I want my Nuxtjs store state (ssr: false, so no nuxtServerInit) with data when a user starts the application.
The goal is to make a date calculation on startup and store the answer on nuxtjs store, so when I need this information I do not need to recalculate again everytime (this information will be used on many pages).
Can this be done?
You can write a small plugin which will run on startup and can call a store action for you, similar to nuxtServerInit.
// ~/plugins/nuxtClientInit.js
export default async function (context) {
await context.store.dispatch('nuxtClientInit', context)
}
Then simply add it to your nuxt.config.js.
...
plugins: [
{ src: '~/plugins/nuxtClientInit.js', mode: 'client' }
],
...
Now the nuxtClientInit store action will be called at startup, you can even access the context object.
actions: {
nuxtClientInit ({ commit }, context) {
// commit(...)
}
}
