Getting started

$ npm install nuxt --save

Add a script to your package.json like this:

{
"scripts": {
"start": "nuxt"
}
}

After that, the file-system is the main API. Every .vue file becomes a route that gets automatically processed and rendered.

Populate ./pages/index.vue inside your project:

<template><h1>Hello {{ name }}!</h1></template><script>exportdefault{data: ()=>{return{name: 'world'}}}</script>

And then run:

npm start

Go to http://localhost:3000

Templates

👉 We recommend to start directly with our cli create-nuxt-app for the latest updates.

Or you can start by using one of our starter templates:

• starter: Basic Nuxt.js project template
• express: Nuxt.js + Express
• koa: Nuxt.js + Koa
• adonuxt: Nuxt.js + AdonisJS
• micro: Nuxt.js + Micro
• nuxtent: Nuxt.js + Nuxtent module for content heavy sites

Using nuxt.js programmatically

const{ Nuxt, Builder }=require('nuxt')// Import and set nuxt.js optionsletconfig=require('./nuxt.config.js')config.dev=(process.env.NODE_ENV!=='production')letnuxt=newNuxt(config)// Start build process (only in development)if(config.dev){newBuilder(nuxt).build()}// You can use nuxt.render(req, res) or nuxt.renderRoute(route, context)

Using nuxt.js as a middleware

You might want to use your own server with you configurations, your API and everything awesome your created with. That's why you can use nuxt.js as a middleware. It's recommended to use it at the end of your middleware since it will handle the rendering of your web application and won't call next().

app.use(nuxt.render)

Render a specific route

This is mostly used for nuxt generate and test purposes but you might find another utility!

nuxt.renderRoute('/about',context).then(function({ html, error }){// You can check error to know if your app displayed the error page for this route// Useful to set the correct status code if an error appended:if(error){returnres.status(error.statusCode||500).send(html)}res.send(html)}).catch(function(error){// And error appended while rendering the route})

Examples

Please take a look at https://nuxtjs.org/examples or directly in https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/tree/dev/examples.

Production deployment

To deploy, instead of running nuxt, you probably want to build ahead of time. Therefore, building and starting are separate commands:

nuxt build
nuxt start

For example, to deploy with now a package.json like follows is recommended:

{
"name": "my-app",
"dependencies": {
"nuxt": "latest"
},
"scripts": {
"dev": "nuxt",
"build": "nuxt build",
"start": "nuxt start"
}
}

Then run now and enjoy!

Note: we recommend putting .nuxt in .npmignore or .gitignore.
