@nx/nuxt:application

Create a Nuxt Application for Nx.

Your new Nuxt application will be generated with the following directory structure, following the suggested directory structure for Nuxt applications:

1my-nuxt-app 2├── nuxt.config.ts 3├── project.json 4├── src 5│   ├── app.vue 6│   ├── assets 7│   │   └── css 8│   │   └── styles.css 9│   ├── components 10│   │   └── NxWelcome.vue 11│   ├── pages 12│   │   ├── about.vue 13│   │   └── index.vue 14│   ├── public 15│   │   └── favicon.ico 16│   └── server 17│   ├── api 18│   │   └── greet.ts 19│   └── tsconfig.json 20├── tsconfig.app.json 21├── tsconfig.json 22├── tsconfig.spec.json 23└── vitest.config.ts 24

Your new app will contain the following:

  • Two pages (home and about) under pages
  • A component (NxWelcome) under components
  • A greet API endpoint that returns a JSON response under /api/greet
  • Configuration for vitest
  • Your app's entrypoint (app.vue) will contain the navigation links to the home and about pages, and the nuxt-page component to display the contents of your pages.

Examples

Directory Flag Behavior Changes

The command below uses the as-provided directory flag behavior, which is the default in Nx 16.8.0. If you're on an earlier version of Nx or using the derived option, use --directory=nested. See the as-provided vs. derived documentation for more details.

nx g @nx/nuxt:app =apps/nested/myapp

Generate pages and components

You can use the the @nx/vue:component generator to generate new pages and components for your application. You can read more on the @nx/vue:component generator documentation page, but here are some examples:

nx g @nx/nuxt:component my-app/src/pages/my-page

Usage

1nx generate application ... 2
1nx g app ... #same 2

By default, Nx will search for application in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/nuxt:application ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g application ... --dry-run 2
