# tRPC-Nuxt
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/trpc-nuxt)
End-to-end typesafe APIs with [tRPC.io](https://trpc.io/) in Nuxt applications.
The client above is not importing any code from the server, only its type declarations.
## Install
```bash
npm i trpc-nuxt
```
```ts
// nuxt.config.ts
import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'
export default defineNuxtConfig({
modules: ['trpc-nuxt'],
trpc: {
baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000', // defaults to http://localhost:3000
endpoint: '/trpc', // defaults to /trpc
},
typescript: {
strict: true // required to make input/output types work
}
})
```
## Usage
Expose your tRPC [routes](https://trpc.io/docs/router) under `~/server/trpc/index.ts`:
```ts
// ~/server/trpc/index.ts
import type { inferAsyncReturnType } from '@trpc/server'
import * as trpc from '@trpc/server'
import { z } from 'zod' // yup/superstruct/zod/myzod/custom
export const router = trpc.router()
// queries and mutations...
.query('getUsers', {
async resolve(req) {
// use your ORM of choice
return await UserModel.all()
},
})
.mutation('createUser', {
// validate input with Zod
input: z.object({ name: z.string().min(5) }),
async resolve(req) {
// use your ORM of choice
return await UserModel.create({
data: req.input,
})
},
})
```
Use the client like so:
```ts
const client = useClient() // auto-imported
const users = await client.query('getUsers')
const newUser = await client.mutation('createUser', {
name: 'wagmi'
})
```
## useAsyncQuery
A thin wrapper around [`useAsyncData`](https://v3.nuxtjs.org/api/composables/use-async-data/) and `client.query()`.
The first argument is a `[path, input]`-tuple - if the `input` is optional, you can omit the, `input`-part.
You'll notice that you get autocompletion on the `path` and automatic typesafety on the `input`.
```ts
const {
data,
pending,
error,
refresh
} = await useAsyncQuery(['getUser', { id: 69 }], {
// pass useAsyncData options here
lazy: false
})
```
## useClientHeaders
A composable that lets you add additional properties to pass to the tRPC Client. It uses `useStorage` from [@vueuse/core](https://vueuse.org/core/usestorage).
```ts
const headers = useClientHeaders()
const { data: token } = await useAsyncQuery(['auth.login', { username, password }])
headers.value.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`
// All client calls will now include the Authorization header.
```
## Options
trpc-nuxt accepts the following options exposed under `~/server/trpc/index.ts`:
```ts
import * as trpc from '@trpc/server'
import type { inferAsyncReturnType } from '@trpc/server'
import type { CompatibilityEvent } from 'h3'
import type { OnErrorPayload } from 'trpc-nuxt/api'
export const router = trpc.router>()
// Optional
// https://trpc.io/docs/context
export const createContext = (event: CompatibilityEvent) => {
// ...
return {
/** context data */
}
}
// Optional
// https://trpc.io/docs/caching#using-responsemeta--to-cache-responses
export const responseMeta = () => {
// ...
return {
// { headers: ... }
}
}
// Optional
// https://trpc.io/docs/error-handling#handling-errors
export const onError = (payload: OnErrorPayload) => {
// Do whatever here like send to bug reporting and stuff
}
```
