Key Features
- Nuxt framework — The project is built on Nuxt, the Vue-based meta-framework, enabling server-side rendering and static site generation out of the box.
- Prismic CMS integration — Content is managed through Prismic, a headless CMS; the setup process creates a new Prismic repository with sample content.
- Slice Machine initialization — Running
npx @slicemachine/init@latestwires the starter to a Prismic repository and loads sample content. - Quick start with degit — The command
npx degit prismicio-community/nuxt-starter-prismic-blog your-project-namescaffolds the project into any folder name. - Live demo — A working deployment is available at nuxt-starter-prismic-blog.vercel.app.

Who is it for?
The starter suits developers who want a concrete example of a Nuxt + Prismic blog to learn from or to use as a base for their own projects. It is useful for frontend developers new to Prismic who want to see how content models, slices, and API calls fit together. Teams starting a new blog can also clone the repo, run the init command, and begin customizing instead of configuring from scratch.
What can you do with the Prismic + Nuxt Blog Starter?
- Nuxt developers: bootstrap a new blog project and study how Prismic content is fetched and rendered in Nuxt pages.
- Content teams: manage blog posts through Prismic's editing environment while the Nuxt front end composes them into a website.
- Agency developers: reuse the starter as a foundation for client blogs, then extend it with custom slices and page layouts.
How does the starter work?
The Quick Start section in the README lists three steps: first, use npx degit to copy the template into a new directory; second, run npx @slicemachine/init@latest to log in to Prismic or create an account, which creates a content repository with sample content; third, run npm run dev to start a local development server.
