List of anime and its details. Built with Nuxt.js and Tailwindcss, API fetched from jikan.moe.

About this template

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 generate command 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 dev for hot reload, npm run build and npm run start for production, plus npm run generate for 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 run npm run dev to open a hot-reloading dev server at localhost:3000.
  • Static site generators: run npm run generate to 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.

FAQ

What is the Jikan API?

Jikan is a REST API available at jikan.moe that provides anime and manga data sourced from MyAnimeList. This template uses that API as its data layer.

How do I start using this template?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm install, and run npm run dev. Then open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the anime list.

Can I deploy this as a static website?

Yes. Run npm run generate to create a static version of the project. The output can be hosted on any static hosting service without a Node.js server.
