::alert{type=warning} Deployment as service worker has some limitations since SSR code is not running in Node.js environment but pure JavaScript. ::

Usage

You can use the Nuxt config to explicitly set the preset to use:

export default {
  nitro: {
    preset: 'worker'
  }
}

Or directly use the NITRO_PRESET environment variable when running nuxt build:

NITRO_PRESET=worker npx nuxt build

Entry point

The worker preset produces a service worker that can provide full HTML rendering within a worker context (for example Cloudflare Workers). It registers appropriate handlers for fetch, install and activate.

For more information you can see the source code.
