Nuxt Weebflix Animelist is a Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS template that fetches anime data from the Jikan API and renders a browsable list of anime with details.
What is Nuxt Weebflix Animelist?
Nuxt Weebflix Animelist is an open-source Nuxt.js project styled with Tailwind CSS. It consumes the Jikan API (jikan.moe), an unofficial REST API for MyAnimeList, to populate a list of anime and show details about each one. The project runs on Node.js, with standard Nuxt commands for development and production builds, and it can be exported to a static site.
Key Features
- Nuxt.js framework — Built on Nuxt.js, offering server-side rendering and a
generatecommand that exports a complete static site. - Tailwind CSS styling — Uses Tailwind CSS utility classes for a custom interface without a separate design system.
- Jikan API integration — Data is fetched from Jikan, a public REST API at jikan.moe, so the content is live anime data rather than hardcoded lists.
- Anime list with details — The repository description states it displays a list of anime and its details, giving visitors both an overview and deeper information.
- Standard Nuxt scripts — Includes
npm run devfor hot reload,npm run buildandnpm run startfor production, plusnpm run generatefor static output.
Who is it for?
This template suits developers who want a ready-made Nuxt.js app that pulls live data from a public API. Anime fans can use a deployed version of the site to browse titles and read details. It also serves as a concise learning resource for combining Tailwind CSS with Nuxt.js and making REST API calls.
What can you do with it?
- Developers: clone the repository, run
npm install, then runnpm run devto open a hot-reloading dev server at localhost:3000. - Static site generators: run
npm run generateto output a fully static project that can be hosted on any static file host. - Anime viewers: browse the anime list and read details fetched live from the Jikan API.
How does it work?
The template follows a standard Nuxt.js workflow: install dependencies with npm install, develop with npm run dev, and build for production with npm run build and npm run start. To produce a static version, run npm run generate; Nuxt will prerender all pages into static HTML files.
