One of the core features of Nuxt is the layers and extending support. You can extend a default Nuxt application to reuse components, utils, and configuration. The layers structure is almost identical to a standard Nuxt application which makes them easy to author and maintain.
|
|
|
|
## Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- Share reusable configuration presets across projects using `nuxt.config` and `app.config`
|
|
- Create a component library using [`components/`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/components) directory
|
|
- Create utility and composable library using [`composables/`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/composables) and [`utils/`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/utils) directories
|
|
- Create Nuxt module presets
|
|
- Share standard setup across projects
|
|
- Create Nuxt themes
|
|
- Enhance code organization by implementing a modular architecture and support Domain-Driven Design (DDD) pattern in large scale projects.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You can extend a layer by adding the [extends](/docs/api/nuxt-config#extends) property to the [`nuxt.config.ts`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/nuxt-config) file.
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
extends: [
|
|
'../base', // Extend from a local layer
|
|
'@my-themes/awesome', // Extend from an installed npm package
|
|
'github:my-themes/awesome#v1', // Extend from a git repository
|
|
]
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass an authentication token if you are extending from a private GitHub repository:
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
extends: [
|
|
// per layer configuration
|
|
['github:my-themes/private-awesome', { auth: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN }]
|
|
]
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nuxt uses [unjs/c12](https://c12.unjs.io) and [unjs/giget](https://giget.unjs.io) for extending remote layers. Check the documentation for more information and all available options.
