The ModuleContainer Class

• Source: core/module.js

All modules will be called within context of ModuleContainer instance.

Tapable plugins

We can register hooks on certain life cycle events.

nuxt.moduleContainer.plugin('ready', async moduleContainer => {
  // Do this after all modules where ready
})

Inside modules context we can use this instead:

this.plugin('ready', async moduleContainer => {
  // Do this after all modules where ready
})

Methods

addVendor (vendor)

Deprecated as vendor isn’t used anymore

Adds to options.build.vendor and apply unique filter.

addTemplate (template)

• template: String or Object
  • src
  • options
  • fileName

Renders given template using lodash template during build into project buildDir (.nuxt).

If fileName is not provided or template is string, target file name defaults to [dirName].[fileName].[pathHash].[ext].

This method returns final { dst, src, options } object.

addPlugin (template)

Registers a plugin using addTemplate and adds it to first of plugins[] option.

You can use template.ssr: false to disable plugin including in SSR bundle.

addServerMiddleware (middleware)

Pushes middleware into options.serverMiddleware.

extendBuild (fn)

Allows easily extending webpack build config by chaining options.build.extend function.

extendRoutes (fn)

Allows easily extending routes by chaining options.build.extendRoutes function.

extendPlugins (fn)

Allows easily extending plugins by chaining options.extendPlugins function.

addModule (moduleOpts, requireOnce)

Async function

Registers a module. moduleOpts can be a string or an array ([src, options]). If requireOnce is true and the resolved module exports meta, it prevents registering same module twice.

requireModule (moduleOpts)

Async function

Is a shortcut for addModule(moduleOpts, true)

Hooks
