Nuxt.js: Implementation of nuxtClientInit Action

[potato4d]

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently, Nuxt.js does not have a way to create actions to be done only on the client.
It is possible to implement it using plugins and middleware, but it will be implemented with a different interface from nuxtServerInit.

Also, in SPA mode there is no equivalent of nuxtServerInit.

In order to solve this problem, I would like to add nuxtServerInit for clients.

What does the proposed changes look like?

I implemented it as a module of Nuxt.js. However, I want Nuxt.js core to have nuxtClientInit.

Although it was written that it is advancing the implementation before, is there any plan to implement it?

If possible, I would like to collaborate on implementation.

I really would like to see this as a core functionality of Nuxt.
Imo the most elegant solution would be something like nuxtInit (or storeInit or something) that is run on either client or server depending on universal/spa mode. (but it would not run twice).
