• mode: String (can be client or server) If defined, the file will be included only on the respective (client or server) side.

  • Items: String or Object

If the item is an object, the properties are:

The plugins property lets you add Vue.js plugins easily to your main application.

nuxt.config.js

export default {
  plugins: [
    { src: '~/plugins/both-sides.js' },
    { src: '~/plugins/client-only.js', mode: 'client' },
    { src: '~/plugins/server-only.js', mode: 'server' }
  ]
}

nuxt.config.js

export default {
  plugins: ['@/plugins/ant-design-vue']
}

plugins/ant-design-vue.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import Antd from 'ant-design-vue'
import 'ant-design-vue/dist/antd.css' // Per Ant Design's docs
Vue.use(Antd)

All the paths defined in the plugins property will be imported before initializing the main application.
