Nuxt have builders based on webpack and vite. You can extend the config passed to each one using extendWebpackConfig and extendViteConfig functions. You can also add additional plugins via addVitePlugin, addWebpackPlugin and addBuildPlugin.

extendWebpackConfig

Extends the webpack configuration. Callback function can be called multiple times, when applying to both client and server builds.

Type

function extendWebpackConfig (callback: ((config: WebpackConfig) => void), options?: ExtendWebpackConfigOptions): void

export interface ExtendWebpackConfigOptions {
  dev?: boolean
  build?: boolean
  server?: boolean
  client?: boolean
  prepend?: boolean
}

Parameters

callback

Type: (config: WebpackConfig) => void

Required: true

A callback function that will be called with the webpack configuration object.

options

Type: ExtendWebpackConfigOptions

Default: {}

Options to pass to the callback function. This object can have the following properties:

  • dev (optional)

    Type: boolean

    Default: true

    If set to true, the callback function will be called when building in development mode.

  • build (optional)

    Type: boolean

    Default: true

    If set to true, the callback function will be called when building in production mode.

  • server (optional)

    Type: boolean

    Default: true

    If set to true, the callback function will be called when building the server bundle.

  • client (optional)

    Type: boolean

    Default: true

    If set to true, the callback function will be called when building the client bundle.

  • prepend (optional)

    Type: boolean

    If set to true, the callback function will be prepended to the array with unshift() instead of push().

Examples

import { defineNuxtModule, extendWebpackConfig } from '@nuxt/kit'

export default defineNuxtModule({
  setup() {
    extendWebpackConfig((config) => {
      config.module?.rules.push({
