Nitro

It is possible to use the Nuxt3 rendering engine (Nitro) with Nuxt2 via a compatibility module.

1. Install @nuxt/nitro as a devDependency:

   yarn add --dev @nuxt/nitro
   

2. Add @nuxt/nitro/compat to buildModules inside nuxt.config:

   export default {
     buildModules: [
       '@nuxt/nitro/compat'
     ]
   }
   

3. If you have selected target: 'static' in your nuxt.config, update the build script in package.json to be nuxt generate:

   {
     "scripts": {
       "build": "nuxt generate"
     }
   }
   

Now, when you build your project, Nitro will generate an optimized server bundle for fast, next-generation edge rendering.
