Basic Usage

Tip

📖 Read the documentation

Add the 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, refresh, error, status, clear } = await useJsonPlaceholderData('posts/1')
</script>

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

Tip

You can connect as many APIs as you want, just add them to the endpoints object.
