What I learned

I learned how to make API calls in Nuxt from external APIs:

async function getQuote() {
  try {
    const timestamp = new Date().getTime();
    const url = `https://api.adviceslip.com/advice?_=${timestamp}`; // Prevent caching
    const response = await fetch(url);
    const data = await response.json();
    advice.value = data.slip.advice;
    id.value = data.slip.id;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching advice:', error);
  }
}

Useful resources

• Vue docs
• Cool Tailwind video
• The Mozilla references for HTML and CSS are always useful.
