Accessing headers when using $fetch

Is it possible to access the raw response to get the headers using $fetch?

Hi @bnason. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base.

Yes, it is possible to access the raw response to get the headers when using

$fetch

$fetch

in Nuxt. You can do this by using the method. Here's how you can access the headers:

The method returns the full response object, which includes the headers, status, and other metadata along with the response data.

This functionality is mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on Data Fetching:

Nuxt includes the ofetch library, and is auto-imported as the
$fetch
$fetch
alias globally across your application.

The ofetch library, which

$fetch

$fetch

is based on, provides this capability to access the raw response.

It's worth noting that when you use , you'll need to access the response data using instead of getting it directly from the response.

If you're specifically interested in forwarding headers in server-side requests, you might also want to check out the

useRequestFetch

useRequestFetch

composable, which automatically forwards request headers in server-side fetch requests.

@kapa.ai If I pass a function to to parseResponse option, how do I access that data?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment!

To answer your question about accessing data when using a custom function with

$fetch

$fetch

useFetch

useFetch

in Nuxt, I'll need to provide some clarification and context based on the available information in the knowledge sources.

The knowledge sources provided don't contain specific information about a option for

$fetch

$fetch

useFetch

useFetch

in Nuxt. This option is not a standard feature of Nuxt's built-in fetch utilities as described in the documentation.

However, Nuxt's

useFetch

useFetch

and

$fetch

$fetch

are based on the library, which might have additional options not explicitly covered in the Nuxt documentation. If you're using a custom function, it would typically be used to transform the response before it's returned.

Based on the standard behavior of

useFetch

useFetch

in Nuxt, you would typically access the data like this:

If you've used a custom function, the

data

data

would contain the result of that parsing function.

For a more accurate and detailed answer specific to using a option, you might need to consult the library documentation or provide more context about how you're implementing this custom parsing.

If you're working with a custom implementation or a different version of Nuxt that includes this feature, please provide more details so I can give you a more accurate answer.

@kapa.ai no i mean when I use I need to get the value returned from parseResponse. Is that in the response._data key?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You're correct to ask about the specific behavior when using with a custom function. Let me clarify based on the information available in the knowledge sources.

The Nuxt documentation doesn't explicitly cover this specific use case with and a custom function. However, based on the general behavior of

$fetch

$fetch

and

useFetch

useFetch

in Nuxt, we can infer the following:

When using , the response is typically accessed through the property. This is mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on Data Fetching:

Given this information, it's likely that the result of your custom function would indeed be available in the property of the response. So, you should be able to access it like this:

However, I must emphasize that this is an educated guess based on the available information. The Nuxt documentation doesn't provide explicit details about how custom functions interact with .

For the most accurate information, you might want to test this in your Nuxt environment or consult the underlying library documentation, as Nuxt's

$fetch

$fetch

is based on .
