SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

VueUse offers a broad set of composables, but safe usage across SSR and client contexts is easy to get wrong, leading to hydration issues and brittle integrations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSR-safe patterns for browser APIs and VueUse utilities.
  • Client-only and isClient-based usage guidance to prevent browser-only code from running on the server.
  • Element ref handling and Vue 3.5 templates integration using MaybeElementRef and useTemplateRef.
  • Nuxt and ClientOnly integration strategies to ensure smooth hydration and UX.

Quick Start

Review the SSR compatibility rules and apply the client-only and element-ref patterns when integrating VueUse into your Vue 3 project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent VueUse hydration issues in Nuxt SSR?▼

Prevent VueUse hydration issues in Nuxt SSR by applying client-only execution patterns, isClient checks, and clear separation of browser-dependent logic to stop browser APIs from running on the server.

What is the best way to handle element refs with VueUse in Vue 3?▼

The best way to handle element refs with VueUse in Vue 3 is using MaybeElementRef and the useTemplateRef utility. These patterns provide safe template integration and ensure composables correctly target DOM elements during client rendering.

Does VueUse work with Vue 3 server-side rendering setups?▼

Yes, VueUse works with Vue 3 server-side rendering setups when you follow SSR compatibility rules. You must separate browser-dependent logic and use isMounted checks to ensure browser APIs are only accessed during client execution.

Why does my VueUse composable break during server hydration?▼

Your VueUse composable breaks during server hydration when browser-only code runs on the server without proper isClient validation. Applying client-only integration strategies and separating browser-dependent logic prevents these brittle SSR integrations.

How to use VueUse composables safely across SSR and client environments?▼

Use VueUse composables safely across SSR and client environments by enforcing SSR compatibility rules, applying client-only patterns, and utilizing ClientOnly integration strategies to ensure browser APIs execute only when fully mounted.
