v2.7.0

Released on 14 May

DX Improvements 💅

SSR logs in your browser 🖥️

We all know the console.log debugging method, but when working with universal applications, you have to remember that sometimes, your logs are in your terminal and not in your browser console.

This can be really annoying when developing a Nuxt.js application, starting with this version and running nuxt dev, the ssr logs are now reported to your browser console:

Detecting store/ creation 👀

Nuxt.js now detects when you created a store/ directory and will reload himself auto-magically so you don't have to restart it anymore.

PS: We also improved the serverMiddleware watch to restart Nuxt.js and clean their cache

Fixes ✔️

• builder: corretly detect mode of hashed plugins (#5695)
• builder: call watch:restart after watch:fileChanged hook (#5620)
• utils: node v8 not support dotAll in regex (#5608)
• vue-app: properly catch component loading error (#5687) (#5688) (#5690)
• vue-app: consider watchQuery option in routerViewKey (#5516)

Features 🚀

• vue-app: rename transition to pageTransition and deprecate it (#5558)

• webpack: suppress not found typescript warnings (#5635)
• webpack: extendable babel.presets and babel envName (#5637)
• configurable aliases (#5655)

Refactors 🧹

• server: exclude dist files request from browser detection (#5571)
• vue-renderer: remove chalk in renderer (#5609)
• vue-renderer: split renderer into ssr, spa and modern (#5559)
• move modern detection from server to utils (#5584)

Examples 📚

• auth-routes: fix typo (#5651)
• babel-preset-app: add core-js@3 example in the readme (#5633)
• docker: fix Dockerfile casing (#5705)

Typescript 👷

Only for typescript users, Nuxt.js v2.7 dropped support for node < 8.6 relate to ts-loader v6

• add babel config types (#5666)

v2.6.0

Released on 4 April

Migration Guide

This version is addressing most of the problems of 2.5 and is without any breaking changes. For most of the users, a normal version upgrade would be enough. However, reading this guide can help to have a smooth upgrade.

General Tips

• Using yarn as the package manager is more preferred as Nuxt is internally being tested against yarn
• Before upgrade ensure to remove yarn.lock, package-lock.json and node_modules
• After full install and testing, also consider upgrading other dependencies. The yarn outdated command can be used.

Missing App Dependencies

Because of how package managers (yarn, npm) work, a wrong version of a dependency from one of the other dependencies may be hoisted into node_modules. Nuxt is strict about this and provides instructions for dependency resolution so please follow it.

The well-known problem is with firebase package that requires to manually install node-fetch dependency in your project.

Reverting breaking changes

We accidentially introduced a change that broke the prod build for many people who are using Nuxt programatically. This has been resolved through #5413. Sorry for the inconveniences!

Core-js

Since core-js@2 and core-js@3 are both supported from babel 7.4.0, Starting from 2.6 Nuxt supports both versions (#5411). It is highly advised to stick with 2 (default) unless having a special dependency that needs 3. (Instructions for core-js@2 are not required but recommended)

core-js@2

• yarn: yarn add -D core-js@2 @babel/runtime-corejs2
• npm: npm i -D core-js@2 @babel/runtime-corejs2

core-js@3

• yarn: yarn add -D core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3
• npm: npm i -D core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3Edit nuxt.config.js:

Nuxt 2.5 users may only require to add ts-node to the dependencies

• Remove nuxt-ts dependency (2.4 users only)
  • yarn: yarn remove nuxt-ts
  • npm: npm remove nuxt-ts
• Add nuxt and ts-node to dependencies:
  • yarn: yarn add nuxt ts-node
  • npm: npm i nuxt ts-node
• Add @nuxt/typescript to devDependencies:
  • yarn: yarn add -D @nuxt/typescript
  • npm: npm i -D @nuxt/typescript
• Create an empty tsconfig.json file. Nuxt will automatically generate it with defaults at first run, then you can edit it to fit your needs

v2.5.0

Released on 21 March

15,000 line changes with 230 squashed commits by more than 30 contributors made this version possible! :heart:

What's new?

Typescript DX

No longer needed to install nuxt-ts for typescript support. Nuxt.js officially supports TS by installing @nuxt/typescript. Please see #5079 for reasons behind such migration.

Babel

Babel 7.4, Core-js v3, and Object.assign polyfill for better browser support.

Stability

More than 30 fixes, refactors and performance improvements.

Open in Browser

Use nuxt dev -o to instantly open project in the browser and enjoy a cool loading screen:

.nuxtignore

Before v2.5, you were able to ignore files through an ignore prefix. As using the prefix over and over, ignoring files (and implementing custom structures) was a bit tedious on the long run. We came up with something more sophisticated: A .nuxtignore file. Following the same specs as a .eslintignore or a .gitignore file, you can now define what files or folders to ignore through a .nuxtignore file in your project root.

Examples and more info in the .nuxtignore docs

[IMPORTANT] Migration Guide

Lock Files

For a clean upgrade, please remove yarn.lock / package-lock.json file from your project before upgrade.

Programmatic API / Middleware

If not already done, please explicitly call nuxt.ready() after new Nuxt(). nuxt.ready() was always async, but not awaiting the function call has now a severe impact.

   const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)
++ await nuxt.ready()

TypeScript

• Please replace nuxt-ts dependency and use nuxt + @nuxt/typescript. (Also nuxt-ts-edge to nuxt-edge + @nuxt/typescript-edge for edge users)

• Configuration API to customize/disable type checking has been moved from build.useForkTsChecker to build.typescript.typeCheck. Please see #5079 for more details.

build: {
-- useForkTsChecker: false // or ForkTsChecker options
++ typescript : {
++ }
}

Released on 28 January

Upgrade Note ⚠️

Due to a known problem (webpack/webpack#8656, #4869, #4839) users of npm should either remove package-lock.json and reinstall before upgrade or use npm update acorn —depth 20 && npm dedupe after upgrading to 2.4.0. yarn users should have no problems but removing yarn.lock still recommended before the upgrade process.

Important news 👀

New core team member 🐤

We are really proud to announce Kevin Marrec (@kevinmarrec) as a new core team member of Nuxt.js. He is French 🇫🇷 and responsible for the TypeScript integration 💚

Official Consulting ⛑

We now offer official support & consulting from the core team. We partnered with Otechie for the process and already did some beta-tests with selected companies.

Are you interested or curious?Learn more on https://otechie.com/nuxt :raised_hands:

RFC Process 📎

We invite you to take a look at our nuxt/rfcs repository where we discuss the future of Nuxt and its vision.

Here are some interesting proposals if you want to learn more about the upcoming changes of Nuxt:

• to generate offline-ready static websites with Nuxt by default
• Fabula, a Vue/Nuxt-inspired tool for running tasks on local and remote hosts
• to support a config/ directory and autocomplete
• Nuxt Workers to open more possibilities on the server part (clustering, PM2 integration, HMR on the server and more)
• to give more power to Nuxt modules
• And many more 💚

Release Plan 🚢

Starting with this release, Nuxt will adhere to a formalized release plan (as good as possible). Also, an end of life for older major versions is defined within RELEASE_PLAN.md.

Quick summary:

• Nuxt major releases are planned every 6 months.
• The release cycle for Nuxt.js minor versions is roughly 4 weeks.
• Fixes will be released as soon as possible after the actual PR/commitWe strongly invite you to read the for further details.

Thank you ❤️

We want to specially thanks:

• Our contributors submitting bug reports, feature requests and commenting on issues
• Our users participating on our and sharing the love by mentioning our Twitter account
• All the devs working for companies using Nuxt.js and who helped us building a
• Our backers and sponsors supporting us financially through our open Collective

New Features ✨

Speaking of TypeScript…

In order to run Nuxt with TypeScript, we created a new distribution, called (we also have nuxt-ts-edge).We want to thank @hmsk for his donation of the package name on npm ❤️

You can explore or play with it directly in our Nuxt TS CodeSandBox.

For a more advanced example, you can look at the or play with it on CodeSandBox, made by @husayt & @kevinmarrec.

This work has been made by @kevinmarrec with the help of @pi0 & @Atinux.

:warning: Experimental: We are waiting for your feedback to keep improving it and breaking changes can occur without a semver major release. However, all changes will be documented properly

Smart prefetching ⚡️

Nuxt.js will automagically prefetch the code-splitted pages linked with <nuxt-link> when visible in the viewport by default. This hugely improves the end user performances, inspired by quicklink.

Demos are online and we recommend you to try it out to feel the difference:

• No prefetching (v2.3):
• With prefetching (v2.4): https://nuxt-prefetch.surge.shBonus: we added $nuxt.isOnline and $nuxt.isOffline which is reactive, so you can use it directly inside your components (see ).

You can learn more about this feature in the associated PR #4574 and in the documentation.

HMR & best practices for store/ 👀

This feature has been implemented by @manniL & @Atinux on PRs #4589, #4582 and #4791

Autocomplete for VS Code (via. Vetur extension) ✅

If you are using VS Code, with this version, you will now have autocomplete for Nuxt.js components:

This feature has been implemented by @octref & @Atinux on PR #4524

Port taken? Nuxt got your back! 💪

If Nuxt wants to listen on a port which is already used, it will warn you in development and listen to a free port instead:

In production it will throw an error instead to avoid unwanted behavior:

This feature has been implemented by @ricardogobbosouza on PR #4428 with the help of @pi0 and @manniL.

Suggest installing missing dependencies or mismatches 💯

Nuxt requires all peer like dependencies as a dependency for easier usage. Sometimes this causes unwanted behaviors when users explicitly add a specific version in their package.json which is incompatible with nuxt. This could also help to resolve popular Vue packages version mismatch error (#198, #669, #1084, #1414, #1851, #2079, #2406, #3454).

Nuxt is now able to automatically self-verify installed dependencies and warn with a proper message in case of detecting problems.

This feature has been implemented by @pi0 in PR #4669

Auto-detection of modern bundles 🥇

This detection was created by @clarkdo on PR #4422

Plugin modes and file extensions 💅

Until now, you used ssr: false in your plugin declarations to disable server-side rendering. We decided to deprecate that option and introduce a mode instead, which can be 'all', 'client' or 'server'. No worries, ssr is still working (until Nuxt 3).

The new feature coming with the mode is that you can define it by using the file suffix:

• plugins/plugin.server.js
• plugins/plugin.client.js
• plugins/plugin.jsBy adding the plugins to your nuxt.config.js:

The declaration will be internally transformed to:

plugins: [
  { mode: 'server', src: '~/plugins/plugin.server.js' },
  { mode: 'client', src: '~/plugins/plugin.client.js' },
  { mode: 'all', src: '~/plugins/plugin.js' }
]

(If you specify the mode manually, it will overwrite the suffix detection)

This feature has been implemented by @clarkdo on PR #4592

Module commands 🖥

Nuxt modules can now include bin scripts that are recognized by Nuxt's CLI.

Here's an example of my-module/bin/command.js:

The command could be run with:

npx nuxt command arg1 arg2

You can learn more about that in the modules command documentation.

:warning: Experimental: We are waiting for your feedback to keep improving it and breaking changes can occur without a semver major release. However, all changes will be documented properly <3

This feature has been implemented by @galvez on PR #4314 with the help of @pi0.

PostCSS in Vue Components 💃

You can now use lang="postcss" in your Vue components. Postcss has applied to all your styles anyway (e.g. to resolve aliases like ~) but the lang attribute enables autocomplete and syntax highlighting for some IDEs.

This feature has been implemented by @manniL on PR #4417.

No more extensions for Stylesheets needed 🦅

We are concerned to improve the Developer Experience ("DX") with each release. This small change allows you to omit the file extension for CSS/SCSS/Postcss/Less/Stylus/… files listed in the css array inside your nuxt.config.js. For the plugins or serverMiddleware key, this is already possible.

This feature has been implemented by @manniL on PR #4671.

SSR Bundle improvements 🔹

We made a full rewrite of how SSR bundle is packaged.

This means better performance, less memory overhead, fewer OOM crashes and easier SSR bundle debugging.

This feature has been implemented by @pi0 on PR #4439.

📝 Release Notes

With v2.3, Nuxt.js is splitted into smaller packages (Aka a mono-repo). This means smaller packages, independent versioning support and ability to replace any part of Nuxt.js without dirty hacks. Before this release, we carefully tested the latest updates using edge release channel against real-world projects and there should be no breaking changes.

Please note that for upgrading Nuxt.js just changing version inside package.json is not enough. Please use yarn upgrade or npm upgrade so that the final directory structure of node_modules will be correct. In case of problems clean up node_modules and yarn.lock/package-lock.json. Still having problems? open an issue in cmty!

v2.0.0

Released on 21 September 2018

Migration guide for 2.0.0

Your migration is mostly straightforward as Nuxt 2 does not makes breaking changes. So you can try your chance and simply upgrade to Nuxt 2 using yarn add nuxt@^2.0.0 or npm install nuxt@^2.0.0 😉

The long but peaceful approach

• Carefully read release notes
• If you are using a VCS for your project commit and push latest changes and then checkout into a new branch
• Stop any Nuxt process
• [optional] Delete all directories .nuxt, node_modules, yarn.lock and package.lock.json
• Ensure you are using the latest node version (Node 10.x and NPM >= 5 are recommended)
• Upgrade nuxt.config.js, modules and serverMiddleware to use import/export instead of require
• Ensure webpack and vue dependencies are not explicitly set inside your package.json, if so please upgrade them to match Nuxt used versions
• Do npm install or yarn install
• [optional] Use npm outdated or yarn outdated and manually update any other dependency with care
• If you have a CDN deployment system, please make sure you have updated CI/CD configurations to publish .nuxt/dist/clientinstead of .nuxt/dist
• If you are using build.extend, make sure your changes are compatible with Webpack 4.Still Having problems? Make a bug report at or reach us using Discord

Major changes

• We now use Webpack 4. We announced 2.x and started publishing latest changes as nuxt-edge package at March. But we wanted to make sure that most of the plugins were updated and stable before releasing a stable version of Nuxt.js
• Due to server/client artifact isolation (PR #3758), external build.publicPath need to upload built content to .nuxt/dist/client directory instead .nuxt/dist.
• ESM is supported everywhere you can now use export/import syntax in nuxt.config.js, serverMiddleware and modules.
• Upgraded to use Babel 7 (PR #3667)
• Use postcss-preset-env instead of postcss-cssnext ()) (PR #3291), config build.postcss.preset is for postcss-preset-env options
• Introducing for runtime only and nuxt-legacy to support Node < 8
• Due to css-loader upgrade, use ~assets instead of ~/assets for alias in , e.g., background: url("~assets/banner.svg") (PR #3741)

Features

• watchQuery lets you observe query strings and execute component methods (asyncData, fetch, validate, layout etc) on change (3d49d8d2905796f063b171fdd935da721622fe05)
• You can now Ignore pages with a prefix (PR #2594)
• Internal hooks can be set hierarchically in nuxt.config.js (PR #3766)
• Added loading: false option to pages, see , (PR #3629)
• New stores modules can now be built by a combination of files (actions.js, mutations.js, getters.js and state.js) along with index.js (PR #3636)
