PR #2069 attempted to introduce a section in the watcher docs about using
immediate: true
with the Composition API. The new additions were fine, but they posed a problem. The existing section aboutwatchEffect()
is built on the premise that it is the way to create an eager watcher. This no longer made sense when it followed a section aboutimmediate: true
.This PR includes the original 2 commits from #2069, adding docs for
immediate: true
. These are closely based on the existing section aboutimmediate: true
with the Options API.In addition, I've reworked the section about
watchEffect()
to avoid presenting it as just a form of eager watcher. I've changed the main example in that section to something a bit more realistic, though it is still similar to the old example. Most importantly, the previous example wasn't usingimmediate: true
, which doesn't really make sense if we've just introducedimmediate: true
in the previous section. I've also tried to explain the benefits ofwatchEffect()
a bit more explicitly, as I don't think it's obvious just from looking at the example.
