Redis Nuxt.js Starter

Redis Nuxt.js Starter is a Nuxt template from the Vercel examples repository that stores a pageview counter in Vercel KV for Redis and renders the running total back to visitors.

What is the Redis Nuxt.js Starter?

Redis Nuxt.js Starter is a Starter-category Nuxt template published inside the public vercel/examples repository, built to demonstrate a Redis-backed pageview counter. Each page request increments a counter stored in Vercel KV for Redis and the updated number is returned to the browser, with the interface styled using Tailwind CSS. It runs on the Nuxt framework and is meant to be deployed to Vercel, where the Redis integration is attached to the project during deployment. A hosted demo of the counter is available at kv-redis-nuxt.vercel.app.

Key Features

• Nuxt framework — the application is a Nuxt project bootstrapped with the nuxi CLI rather than a static HTML page.
• Tailwind CSS styling — utility-class styling is the only CSS layer in the template.
• Vercel KV for Redis storage — the pageview counter is kept in a Redis key rather than in memory or a relational table, and the deploy link pre-configures the Redis integration.
• One-click Vercel deploy — the deploy button creates a new project named kv-redis-nuxt from the repository, with the demo title and demo URL pre-filled.
• nuxi template bootstrap — the example can be scaffolded locally with the nuxi init command pointed at the storage/kv-redis-nuxt path in the examples repo.
• Local development server — the README documents running the project with the package manager's dev command.
• Companion storage starters — blob-starter and postgres-starter are listed as related templates in the same storage collection.

Who should use the Redis Nuxt.js Starter?

• Nuxt developers who need a visit counter: drop the counter into a blog, portfolio, or landing page and let Redis hold the totals instead of a database table.
• Developers evaluating Vercel KV for Redis: use the small surface area to see how the integration is wired into a deployment before committing a production app to it.
• Teams standardizing on Nuxt plus Vercel: start from a working deployment configuration instead of assembling project settings by hand.
• Tutorial authors and learners: the counter is small enough to read end to end while still exercising a real hosted datastore.

What can you do with the Redis Nuxt.js Starter?

• Add social proof to a landing page: show a live count of how many times a page has been viewed, persisted in Redis across deployments and serverless invocations.
• Prototype request counting: extend the same increment-and-read pattern to other counters, such as API calls or signup clicks.
• Compare datastore choices: evaluate the Redis version against the related postgres-starter and blob-starter examples before picking a persistence layer.

How does the Redis Nuxt.js Starter work?

1. Deploy with the Vercel button, or scaffold locally with the nuxi init command referencing the kv-redis-nuxt example in the vercel/examples repository.
2. Run the development server to view the page locally.
3. On each visit the app increments the Redis key through the Vercel KV client, then renders the new total on the page.

FAQ

What does the Redis Nuxt.js Starter do?

It provides a Nuxt application that counts pageviews using Vercel KV for Redis. Every visit increments a stored counter, and the current total is displayed on the page, giving a minimal working example of a Nuxt app reading and writing a hosted Redis store on Vercel.

Is the Redis Nuxt.js Starter free?

The template code is part of the public vercel/examples repository and can be cloned or deployed at no cost for the code itself. Any charges relate to the Vercel project and Redis integration you connect when deploying, so review your own account limits.

What database does the Redis Nuxt.js Starter use?

It uses Redis, accessed through Vercel KV. The deploy URL includes a Redis integration product entry, so the datastore is provisioned as part of the deployment rather than being configured manually in the code.

Can I start the Redis Nuxt.js Starter without the one-click button?

Yes. The README documents scaffolding the example with nuxi init pointed at the storage/kv-redis-nuxt path, then running the development server locally before deploying to Vercel through the standard project flow.

Are there similar templates in the same collection?

Yes. The Blob starter and the Postgres starter are listed as related templates, covering object storage and relational Postgres persistence respectively instead of Redis.
