Security is a topic that is often overlooked in the frontend world. But at least for you all - no longer! To make sure we cover Security for Vue and Nuxt applications as broad as possible, Michael and Alex are joined by Jakub Andrzejewski, who is not only a Senior Frontend Developer but also author of the Nuxt Security Module. We cover not only the module but also how to avoid common security mistakes as a Vue developer and how to protect your applications from vulnerabilities, and which are the most common ones. Of course, we can't miss out on the State of Vue.js Survey, which is currently running and was co-created by Jakub as well! Besides talking about the Security and the State of Vue.js, we also discuss how Jakub got into Vue.js at first and how he perceived the transition to Vue 3 and the Composition API. Enjoy the episode!

That includes not always showing an error page, but also handling errors request-based or component-based!

Data fetching is a crucial part of any web application. In this episode of DejaVue, we discuss the different ways to fetch data in Vue.js and Nuxt.js, and how to cache it.  We also talk about the experimental Suspense feature in Vue.js and how it can be used to improve the user experience, as well as how to handle third-party scripts in your application. In addition, Nuxt's data fetching options are discussed, including the $fetch method, useFetch, useAsyncData and the useNuxtData composable. Finally, we cover server-side caching in Nuxt.js, including route rules, defineCachedEventHandler, and defineCachedFunction.
