How can I optimize API calls in my Vue application?

You can optimize API calls in Vue by using techniques like debouncing, caching responses, and lazy loading data.

What is debouncing and how does it help with API calls?

Debouncing is a technique that limits the rate at which a function is executed. For API calls, it helps prevent sending too many requests in a short time, especially during user input.

Can you give me an example of implementing caching?

Sure! You can use Vuex to store API responses and check the store before making a new request. If the data is already in the store, use it instead of calling the API again.

What about lazy loading? How does that work?

Lazy loading involves loading data only when it's needed. For example, you can fetch data when a component is mounted or when a user scrolls to a certain part of the page.
