Nuxt.js: A practical guide

Nuxt is an opinionated Vue framework that makes it easier to build high-performance full-stack applications. It handles most of the complex configurations involved in routing, processing asynchronous data, middleware, etc. Stubborn directory structure and TypeScript support make it an excellent developer experience for building simple or production-ready enterprise applications.

Getting started with Nuxt.js

In this section, we will create a new Nuxt project that digs into the basics of Nuxt. We will introduce the installation process, set up new projects, and learn about the directory structure.

The website has some prerequisites including the latest Node.js version, VS Code as a text editor Volar extension, and tips for some best settings.

Installation and project settings

We can create a new Nuxt project and navigate to the newly created project by running the following command:

 npx nuxi init my-nuxt-project# navigate to newly created projectcd my-nuxt-project

In the newly created folder, we can run the following command to install the dependencies:

 #using yarnyarn install# using npmnpm install# uisng pnpm# Make sure you have `shamefully-hoist=true` in `.npmrc` before running pnpm installpnpm install

After the installation is complete, we can start the server by running the command:

 # using yarnyarn dev -o# using npmnpm run dev -- -o# using pnpmpnpm dev -o

This will open a new browser window for http://localhost/3000 (or other port, if 3000 is not available), and we should have something like this:

Directory structure and file organization

Nuxt follows a well-defined directory structure to organize projects. This organized structure not only makes navigation of projects easier for codebases, but also helps to adopt best practices to build scalable

This is the directory structure after our project is installed:

 my-nuxt-project
├── .nuxt/
├── public/
│ └── favicon.ico
├── server/
│ └── tsconfig.json
├── .gitignore
├── .npmrc
├── app.vue
├── nuxt.config.ts
├── package.json
├── README.md
├── tsconfig.json
└── yarn.lock

We can add more folders and files according to the directory structure defined by Nuxt. You can find everything you need in the Directory Structure Guide.
