## Using nuxt.js programmatically
```js
const { Nuxt, Builder } = require('nuxt')
// Import and set nuxt.js options
let config = require('./nuxt.config.js')
config.dev = (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production')
let nuxt = new Nuxt(config)
nuxt.ready().catch(console.error)
// 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`.
