Walkthrough

The Nuxt 3 Vue Query plugin and SSR guide now check for a non-null dehydrated state before calling hydrate on the client.

Changes

Nuxt 3 hydration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard client hydration
examples/vue/nuxt3/plugins/vue-query.ts, docs/framework/vue/guides/ssr.md
The client-side hydration condition now requires vueQueryState.value to be non-null before calling hydrate.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a6dd2

The Nuxt example and guide can still fail client startup when SSR query state is absent because undefined state is not skipped. Use a nullish guard or initialize the state before merging.

🌐 Web query:

site:nuxt.com/docs useState Nuxt 3 initializer optional undefined

💡 Result:

In Nuxt 3 and 4, the initializer function provided to useState is optional [1]. If you do not provide an initializer, the state will be initialized as undefined if the key has not been set previously [1]. When using useState, it is important to understand the following: 1. Initializer Requirements: The initializer must be a function, not a raw value [2]. Passing a non-function value as the initializer will trigger a runtime error (e.g., NUXT_E7007) [2]. 2. Purpose of the Initializer: The initializer function runs only once (on the server) to set the initial value, which is then serialized into the payload for hydration [2]. 3. Optionality: You can define useState with only a key: const state = useState('my-key') // state.value will be undefined if not previously set [1] 4. TypeScript: If you omit the initializer, you may need to explicitly define the type of the state (e.g., useState<string | undefined>('key')) to avoid type errors in your application [1]. If you find that your state is unexpectedly undefined, ensure that the component or composable using it is actually triggering the assignment, or provide a default value via the factory function: const state = useState('my-key', => 'default value') [1]

Guard the Nuxt state before calling hydrate.

In both examples/vue/nuxt3/plugins/vue-query.ts and docs/framework/vue/guides/ssr.md, useState has no initializer, so vueQueryState.value can be undefined when the payload key is absent. !== null still enters the client path. The hydrate re-export then dereferences dehydratedState.mutations, causing a TypeError. Use a nullish guard or initialize useState with () => null in both copies.
