I have been working with Nuxt.js and came across a term called ServerPlaceholder, but I am not entirely sure what it refers to. I couldn't find any official documentation or references to this term in the Nuxt.js documentation or other resources.

Could anyone please explain what ServerPlaceholder is in the context of Nuxt.js (or web development in general)? How is it used, and what is its purpose? Is it related to server-side rendering (SSR) or perhaps data fetching mechanisms?

Any examples or clarifications would be highly appreciated!

Thank you!

It's the preload when we are starting the dev server?

ServerPlaceholder is the actual placeholder that is used on server side when ClientOnly is used, as the name suggests.

It's a detail of the internals that doesn't show up under normal circumstances and doesn't affect how a developer works with the framework. This is the reason it's not documented or described anywhere.

Thank you for your explanation! Just to confirm, it acts as a placeholder when I use prerender, and then that component is rendered later on the client side, right?
Yes. More specifically, both prerender (ssg) and server render (ssr)
