💻 TUTORIAL OF THE DAY
Part 2 - Building a Frontend for Screenshot Generation with Nuxt 3
Creating a sleek interface to complement your Puppeteer-powered screenshot API? With Nuxt 3, you can build a dynamic frontend that allows users to input a URL, trigger screenshot generation, and view the results—all in real-time.
The Core Setup
The frontend connects to the backend using an intuitive input form and a responsive button, managed by Nuxt’s reactivity and API handling. Here’s the heart of the logic:
<script setup>
const { $axios } = useNuxtApp(); // Access Nuxt’s axios instance
const backendUrl = `http://localhost:3000/screenshot`; // API endpoint
const previewUrl = ref(''); // User-entered URL
const coverImg = ref(''); // Screenshot result
const isLoading = ref(false); // Loading state
const getSnapshot = async () => {
isLoading.value = true;
try {
const response = await $axios.get(backendUrl, { params: { url: previewUrl.value } });
coverImg.value = response.data.imagePath; // Assuming the backend returns imagePath
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching screenshot:', error);
} finally {
isLoading.value = false;
}
};
</script>
This script:
Captures the user’s input.
Sends the URL to the backend API.
Dynamically updates the image displayed on success.
The Interface
Combine functionality with style by designing a user-friendly layout:
