# Nuxt Kit
> Nuxt Kit provides composable utilities to make interacting with [Nuxt Hooks](/api/advanced/hooks) and [Nuxt Builder Core](/guide/going-further/internals#the-nuxt-interface) and developing [Nuxt Modules](/guide/going-further/modules) super easy!
## Usage
### Install dependency
You can install the latest nuxt kit by adding it to `dependencies` of `package.json`. However, please consider always explicitly installing the `@nuxt/kit` package even if it is already installed by nuxt.
```json [package.json]
{
"dependencies": {
"@nuxt/kit": "npm:@nuxt/kit-edge@latest"
}
}
```
### Import kit utilities
```js [test.mjs]
import { useNuxt } from '@nuxt/kit'
```

Nuxt kit utilities are only available for modules and not meant to be imported in runtime (components, vue composables, pages, plugins, or server routes)
::
Nuxt kit, is an [esm-only package](/guide/going-further/esm) meaning you **cannot** `require('@nuxt/kit')`. As a workaround, we can use dynamic import to use it in the CommonJS context:
```js [test.cjs]
// This does NOT work!
// const kit = require('@nuxt/kit')
async function main() {
const kit = await import('@nuxt/kit')
}
main()
```
