fetchOnServer control: Set fetchOnServer value to control data rendering on the server side.
Error handling: Find a way to handle errors from the fetch hook.

Summary:

This article demonstrates the capabilities of NuxtJS's new fetch() method by building a Dev.to clone. It covers various techniques such as using $fetchState for placeholder display, caching API requests with keep-alive and activated hook, reusing the fetch hook with this.$fetch(), controlling data rendering on the server side with fetchOnServer, and handling errors from the fetch hook. By following the step-by-step instructions, developers can learn how to implement these features in their own applications.
