Exclude properties from useFetch
Hey there,
is it possible to exclude some properties when using useFetch? I've seen the
transform-function and the pick-function. With the former it would be possible, however the property is still transfered for the server but only ommited for the client.
Is there something similar like pick to omit the property on the server request aswell?2 Replies

No, there is currently no built-in option in Nuxt’s

useFetch to exclude properties from the server response itself. Both the pick and transform options only affect the data that is included in the Nuxt payload sent from server to client—they do not prevent the unwanted properties from being fetched from the API in the first place. The full response is always fetched from the server, and only then are the selected fields included in the payload for hydration on the client.
To truly exclude properties at the source (i.e., to avoid fetching them from the server), you would need to modify the API endpoint itself to only return the desired fields, or use query parameters (if your API supports it) to limit the response.
In summary:-
pick and transform minimize the payload size sent to the client, but do not affect what is fetched from the server.
