# `useAsyncData`
Within your pages, components, and plugins you can use useAsyncData to get access to data that resolves asynchronously.
::alert{type=warning}
`useAsyncData` 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(
handler: (nuxtApp?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>
): AsyncData<DataT>
function useAsyncData(
key: string,
handler: (nuxtApp?: NuxtApp) => Promise<DataT>,
options?: AsyncDataOptions<DataT>
): Promise<AsyncData<DataT>>
type AsyncDataOptions<DataT> = {
server?: boolean
lazy?: boolean
default?: () => DataT | Ref<DataT> | null
transform?: (input: DataT) => DataT
pick?: string[]
watch?: WatchSource[]
immediate?: boolean
}
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
* **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` will be generated for you.
* **handler**: an asynchronous function that returns a value
* **options**:
* _lazy_: whether to resolve the async function after loading the route, instead of blocking client-side navigation (defaults to `false`)
* _default_: a factory function to set the default value of the data, before the async function resolves - particularly useful with the `lazy: true` option
* _server_: whether to fetch the data on the server (defaults to `true`)
* _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
* _immediate_: When set to `false`, will prevent the request from firing immediately. (defaults to `true`)
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.
::alert{type=warning}
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` 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]
}
)
```
::alert{type=warning}
`useAsyncData` is a reserved function name transformed by the compiler, so you should not name your own function `useAsyncData`.
