## Getting started

```sh
$ npx create-nuxt-app <project-name>
```

It's as simple as that!

## Templates

:point_right: We recommend to start directly with our cli [create-nuxt-app](https://github.com/nuxt-community/create-nuxt-app) for the latest updates.

Or you can start by using one of our starter templates:

- [starter](https://github.com/nuxt-community/starter-template): Basic Nuxt.js project template
- [express](https://github.com/nuxt-community/express-template): Nuxt.js + Express
- [koa](https://github.com/nuxt-community/koa-template): Nuxt.js + Koa
- [adonuxt](https://github.com/nuxt-community/adonuxt-template): Nuxt.js + AdonisJS
- [micro](https://github.com/nuxt-community/micro-template): Nuxt.js + Micro
- [nuxtent](https://github.com/nuxt-community/nuxtent-template): Nuxt.js + Nuxtent module for content heavy sites

## Using nuxt.js programmatically

```js
const { Nuxt, Builder } = require('nuxt')

// Import and set nuxt.js options
const config = require('./nuxt.config.js')
config.dev = (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production')

const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)

// Start build process (only in development)
if (config.dev) {
  new Builder(nuxt).build()
}

// You can use nuxt.render(req, res) or nuxt.renderRoute(route, context)
```

Learn more: <https://nuxtjs.org/api/nuxt>

## Using nuxt.js as a middleware

You might want to use your own server with your configurations, your API and everything awesome you have created with. That's why you can use nuxt.js as a middleware. It's recommended to use it at the end of your middleware since it will handle the rendering of your web application and won't call next().

```js
app.use(nuxt.render)
```

Learn more: <https://nuxtjs.org/api/nuxt-render>

## Render a specific route

This is mostly used for `nuxt generate` and test purposes but you might find another utility!

```js
nuxt.renderRoute('/about', context)
.then(function ({ html, error }) {
  // You can check error to know if your app displayed the error page for this route
  // Useful to set the correct status code if an error appended:
  if (error) {
    return res.status(error.statusCode || 500).send(html)
  }
  res.send(html)
})
.catch(function (error) {
  // And error appended while rendering the route
})
```

Learn more: <https://nuxtjs.org/api/nuxt-render-route>

## Examples

Please take a look at <https://nuxtjs.org/examples> or directly in <https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt.js/tree/dev/examples>.

## Production deployment

To deploy, instead of running nuxt, you probably want to build ahead of time. Therefore, building and starting are separate commands:

```bash
nuxt build
nuxt start
```

For example, to deploy with [`now`](https://zeit.co/now) a `package.json` like follows is recommended:

```json
{
  "name": "my-app",
  "dependencies": {
    "nuxt": "latest"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt",
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "start": "nuxt start"
  }
}
```

Then run `now` and enjoy!

Note: we recommend putting `.nuxt` in `.npmignore` or `.gitignore`.
