to its contents immediately, but you can watch it.
})
</script>
<template>
<div v-if="status === 'pending'">
Loading ...
</div>
<div v-else>
<div v-for="post in posts">
<!-- do something -->
</div>
</div>
</template>
```
::note
`useLazyFetch` is a reserved function name transformed by the compiler, so you should not name your own function `useLazyFetch`.
