Nuxt Example

Nuxt Example is a minimal Nuxt 3 boilerplate from Vercel's examples repository that deploys to the Vercel platform with zero configuration.

What is Nuxt Example?

Nuxt Example is a minimal Nuxt 3 application template created by Vercel as part of its framework boilerplates. It provides a basic Nuxt project with default scripts for development, building, and previewing, and it is pre-configured to deploy to Vercel without any additional setup. The template's input is your source code or a quick clone via the Deploy button, and its output is a live Nuxt.js site hosted on Vercel.

Key Features

• One-click Vercel deployment — The Deploy with Vercel button creates a new project from the template and automatically builds and deploys it.
• Zero configuration required — No Vercel config files are needed; the Nuxt preset is handled automatically.
• Multiple package managers — Supports npm, yarn, and pnpm; the pnpm setup command includes --shamefully-hoist for dependency handling.
• Development server — npm run dev starts the local dev server at http://localhost:3000.
• Production build — npm run build produces a production bundle, and npm run preview serves it locally.
• Live example — A running instance is available at https://nuxtjs-template.vercel.app, demonstrating the default output.
• Official documentation links — The README points to the Nuxt 3 docs and Vercel's deployment presets for further guidance.

Who is it for?

• New Nuxt developers — Use this template as a clean starting point to learn Nuxt 3 and deploy a simple app to Vercel in minutes.
• Teams evaluating Nuxt — Quickly spin up a working Nuxt 3 site on Vercel to assess the framework without writing boilerplate.
• Anyone needing a quick deployment — If you want a Nuxt app online fast, the one-click deploy flow saves configuration time.

What can you do with Nuxt Example?

• Rapid prototyping: Deploy a Nuxt 3 app to Vercel with one click and immediately get a public URL to share.
• Local iteration: Develop locally using the provided scripts, test production builds with npm run preview, then push to trigger redeployment.
• Learning Vercel + Nuxt integration: Study how a minimal Nuxt 3 project is structured for Vercel's automatic deployment pipeline.

How does Nuxt Example work?

1. Click the Deploy with Vercel button or clone the repository from GitHub.
2. Install dependencies using npm, yarn, or pnpm; the pnpm command requires --shamefully-hoist.
3. Run npm run dev to start development on http://localhost:3000.
4. Run npm run build to compile for production, then npm run preview to serve the build locally.
5. Commit and push changes to your repository — Vercel will automatically rebuild and deploy the update.
