swrv is a Vue Composition API library for remote data fetching using the stale-while-revalidate caching strategy. It serves cached data immediately, revalidates in the background, and provides features like polling, revalidation on focus, request deduplication, and error retry.

Use cases

• fetch remote data in Vue components with automatic caching
• show stale data instantly while revalidating in the background
• poll an API at intervals to keep the UI up to date
• deduplicate duplicate in-flight requests across components
• refetch data when the window regains focus
• retry failed requests with stale-if-error fallback
• plug in a custom cache like localStorage

When to avoid

• you need SSR support, which was removed as of version 0.10.0
• your project uses React (use the swr library instead)
• you need a full state management solution rather than a data-fetching hook
• you're on Vue 2.6 or below and can't use an older release
