connection

The connection() function allows you to indicate rendering should wait for an incoming user request before continuing.
It's useful when a component doesn't use Request-time APIs like cookies or headers, but still needs to produce different output per request, such as Math.random() or new Date().
Queries from synchronous database drivers like better-sqlite3 complete during prerendering. If you are not already using Request-time APIs, call connection() before your query to exclude them from prerendering:
Now any component that calls getVisitorCount() will be excluded from prerendering, along with the rest of its output.
