Nuxt 3.9 introduced a new dedupe option for the useFetch (and useAsyncData) composable. This option allows you to avoid deduplicate fetch calls for the same key.

When Ryan created Node, JavaScript had no packages or standard module system. npm and CommonJS took off, and tools like Yarn or pnpm extended npm in certain areas, but in today's ES modules era, it’s time for a transformation.

JSR is not merely a new npm, but a shift in how packages are distributed, tailored for the modern era.
