Migration Guide

This version is addressing most of the problems of 2.5 and is without any breaking changes. For most of the users, a normal version upgrade would be enough. However, reading this guide can help to have a smooth upgrade.

General Tips

• Using yarn as the package manager is more preferred as Nuxt is internally being tested against yarn
• Before upgrade ensure to remove yarn.lock, package-lock.json and node_modules
• After full install and testing, also consider upgrading other dependencies. The yarn outdated command can be used.

Missing App Dependencies

Because of how package managers (yarn, npm) work, a wrong version of a dependency from one of the other dependencies may be hoisted into node_modules. Nuxt is strict about this and provides instructions for dependency resolution so please follow it.

The well-known problem is with firebase package that requires to manually install node-fetch dependency in your project.

Core-js

Since core-js@2 and core-js@3 are both supported from babel 7.4.0, Starting from 2.6 Nuxt supports both versions (#5411). It is highly advised to stick with 2 (default) unless having a special dependency that needs 3. (Instructions for core-js@2 are not required but recommended)

core-js@2

• yarn: yarn add -D core-js@2 @babel/runtime-corejs2
• npm: npm i -D core-js@2 @babel/runtime-corejs2

core-js@3

• yarn: yarn add -D core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3
• npm: npm i -D core-js@3 @babel/runtime-corejs3

Edit nuxt.config.js:

export default {
  build: {
    babel: {
      presets({ isServer }) {
        return [
          [
            require.resolve('@nuxt/babel-preset-app'),
            // require.resolve('@nuxt/babel-preset-app-edge'), // For nuxt-edge users
            {
              targets: isServer ? { node: '10' } : { ie: '11' },
              corejs: { version: 3 }
            }
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Typescript

Nuxt 2.5 users may only require to add ts-node to the dependencies

Beta Testers : Replace nuxt by nuxt-edge, and @nuxt/typescript by @nuxt/typescript-edge in the following instructions.

1. Remove nuxt-ts dependency (2.4 users only)
   • yarn: yarn remove nuxt-ts
   • npm: npm remove nuxt-ts
2. Add nuxt and ts-node to dependencies:
   • yarn: yarn add nuxt ts-node
   • npm: npm i nuxt ts-node
3. Add @nuxt/typescript to devDependencies:
   • yarn: yarn add -D @nuxt/typescript
   • npm: npm i -D @nuxt/typescript
4. Create an empty tsconfig.json file. Nuxt will automatically generate it with defaults at first run, then you can edit it to fit your needs

1.0.0 is out! 🎉

It's been a long run and we are really proud to announce the official 1.0 release. Thank you so much for your support and we are looking forward to hear your feedback ❤️

Breaking changes

⚠️ Minimum Node.js version required for Nuxt.js is also increased to 8.0.0 (Current LTS). This allows notable security and performance improvements for both Nuxt and SSR rendering by using native async/awaits and making development easier. So don't forget to upgrade Node to the latest version in both server and your local environment ;)

We have a new internal hook system now, some modules can be broken with 1.0 if they were relying on this.nuxt.plugin(), instead, they will have to use this.hook(), see module hooks documentation.

We removed the internal extensions for .ts, if you want to use TypeScript into Nuxt.js, we recommend you to check out our typescript example.

Deprecation

For the below depreciation, it will still work but you will get a warning to tell you to change your code to the new value.

For better bundling experience for server-side and client-side, we deprecated context.isClient and context.isServer in flavor of process.client and process.server. Since these variables comes from our webpack configuration, it will optimize your client-side and server-side bundles magically 💅

We also deprecated dev property inside build.extend() in flavour of isDev.

Features

• We are now ignoring files starting with a - in front of its filename (example: pages/-ignored.vue) (PR #2417)
• Layout transitions #1620
• Add route.meta (array of matched page .meta) into context, useful for middleware (see details)
• Middleware: you can now define middleware as a function, see example
• Store: you now have access to this.$router and this.app inside your store actions!
• You can set body: true, in your head.script[] to move your scripts at the end of <body> (see example)
• nuxt generate --no-build: Useful for conditions when just dynamic routes are being changed. This makes incremental builds much faster.
• Hooks: you can extend even further Nuxt by using hooks now, the documentation is coming soon.
• New configuration: build.styleResources, check out our style-resources example.

Improvements

• Upgrade Vue to 2.9.x #1723 #1868
• Upgrade to Vue-Router & Vuex to 3.0
• No more babel warning #1698
• Adds support for folders in /layouts #1865
• Mode spa: Respect mounted hook on first render (fix #1629)
• Add --version & -v flag to nuxt binary (you can do npx nuxt -v to know which version of nuxt.js you are using in your project) #1840
• Improve error message when a plugin is not found #1846
• Add ENV variable into app.html, corresponds to env from your nuxt.config.js
• Context is shared across plugins and pages (useful for axios interceptor with redirect), it also improves perfs!
• Improved plugins system
• Better nuxt dev experience with faster and more stable reloads
• SSR performance improvements thanks to node async/awaits
• Allow redirects to external URL (#2265)
• Support options.modulesDir as Array
