@nuxt/kit is a toolkit for developing Nuxt modules and extending the Nuxt framework. It provides utilities and helpers to streamline the process of creating and managing Nuxt modules, making it easier to integrate custom functionality into Nuxt applications.
Define Nuxt Module
This feature allows you to define a Nuxt module with metadata, default options, and a setup function. The setup function is where you can add your custom logic to extend Nuxt's functionality.
export default defineNuxtModule({
meta: {
name: 'my-module',
configKey: 'myModule'
},
defaults: {
option: true
},
setup (options, nuxt) {
// Module setup code here
}
})Add Plugin
This feature allows you to add a plugin to your Nuxt application. The `addPlugin` function is used to specify the path to the plugin file, which will be included in the Nuxt build process.
import { addPlugin } from '@nuxt/kit'
export default defineNuxtModule({
setup (options, nuxt) {
addPlugin({ src: resolve(__dirname, 'plugin.js') })
}
})Extend Webpack Config
This feature allows you to extend the Webpack configuration used by Nuxt. The `extendWebpackConfig` function provides access to the existing Webpack config, which you can modify to include custom rules, plugins, or other settings.
import { extendWebpackConfig } from '@nuxt/kit'
export default defineNuxtModule({
setup (options, nuxt) {
extendWebpackConfig(config => {
config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.custom$/,
loader: 'custom-loader'
})
})
}
})Nuxt is the main framework for creating Vue.js applications with server-side rendering, static site generation, and more. While @nuxt/kit is focused on module development, Nuxt itself provides the core functionality for building and running Nuxt applications.
Webpack is a module bundler for JavaScript applications. While @nuxt/kit provides utilities for extending Nuxt's Webpack configuration, Webpack itself is the underlying tool that handles the bundling and optimization of application assets.
Nuxt is a free and open-source framework with an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web applications and websites with Vue.js.
It provides a number of features that make it easy to build fast, SEO-friendly, and scalable web applications, including:
Use the following command to create a new starter project. This will create a starter project with all the necessary files and dependencies:
npx nuxi@latest init <my-project>
[!TIP] Discover also nuxt.new: Open a Nuxt starter on CodeSandbox, StackBlitz or locally to get up and running in a few seconds.
Simple, intuitive and powerful, Nuxt lets you write Vue components in a way that makes sense. Every repetitive task is automated, so you can focus on writing your full-stack Vue application with confidence.
Example of an app.vue:
<script setup lang="ts">
useSeoMeta({
title: 'Meet Nuxt',
description: 'The Intuitive Vue Framework.'
})
</script>
<template>
<div id="app">
<AppHeader />
<NuxtPage />
<AppFooter />
</div>
</template>
<style scoped>
#app {
background-color: #020420;
color: #00DC82;
}
</style>
