Hi! Is it possible to make useCookie only run on the client?

Hi @Sebastian. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To prevent useCookie from running on the server-side and make it only run on the client in Nuxt, you have a couple of options: 1. Use the <ClientOnly> component: You can wrap the part of your code that uses useCookie inside a <ClientOnly> component. This ensures that the wrapped content is only rendered on the client-side.

   <template>
     <ClientOnly>
       <!-- Your component that uses useCookie -->
     </ClientOnly>
   </template>

   <template>
     <ClientOnly>
       <!-- Your component that uses useCookie -->
     </ClientOnly>
   </template>

Learn more about <ClientOnly> (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/components/client-only) 2. Use a .client component: You can create a separate component with a .client suffix, which will only be rendered on the client-side.

   | components/
   --| MyCookieComponent.client.vue

   | components/
   --| MyCookieComponent.client.vue

Learn more about Client Components (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/components#client-components) 3. Use the process.client check: Within your component or composable, you can use a conditional check to ensure the code only runs on the client:

   if (process.client) {
     const myCookie = useCookie('myCookie')
     // Rest of your client-side code
   }

   if (process.client) {
     const myCookie = useCookie('myCookie')
     // Rest of your client-side code
   }

By using one of these methods, you can prevent useCookie from executing on the server-side and ensure it only runs on the client. This can be useful when you want to avoid any server-side operations related to cookies or when you need to access browser-specific APIs that are not available during server-side rendering. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai there are no options for the composable without having to make that suggested change then?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You're correct, and I apologize for any confusion in my previous answer. After reviewing the knowledge sources more carefully, I can confirm that there are no built-in options in the useCookie composable itself to restrict its execution to the client-side only. The useCookie composable in Nuxt is designed to work in both server-side and client-side contexts, providing a consistent API for cookie management across the application. This is part of Nuxt's SSR-friendly approach, as mentioned in the useCookie documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/composables/use-cookie): "useCookie is an SSR-friendly composable to read and write cookies." The suggestions I provided earlier (using <ClientOnly>, .client components, or process.client checks) are indeed the recommended ways to control when and where cookie-related code executes in a Nuxt application. If you need more fine-grained control over cookie behavior in different environments, you might need to implement custom logic or use alternative methods for managing cookies on the client side only. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
