tanstack Query
using tanstack query with nuxt is the best approach or should i use nuxt buil-in functions ?

Hi @Viktor. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The knowledge sources do not provide explicit guidance on using TanStack Query (formerly React Query) with Nuxt. However, Nuxt offers its own built-in data fetching composables—useFetch, useAsyncData, and $fetch—which are designed to work seamlessly with Nuxt's SSR, hydration, and payload mechanisms. These composables help prevent double-fetching, manage server/client data transfer, and integrate with Nuxt's Suspense and navigation features, making them the recommended approach for most Nuxt projects Nuxt Data Fetching Docs.
While TanStack Table is used in Nuxt UI for table rendering, there is no mention of TanStack Query being officially supported or recommended for data fetching in Nuxt. If you use TanStack Query, you may lose out on Nuxt-specific optimizations like payload hydration and SSR-safe data transfer.
In summary:
For best integration with Nuxt's SSR and hydration features, it is recommended to use Nuxt's built-in data fetching composables (useFetch, useAsyncData, $fetch) rather than TanStack Query, unless you have a specific use case that requires TanStack Query and are prepared to handle SSR and hydration concerns manually Nuxt Data Fetching Docs. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

and what about cashing and revalidation ?
@kapa.ai and what about cashing and revalidation ?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Nuxt’s built-in data fetching composables—such as useFetch and useAsyncData—provide robust caching and revalidation mechanisms tailored for SSR, SSG, and client-side rendering:
- Caching:
By default, Nuxt caches data fetched with useFetch and useAsyncData using a key (the URL or a custom key). This prevents unnecessary refetching of the same data across server and client, and between navigations. You can control the cache by providing a unique key, using reactive keys for dynamic data, or customizing cache retrieval with the getCachedData option. Cached data is shared across components using the same key, ensuring consistency Minimize payload size: Caching and refetching, Reactive Keys and Shared State. - Revalidation:
You can manually refresh or revalidate data using the refresh or execute functions returned by useFetch/useAsyncData. For global cache invalidation, Nuxt provides utilities like refreshNuxtData and clearNuxtData. You can also set up automatic revalidation by watching reactive sources (e.g., route params) or by using the watch option Refresh and execute. - Advanced Control:
The getCachedData option allows you to implement custom caching strategies, such as time-based cache expiration or conditional revalidation. This function is called every time data is fetched, and you can decide whether to return cached data or trigger a refetch based on the context (e.g., manual refresh, watcher, etc.) Singleton Data Fetching Layer. In summary, Nuxt’s built-in data fetching provides flexible and powerful caching and revalidation out of the box, with options for fine-grained control if needed. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
