Resolves #518.

📚 Description

After updating the nuxt/icon up from @2.3.1 the icons fail to render if app uses SSR. For ex:

 WARN  [Icon] failed to load icon lucide:sun 

Related issue describes the core regression correctly.

Solution

The simple priority logic to pick correcrt fetch was added to resolve both initial issue #514 (where regression appeared) and remove that regression.

Here's the logic behind the prioritization:

  1. Pick event.fetch if it is available as the most "context-rich": relative Nitro routes, preserving request’s headers and context, base URL, etc.
  2. Pick useRequestFetch().native if it is available. Used in browser (or future Nuxt 5) and keeping fix by fix: avoid relying on global fetch #514.
    Here's the regression, as Nuxt 4/Nitro 2 useRequestFetch() doesn't expose .native.
  3. Pick globalThis.$fetch.native as the Nuxt 4/Nitro 2 SSR compatibility path.
  4. Pick globalThis.fetch as the final safety net.

I also added fixture, expanded smoke and wrote regression tests.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime plugin configures Iconify with a request-aware fetch chain and uses it for custom icon loading. A Nuxt SSR fixture renders the ph:acorn-bold icon with server bundling and disabled API fallback. SSR tests and Nuxt playground assertions verify HTTP success, rendered Iconify markup, embedded SVG data, and the absence of icon-loading errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 13c45

The SSR adapter can share request-specific context between concurrent users and may bypass server routing in supported fallback environments, causing incorrect requests, leaked request metadata, or missing icons. These correctness and availability risks should be fixed before merging.

I think this branch never actually runs, iconify does its fetching from a setTimeout so by the time this callback fires tryUseNuxtApp() returns undefined and it always ends up on globalThis.$fetch.native. What worked for me is grabbing the event at setup instead:

const event = import.meta.server ? useRequestEvent() : undefined

_api.setFetch(
  event?.fetch
  || requestFetch.native
  || globalThis.$fetch?.native
  || globalThis.fetch,
)

Hey! Thank you for a review!

I double checked and yes, you are correct that it is a dead branch. On the other hand I think your setup grab theoritically can create another issue.

As the _api.setFetch() writes to Iconify's module-level variable the scheduled processes might call wrong event.fetch:

let fetchModule

function setFetch(fetch) {
  fetchModule = fetch
}

Consider the case:

  1. Request A runs plugin setup and installs eventA.fetch. Iconify schedules A's icon request with setTimeout
  2. Request B runs plugin setup and installs eventB.fetch
  3. A's timer executes, but Iconify now calls eventB.fetch instead of correct eventA.fetch

While it would work in the most cases, it can forward wrong cookies, headers, middleware's context, etc.

I may be wrong though - I'm not proficient in nuxt codebases, so I would listen to your recommendations, but I thought that this should be mentioned before continuing.

If this is an issue though, I guess correct approach is just remove the event lookup and use native, as I haven't find approach how can we safely get event.fetch without changing Iconify's fetch module configuration.

Am I right to consider this an issue?

@benjamincanac I have removed the dead code for now. Will wait for clarification on comment above.

40-40: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not capture request-scoped fetch in the shared Iconify loader.

setCustomIconsLoader stores the loader by prefix in shared storage. Iconify invokes it from a later queue tick. Concurrent SSR requests can overwrite the loader, causing one request to use another request’s requestFetch, event context, or headers. Use a context-independent loader or per-request dispatch mechanism. Add a concurrent SSR regression test.

Route root-relative SSR requests through Nitro.

When requestFetch.native is unavailable, lines 14–18 select raw native fetch functions. These functions do not route /api/_nuxt_icon/... through Nitro. Use a Nitro-aware adapter that returns a Response, then add an SSR test for Nuxt 4.5.2/Nitro 2.13.4 with no native request fetch.

SSR: _api.setFetch($fetch.native) disables icon loading entirely — useRequestFetch() returns Nitro's event.$fetch, which has no .native
