 ```
 
+I use `~plugins` here because nuxt.js create an alias for the `plugins/` folder, it's equivalent to: `join(__dirname, './plugins/vue-notifications.js')`
+
 I added `vue-notifications` in the `vendor` key to make sure that it won't be included in any other build if I call `require('vue-notifications')` in a component.
