There are times when I am on the "ActorDetails.vue" page/component, and after refreshing my browser a few times, I notice that the data in my actorsData prop (which should contain an array of 5 objects) becomes an empty array. Initially, I thought it was an issue with the API, but upon logging the data inside "App.js," I found that the data does exist. I'm struggling to pinpoint where the problem lies. Interestingly, when I refresh the browser on the "ActorsList.vue" page/component, the prop data always remains intact.
It's worth noting that both pages/components ("ActorList.vue" and "ActorDetails.vue") retrieve the topActors data from "App.vue."
