You can also use a function to conditionally transpile. The function will receive an object ({ isDev, isServer, isClient, isModern, isLegacy }).
- Type:
array
Example:
transpile: [({ isLegacy }) => isLegacy && 'ky']
buildDir
Define the directory where your built Nuxt files will be placed.
Many tools assume that .nuxt
is a hidden directory (because it starts with a .
). If that is a problem, you can use this option to prevent that.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"/<rootDir>/.nuxt"
Example:
export default {
buildDir: 'nuxt-build'
}
buildId
A unique identifier matching the build. This may contain the hash of the current state of the project.

builder
The builder to use for bundling the Vue part of your application.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"@nuxt/vite-builder"
compatibilityDate
Specify a compatibility date for your app.
This is used to control the behavior of presets in Nitro, Nuxt Image and other modules that may change behavior without a major version bump. We plan to improve the tooling around this feature in the future.
components
Configure Nuxt component auto-registration.
Any components in the directories configured here can be used throughout your pages, layouts (and other components) without needing to explicitly import them.
- Type:
object
- Default
{
"dirs": [
{
"path": "~/components/global",
"global": true
},
"~/components"
]
}
See: components/
directory documentation
css
You can define the CSS files/modules/libraries you want to set globally (included in every page).
Nuxt will automatically guess the file type by its extension and use the appropriate pre-processor. You will still need to install the required loader if you need to use them.
- Type:
array
Example:
css: [
// Load a Node.js module directly (here it's a Sass file).
'bulma',
// CSS file in the project
'~/assets/css/main.css',
// SCSS file in the project
'~/assets/css/main.scss'
]

Nitro development-only server handlers.
- Type:
array
See: Nitro server routes documentation

- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true

This allows specifying the default options for core Nuxt components and composables.
These options will likely be moved elsewhere in the future, such as into app.config
or into the app/
directory.
nuxtLink

string
- Default:
"null"
value
- Type:
string
- Default:
"null"
useFetch
emitRouteChunkError
Emit app:chunkError
hook when there is an error loading vite/webpack chunks.
By default, Nuxt will also perform a reload of the new route when a chunk fails to load when navigating to a new route (automatic
).
Setting automatic-immediate
will lead Nuxt to perform a reload of the current route right when a chunk fails to load (instead of waiting for navigation).
You can disable automatic handling by setting this to false
, or handle chunk errors manually by setting it to manual
.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"automatic"
See: Nuxt PR #19038
externalVue
Externalize vue
, @vue/*
and vue-router
when building.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
See: Nuxt Issue #13632
headNext
Use new experimental head optimisations:
- Add the capo.js head plugin in order to render tags in of the head in a more performant way. - Uses the hash hydration plugin to reduce initial hydration
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
inlineRouteRules
Allow defining routeRules
directly within your ~/pages
directory using defineRouteRules
.
Rules are converted (based on the path) and applied for server requests. For example, a rule defined in ~/pages/foo/bar.vue
will be applied to /foo/bar
requests. A rule in ~/pages/foo/[id].vue
will be applied to /foo/**
requests.
For more control, such as if you are using a custom path
or alias
set in the page's definePageMeta
, you should set routeRules
directly within your nuxt.config
.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
localLayerAliases
Resolve ~
, ~~
, @
and @@
aliases located within layers with respect to their layer source and root directories.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
navigationRepaint
Wait for a single animation frame before navigation, which gives an opportunity for the browser to repaint, acknowledging user interaction.
It can reduce INP when navigating on prerendered routes.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
noVueServer
Disable vue server renderer endpoint within nitro.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
normalizeComponentNames
Ensure that auto-generated Vue component names match the full component name you would use to auto-import the component.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
payloadExtraction
When this option is enabled (by default) payload of pages that are prerendered are extracted
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
polyfillVueUseHead
Whether or not to add a compatibility layer for modules, plugins or user code relying on the old @vueuse/head
API.
This is disabled to reduce the client-side bundle by ~0.5kb.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
relativeWatchPaths
Whether to provide relative paths in the builder:watch
hook.
This flag will be removed with the release of v4 and exists only for advance testing within Nuxt v3.12+ or in the nightly release channel.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
renderJsonPayloads
Render JSON payloads with support for revivifying complex types.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
resetAsyncDataToUndefined
Whether clear
and clearNuxtData
should reset async data to its default value or update it to null
/undefined
.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
respectNoSSRHeader
Allow disabling Nuxt SSR responses by setting the x-nuxt-no-ssr
header.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
restoreState
Whether to restore Nuxt app state from sessionStorage
when reloading the page after a chunk error or manual reloadNuxtApp()
call.
To avoid hydration errors, it will be applied only after the Vue app has been mounted, meaning there may be a flicker on initial load.
Consider carefully before enabling this as it can cause unexpected behavior, and consider providing explicit keys to useState
as auto-generated keys may not match across builds.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
scanPageMeta
Allow exposing some route metadata defined in definePageMeta
at build-time to modules (alias, name, path, redirect).
This only works with static or strings/arrays rather than variables or conditional assignment.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
See: Nuxt Issues #24770
sharedPrerenderData
Automatically share payload data between pages that are prerendered. This can result in a significant performance improvement when prerendering sites that use useAsyncData
or useFetch
and fetch the same data in different pages.
It is particularly important when enabling this feature to make sure that any unique key of your data is always resolvable to the same data. For example, if you are using useAsyncData
to fetch data related to a particular page, you should provide a key that uniquely matches that data. (useFetch
should do this automatically for you.)
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
Example:
// This would be unsafe in a dynamic page (e.g. `[slug].vue`) because the route slug makes a difference
// to the data fetched, but Nuxt can't know that because it's not reflected in the key.
const route = useRoute()
const { data } = await useAsyncData(async () => {
return await $fetch(`/api/my-page/${route.params.slug}`)
})
// Instead, you should use a key that uniquely identifies the data fetched.
const { data } = await useAsyncData(route.params.slug, async () => {
return await $fetch(`/api/my-page/${route.params.slug}`)
})
templateRouteInjection
By default the route object returned by the auto-imported useRoute()
composable is kept in sync with the current page in view in <NuxtPage>
. This is not true for vue-router
's exported useRoute
or for the default $route
object available in your Vue templates.
By enabling this option a mixin will be injected to keep the $route
template object in sync with Nuxt's managed useRoute()
.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
templateUtils
Whether to provide a legacy templateUtils
object (with serialize
, importName
and importSources
) when compiling Nuxt templates.
This flag will be removed with the release of v4 and exists only for advance testing within Nuxt v3.12+ or in the nightly release channel.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
treeshakeClientOnly
Tree shakes contents of client-only components from server bundle.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
See: Nuxt PR #5750
typedPages
Enable the new experimental typed router using unplugin-vue-router.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
viewTransition
Enable View Transition API integration with client-side router.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
See: View Transitions API
watcher
Set an alternative watcher that will be used as the watching service for Nuxt.
Nuxt uses 'chokidar-granular' if your source directory is the same as your root directory . This will ignore top-level directories (like node_modules
and .git
) that are excluded from watching.
You can set this instead to parcel
to use @parcel/watcher
, which may improve performance in large projects or on Windows platforms.
You can also set this to chokidar
to watch all files in your source directory.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"chokidar"
See: chokidar
See: @parcel/watcher
writeEarlyHints
Write early hints when using node server.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
extends

Value should be either a string or array of strings pointing to source directories or config path relative to current config.
You can use github:
, gh:
gitlab:
or bitbucket:
- Default:
null
See: c12
docs on extending config layers
See: giget
documentation
extensions
The extensions that should be resolved by the Nuxt resolver.
- Type:
array
- Default
[
".js",
".jsx",
".mjs",
".ts",
".tsx",
".vue"
]
features
Some features of Nuxt are available on an opt-in basis, or can be disabled based on your needs.
devLogs
Stream server logs to the client as you are developing. These logs can be handled in the dev:ssr-logs
hook.
If set to silent
, the logs will not be printed to the browser console.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
inlineStyles
Inline styles when rendering HTML (currently vite only).
You can also pass a function that receives the path of a Vue component and returns a boolean indicating whether to inline the styles for that component.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
noScripts
Turn off rendering of Nuxt scripts and JS resource hints. You can also disable scripts more granularly within routeRules
.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
future
future
is for early opting-in to new features that will become default in a future (possibly major) version of the framework.
compatibilityVersion
Enable early access to Nuxt v4 features or flags.
Setting compatibilityVersion
to 4
changes defaults throughout your Nuxt configuration, but you can granularly re-enable Nuxt v3 behaviour when testing (see example). Please file issues if so, so that we can address in Nuxt or in the ecosystem.
- Type:
number
- Default:
3
Example:
export default defineNuxtConfig({
future: {
compatibilityVersion: 4,
},
// To re-enable _all_ Nuxt v3 behaviour, set the following options:
srcDir: '.',
dir: {
app: 'app'
},
experimental: {
compileTemplate: true,
templateUtils: true,
relativeWatchPaths: true,
resetAsyncDataToUndefined: true,
defaults: {
useAsyncData: {
deep: true
}
}
},
unhead: {
renderSSRHeadOptions: {
omitLineBreaks: false
}
}
})
multiApp
This enables early access to the experimental multi-app support.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
See: Nuxt Issue #21635
typescriptBundlerResolution
This enables 'Bundler' module resolution mode for TypeScript, which is the recommended setting for frameworks like Nuxt and Vite.
It improves type support when using modern libraries with exports
.
You can set it to false to use the legacy 'Node' mode, which is the default for TypeScript.
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
true
See: TypeScript PR implementing bundler
module resolution
generate
exclude
This option is no longer used. Instead, use nitro.prerender.ignore
.
- Type:
array
routes
The routes to generate.
If you are using the crawler, this will be only the starting point for route generation. This is often necessary when using dynamic routes.
It is preferred to use nitro.prerender.routes
.
- Type:
array
Example:
routes: ['/users/1', '/users/2', '/users/3']
hooks
Hooks are listeners to Nuxt events that are typically used in modules, but are also available in nuxt.config
.
Internally, hooks follow a naming pattern using colons (e.g., build:done).
For ease of configuration, you can also structure them as an hierarchical object in nuxt.config
(as below).
- Default:
null
Example:
import fs from 'node:fs'
import path from 'node:path'
export default {
hooks: {
build: {
done(builder) {
const extraFilePath = path.join(
builder.nuxt.options.buildDir,
'extra-file'
)
fs.writeFileSync(extraFilePath, 'Something extra')
}
}
}
}
ignore
More customizable than ignorePrefix
: all files matching glob patterns specified inside the ignore
array will be ignored in building.
- Type:
array
- Default
[
"**/*.stories.{js,cts,mts,ts,jsx,tsx}",
"**/*.{spec,test}.{js,cts,mts,ts,jsx,tsx}",
"**/*.d.{cts,mts,ts}",
"**/.{pnpm-store,vercel,netlify,output,git,cache,data}",
".nuxt/analyze",
".nuxt",
"**/-*.*"
]
ignoreOptions
Pass options directly to node-ignore
(which is used by Nuxt to ignore files).
See: node-ignore
Example:
ignoreOptions: {
ignorecase: false
}
ignorePrefix
Any file in pages/
, layouts/
, middleware/
, and public/
directories will be ignored during the build process if its filename starts with the prefix specified by ignorePrefix
. This is intended to prevent certain files from being processed or served in the built application. By default, the ignorePrefix
is set to '-', ignoring any files starting with '-'.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"-"
imports
Configure how Nuxt auto-imports composables into your application.
See: Nuxt documentation
dirs
An array of custom directories that will be auto-imported. Note that this option will not override the default directories (~/composables, ~/utils).
- Type:
array
Example:
imports: {
// Auto-import pinia stores defined in `~/stores`
dirs: ['stores']
}
global
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
false
logLevel
Log level when building logs.
Defaults to 'silent' when running in CI or when a TTY is not available. This option is then used as 'silent' in Vite and 'none' in Webpack
- Type:
string
- Default:
"info"
modules
Modules are Nuxt extensions which can extend its core functionality and add endless integrations.
Each module is either a string (which can refer to a package, or be a path to a file), a tuple with the module as first string and the options as a second object, or an inline module function.
Nuxt tries to resolve each item in the modules array using node require path (in node_modules
) and then will be resolved from project srcDir
if ~
alias is used.
- Type:
array
nuxt.config.ts
are loaded. Then, modules found in the modules/
directory are executed, and they load in alphabetical order.Example:
modules: [
// Using package name
'@nuxtjs/axios',
// Relative to your project srcDir
'~/modules/awesome.js',
// Providing options
['@nuxtjs/google-analytics', { ua: 'X1234567' }],
// Inline definition
function () {}
]
modulesDir
Used to set the modules directories for path resolving (for example, webpack's resolveLoading
, nodeExternals
and postcss
).
The configuration path is relative to options.rootDir
(default is current working directory).
Setting this field may be necessary if your project is organized as a yarn workspace-styled mono-repository.
- Type:
array
- Default
[
"/<rootDir>/node_modules"
]
Example:
export default {
modulesDir: ['../../node_modules']
}
nitro
Configuration for Nitro.
routeRules
- Type:
object
runtimeConfig
- Type:
object
- Default
{

will set the rootDir
to the absolute path of ./my-app/
from the current/working directory.
It is normally not needed to configure this option.

"/<rootDir>"
routeRules
Global route options applied to matching server routes.
Experimental: This is an experimental feature and API may change in the future.
See: Nitro route rules documentation
router
options
Additional router options passed to vue-router
. On top of the options for vue-router
, Nuxt offers additional options to customize the router (see below).
app/router.options.ts
file.See: Vue Router documentation.
hashMode

false
Default: false
scrollBehaviorType
Customize the scroll behavior for hash links.
- Type:
string
- Default:
"auto"
Default: 'auto'
runtimeConfig
Runtime config allows passing dynamic config and environment variables to the Nuxt app context.
The value of this object is accessible from server only using useRuntimeConfig
.
It mainly should hold private configuration which is not exposed on the frontend. This could include a reference to your API secret tokens.
Anything under public
and app
will be exposed to the frontend as well.
Values are automatically replaced by matching env variables at runtime, e.g. setting an environment variable NUXT_API_KEY=my-api-key NUXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL=/foo/
would overwrite the two values in the example below.
- Type:
object
- Default
{
"public": {},
"app": {
"buildId": "ed9f97d5-a946-4f44-9729-21fe99d109cd",
"baseURL": "/",
"buildAssetsDir": "/_nuxt/",
"cdnURL": ""
}
}
Example:
export default {
runtimeConfig: {
apiKey: '', // Default to an empty string, automatically set at runtime using process.env.NUXT_API_KEY
public: {
baseURL: '' // Exposed to the frontend as well.
}
}
}
serverDir
Define the server directory of your Nuxt application, where Nitro routes, middleware and plugins are kept.
If a relative path is specified, it will be relative to your rootDir

This follows the conventions of rou3. - method: The HTTP method of requests that should be handled. - middleware: Specifies whether it is a middleware handler. - lazy: Specifies whether to use lazy loading to import the handler.
- Type:
array
See: server/
directory documentation
server/api

- Type:
object
- Default
{
"server": true,
"client": false
}

.
- If it is unset, it will use
~/app/spa-loading-template.html
file in one of your layers, if it exists. - If it is false, no SPA loading indicator will be loaded. - If true, Nuxt will look for~/app/spa-loading-template.html
file in one of your layers, or a default Nuxt image will be used. Some good sources for spinners are SpinKit or SVG Spinners. - Default:
null
Example: ~/app/spa-loading-template.html
