API: Using Nuxt.js Programmatically
You might want to use your own server with your middleware and your API. That's why you can use Nuxt.js programmatically.You can see programmatic examples at examples/programmatic.
Nuxt Constructor
To see the list of options to give to Nuxt.js, see the configuration section.
const { loadNuxt, build } = require('nuxt')
// Check if we need to run Nuxt in development mode
const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
// Get a ready to use Nuxt instance
const nuxt = await loadNuxt(isDev ? 'dev' : 'start')
// Enable live build & reloading on dev
if (isDev) {
build(nuxt)
}
// We can use `nuxt.render(req, res)` or `nuxt.renderRoute(route, context)`
You can take a look at the nuxt-express and adonuxt starters to get started quickly.
Debug logs
If you want to display Nuxt.js logs, you can add the following to the top of your file:
process.env.DEBUG = 'nuxt:*'
