Nuxt modules allow you to enhance Nuxt's capabilities. They offer a structured way to keep your code organized and modular. If you're looking to break down your module into smaller components, Nuxt offers the `useNuxt` and `tryUseNuxt` functions. These functions enable you to conveniently access the Nuxt instance from the context without having to pass it as argument.
::callout
When you're working with the `setup` function in Nuxt modules, Nuxt is already provided as the second argument. This means you can directly utilize it without needing to call `useNuxt()`. You can look at [Nuxt Site Config](https://github.com/harlan-zw/nuxt-site-config) as an example of usage.
::
## `useNuxt`
Get the Nuxt instance from the context. It will throw an error if Nuxt is not available.
### Type
```ts
function useNuxt(): Nuxt
interface Nuxt {
options: NuxtOptions
hooks: Hookable<NuxtHooks>
hook: Nuxt['hooks']['hook']
callHook: Nuxt['hooks']['callHook']
addHooks: Nuxt['hooks']['addHooks']
ready: () => Promise<void>
close: () => Promise<void>
server?: any
vfs: Record<string, string>
apps: Record<string, NuxtApp>
}
```
### Examples
::code-group
```ts [setupTranspilation.ts]
// https://github.com/Lexpeartha/nuxt-xstate/blob/main/src/parts/transpile.ts
import { useNuxt } from '@nuxt/kit'
export const setupTranspilation = () => {
const nuxt = useNuxt()
nuxt.options.build.transpile = nuxt.options.build.transpile || []
if (nuxt.options.builder === '@nuxt/webpack-builder') {
nuxt.options.build.transpile.push(
'xstate',
)
}
}
```
```ts [module.ts]
import { useNuxt } from '@nuxt/kit'
import { setupTranspilation } from './setupTranspilation'
export default defineNuxtModule({
setup() {
setupTranspilation()
}
})
```
::
## `tryUseNuxt`
Get the Nuxt instance from the context. It will return `null` if Nuxt is not available.
### Type
```ts
function tryUseNuxt(): Nuxt | null
interface Nuxt {
options: NuxtOptions
hooks: Hookable<NuxtHooks>
hook: Nuxt['hooks']['hook']
callHook: Nuxt['hooks']['callHook']
addHooks: Nuxt['hooks']['addHooks']
ready: () => Promise<void>
close: () => Promise<void>
server?: any
vfs: Record<string, string>
apps: Record<string, NuxtApp>
}
```
### Examples
::code-group
```ts [requireSiteConfig.ts]
// https://github.com/harlan-zw/nuxt-site-config/blob/main/test/assertions.test.ts
import { tryUseNuxt } from '@nuxt/kit'
interface SiteConfig {
title: string
}
export const requireSiteConfig = (): SiteConfig => {
const nuxt = tryUseNuxt()
if (!nuxt) {
return { title: null }
}
return nuxt.options.siteConfig
}
```
```ts [module.ts]
import { useNuxt } from '@nuxt/kit'
import { requireSiteConfig } from './requireSiteConfig'
export default defineNuxtModule({
setup(_, nuxt) {
const config = requireSiteConfig()
nuxt.options.app.head.title = config.title
}
})
```
