Asynchronous Data Fetching and Setup in Vue 3 with TypeScript
Vue 3's setup function provides a powerful way to manage component logic and data. This challenge focuses on implementing asynchronous data fetching within the setup function, ensuring proper loading states and error handling for a more robust and user-friendly Vue component. You'll be building a component that fetches data from a mock API and displays it, handling loading and error states gracefully.
Problem Description
You need to create a Vue 3 component using TypeScript that fetches data from a mock API endpoint and displays it. The component should:
- Fetch Data: Use
async/awaitto fetch data fromhttps://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1. - Loading State: Display a loading indicator while the data is being fetched.
- Error Handling: Display an error message if the data fetching fails.
- Data Display: Once the data is successfully fetched, display the
titleproperty of the fetched todo item. - Reactive Data: Use
reffrom Vue to manage the loading state, error state, and the fetched data, ensuring reactivity.
Key Requirements:
- The component must be written in TypeScript.
- The
setupfunction must be used. refmust be used to manage reactive state.- Proper error handling must be implemented.
- The component should display a loading indicator while fetching data.
- The component should display an error message if the fetch fails.
- The component should display the
titleof the fetched todo item upon successful fetch.
Expected Behavior:
- Initially, the component should display a loading indicator.
- After a short delay (simulating network latency), the component should either display the todo title or an error message.
- If the fetch is successful, the component should display "Todo Title: [title]".
- If the fetch fails (e.g., due to a network error), the component should display "Error: [error message]".
Edge Cases to Consider:
- Network errors (e.g., the API endpoint is unavailable).
- Unexpected data format from the API (although this is unlikely with the provided endpoint).
- Handling potential race conditions if the component is re-rendered while the fetch is in progress (though this is less critical for this specific problem).
Examples
Example 1:
Input: A Vue component initialized with no data.
Output: Initially displays a loading indicator. After approximately 1 second, displays "Todo Title: delectus aut autem"
Explanation: The component successfully fetches the data and displays the title.
Example 2:
Input: Simulate a network error (e.g., by mocking the fetch function to throw an error).
Output: Initially displays a loading indicator. After approximately 1 second, displays "Error: Failed to fetch data."
Explanation: The component handles the network error and displays an appropriate error message.
Constraints
- API Endpoint: The API endpoint is fixed:
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1. - Data Format: Assume the API returns a JSON object with a
titleproperty (string). - Time Limit: The solution should be reasonably efficient. While performance isn't a primary concern, avoid unnecessary computations.
- Framework: Vue 3 with TypeScript. Do not use Vue 2 or other frameworks.
Notes
- Consider using a try/catch block to handle potential errors during the data fetching process.
- The loading indicator can be a simple text element or a more sophisticated UI element.
- The error message should be informative and user-friendly.
- Focus on demonstrating the correct use of
async/await,ref, and error handling within thesetupfunction. - You can use a simple
<div>element to display the loading indicator and error message. Styling is not required for this challenge.
