By default, Nuxt is configured to cover most use cases. The [`nuxt.config.ts`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/nuxt.config) file can override or extend this default configuration.
|
|
|
|
## Nuxt Configuration
|
|
|
|
The [`nuxt.config.ts`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/nuxt.config) file is located at the root of a Nuxt project and can override or extend the application's behavior.
|
|
|
|
A minimal configuration file exports the `defineNuxtConfig` function containing an object with your configuration. The `defineNuxtConfig` helper is globally available without import.
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
// My Nuxt config
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This file will often be mentioned in the documentation, for example to add custom scripts, register modules or change rendering modes.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Every option is described in the **Configuration Reference**.

You don't have to use TypeScript to build an application with Nuxt. However, it is strongly recommended to use the `.ts` extension for the `nuxt.config` file. This way you can benefit from hints in your IDE to avoid typos and mistakes while editing your configuration.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
### Environment overrides
|
|
|
|
You can configure fully typed, per-environment overrides in your nuxt.config
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
$production: {
|
|
routeRules: {
|
|
'/**': { isr: true }
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
$development: {
|
|
//
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::callout
|
|
If you're authoring layers, you can also use the `$meta` key to provide metadata that you or the consumers of your layer might use.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
### Environment Variables and Private Tokens
|
|
|
|
The `runtimeConfig` API exposes values like environment variables to the rest of your application. By default, these keys are only available server-side. The keys within `runtimeConfig.public` are also available client-side.
|
|
|
|
Those values should be defined in `nuxt.config` and can be overridden using environment variables.
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
runtimeConfig: {
|
|
// The private keys which are only available server-side
|
|
apiSecret: '123',
|
|
// Keys within public are also exposed client-side
|
|
public: {
|
|
apiBase: '/api'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash [.env]
|
|
# This will override the value of apiSecret
|
|
NUXT_API_SECRET=api_secret_token
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
These variables are exposed to the rest of your application using the [`useRuntimeConfig()`](/docs/api/composables/use-runtime-config) composable.
|
|
|
|
```vue [pages/index.vue]
|
|
<script setup lang="ts">
|
|
const runtimeConfig = useRuntimeConfig()
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:read-more{to="/docs/guide/going-further/runtime-config"}
|
|
|
|
## App Configuration
|
|
|
|
The `app.config.ts` file, located in the source directory (by default the root of the project), is used to expose public variables that can be determined at build time. Contrary to the `runtimeConfig` option, these can not be overridden using environment variables.
|
|
|
|
A minimal configuration file exports the `defineAppConfig` function containing an object with your configuration. The `defineAppConfig` helper is globally available without import.
|
|
|
|
```ts [app.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineAppConfig({
|
|
title: 'Hello Nuxt',
|
|
theme: {
|
|
dark: true,
|
|
colors: {
|
|
primary: '#ff0000'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These variables are exposed to the rest of your application using the [`useAppConfig`](/docs/api/composables/use-app-config) composable.
|
|
|
|
```vue [pages/index.vue]
|
|
<script setup lang="ts">
|
|
const appConfig = useAppConfig()
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:read-more{to="/docs/guide/directory-structure/app-config"}
|
|
|
|
## `runtimeConfig` vs `app.config`
|
|
|
|
As stated above, `runtimeConfig` and `app.config` are both used to expose variables to the rest of your application. To determine whether you should use one or the other, here are some guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- `runtimeConfig`: Private or public tokens that need to be specified after build using environment variables.
|
|
- `app.config` : Public tokens that are determined at build time, website configuration such as theme variant, title and any project config that are not sensitive.
|
|
|
|
Feature | `runtimeConfig` | `app.config`

## External Configuration Files
|
|
|
|
Nuxt uses [`nuxt.config.ts`](/docs/guide/directory-structure/nuxt.config) file as the single source of trust for configurations and skips reading external configuration files. During the course of building your project, you may have a need to configure those. The following table highlights common configurations and, where applicable, how they can be configured with Nuxt.
|
|
|
|
Name | Config File | How To Configure
|
|
|----------------------------------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------
|
|
| [Nitro](https://nitro.unjs.io) | ~~`nitro.config.ts`~~ | Use [`nitro`](/docs/api/nuxt-config#nitro) key in `nuxt.config`
|
|
| [PostCSS](https://postcss.org) | ~~`postcss.config.js`~~ | Use [`postcss`](/docs/api/nuxt-config#postcss) key in `nuxt.config`

## Vue Configuration
|
|
|
|
### With Vite
|
|
|
|
If you need to pass options to `@vitejs/plugin-vue` or `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`, you can do this in your `nuxt.config` file.
|
|
|
|
- `vite.vue` for `@vitejs/plugin-vue`. Check available options [here](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-vue/tree/main/packages/plugin-vue).
|
|
- `vite.vueJsx` for `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`. Check available options [here](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-vue/tree/main/packages/plugin-vue-jsx).
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
vite: {
|
|
vue: {
|
|
customElement: true
|
|
},
|
|
vueJsx: {
|
|
mergeProps: true
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:read-more{to="/docs/api/configuration/nuxt-config#vue"}
|
|
|
|
### With webpack
|
|
|
|
If you use webpack and need to configure `vue-loader`, you can do this using `webpack.loaders.vue` key inside your `nuxt.config` file. The available options are [defined here](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-loader/blob/main/src/index.ts#L32-L62).
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
webpack: {
|
|
loaders: {
|
|
vue: {
|
|
hotReload: true,
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
### Enabling Experimental Vue Features
|
|
|
|
You may need to enable experimental features in Vue, such as `defineModel` or `propsDestructure`. Nuxt provides an easy way to do that in `nuxt.config.ts`, no matter which builder you are using:
|
|
|
|
```ts [nuxt.config.ts]
|
|
export default defineNuxtConfig({
|
|
vue: {
|
|
defineModel: true,
|
|
propsDestructure: true
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
