vue3-lazy-hydration

Lazy Hydration of Server-Side Rendered Vue.js v3 Components

Inspired by vue-lazy-hydration, this library brings a renderless component, composables and import wrappers to delay the hydration of pre-rendered HTML.

Installation

Use yarn v1, npm or pnpm package manager to install vue3-lazy-hydration.

# install with yarn
yarn add vue3-lazy-hydration

# install with npm
npm install vue3-lazy-hydration

# install with pnpm
pnpm add vue3-lazy-hydration

Importing Renderless Component

If you want to use the renderless component you can either import it directly inside your Vue SFCs (see examples below) or make it available globally.

Global import for Vue

import { createSSRApp } from 'vue';
import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';

const app = createSSRApp({});

app.component('LazyHydrationWrapper', LazyHydrationWrapper);

// or, you can use a custom registered name:
// use <LazyHydrate> instead of <LazyHydrationWrapper>
app.component('LazyHydrate', LazyHydrationWrapper);

Global import for Nuxt 3

Create a Nuxt 3 plugin inside the plugins directory. The filename doesn't matter as Nuxt auto-imports all top-level files of this directory.

// plugins/lazy-hydration.ts
import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // for custom registered name see Vue example above
  nuxtApp.vueApp.component('LazyHydrationWrapper', LazyHydrationWrapper);
});

Usage

Renderless Component

  • Never hydrate.

    <template>
      <LazyHydrationWrapper @hydrated="onHydrated">
        <!--
          Content never hydrated.
        -->
      </LazyHydrationWrapper>
    </template>
    
    <script setup>
      import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';
    
      function onHydrated() {
        console.log('this function will never be called !');
      }
    </script>
  • Delays hydration until the browser is idle.

    <template>
      <LazyHydrationWrapper :when-idle="4000" @hydrated="onHydrated">
        <!--
        Content hydrated when the browser is idle, or when the timeout
          of 4000ms has elapsed and hydration has not already taken place.
        -->
      </LazyHydrationWrapper>
    </template>
    <script setup>
      import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';
    
      function onHydrated() {
        console.log('content hydrated !');
      }
    </script>
  • Delays hydration until one of the root elements is visible.

    <template>
      <LazyHydrationWrapper
        :when-visible="{ rootMargin: '50px' }"
        @hydrated="onHydrated"
      >
        <!--
        Content hydrated when one of the root elements is visible.
        All root elements are observed with a margin of 50px.
        -->
      </LazyHydrationWrapper>
    </template>
    
    <script setup>
      import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';
    
      function onHydrated() {
        console.log('content hydrated !');
      }
    </script>
  • Delays hydration until one of the elements triggers a DOM event (focus by default).

    <template>
      <LazyHydrationWrapper
        :on-interaction="['click', 'touchstart']"
        @hydrated="onHydrated"
      >
        <!--
        Content hydrated when one of the elements triggers a click or touchstart event.
        -->
      </LazyHydrationWrapper>
    </template>
    
    <script setup>
      import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';
    
      function onHydrated() {
        console.log('content hydrated !');
      }
    </script>
  • Delays hydration until manually triggered.

    <template>
      <button @click="triggerHydration">Trigger hydration</button>
    
      <LazyHydrationWrapper :when-triggered="triggered" @hydrated="onHydrated">
        <!--
        Content hydrated when the above button is clicked.
        -->
      </LazyHydrationWrapper>
    </template>
    
    <script setup>
      import { ref } from 'vue';
      import { LazyHydrationWrapper } from 'vue3-lazy-hydration';
    
      const triggered = ref(false);
    
      function triggerHydration() {
        triggered.value = true;
      }
    
      function onHydrated() {
        console.log('content hydrated !');
      }
    </script>

  // delays hydration until hydrate function is called
  const { willPerformHydration, hydrate, onHydrated, onCleanup } =

  if (willPerformHydration === false) {
    /**
     * The application is actually running at server-side
     * or subsequent navigation occurred at client-side after the first load.
     */

    return;
  }

  // this hook is run when component is hydrated
  // and all its child asynchronous components are resolved
  onHydrated(() => {
