How to implement server-side rendering (SSR) with Nuxt.js?

To implement server-side rendering (SSR) with Nuxt.js, follow these steps:

  1. Start by installing Nuxt.js globally on your machine:
$ npm install -g create-nuxt-app
  1. Create a new Nuxt.js project by running the following command:
$ create-nuxt-app my-app
  1. Answer the prompts to configure your project. Choose "Server-side rendering (SSR)" as the rendering mode.

  2. Once the project is created, navigate into the project directory:

$ cd my-app
  1. To enable server-side rendering, open nuxt.config.js in a code editor and make sure ssr: true is set:
export default { ssr: true }
  1. Write your application by creating Vue components in the pages directory. Each component will represent a route in your application.

  2. To fetch data from an external API or server, use the asyncData method in your component. This method is called on the server-side during rendering:

export default { async asyncData({ $axios }) { const response = await $axios.get('https://api.example.com/data') return { data: response.data } } }
  1. To use the fetched data in your component, access it in the data property:
<template> <div> <h1>{{ data.title }}</h1> <p>{{ data.description }}</p> </div> </template> <script> export default { async asyncData({ $axios }) { const response = await $axios.get('https://api.example.com/data') return { data: response.data } } } </script>
  1. Build and start your application:
$ npm run build $ npm start
  1. Your application is now server-side rendered! Access it at http://localhost:3000.

With these steps, you have successfully implemented server-side rendering with Nuxt.js!
