String
- Default:
process.cwd()
Define the workspace directory of your Nuxt.js application.
This property will be overwritten by the nuxt commands(nuxt start, nuxt build etc) if an argument is passed to them. Eg running nuxt ./my-app/
will set the rootDir
to the absolute path of ./my-app/
from the current/working directory.
Because of that its normally not needed to configure this option unless you will use Nuxt.js programmatically.
Both rootDir
as the package root containing the node_modules
directory need to be within the same directory tree to be able to resolve dependencies. See the srcDir
option for examples of directory structure when that is not the case.
