Introduction · Get Started with Nuxt v4

Nuxt is a free and open-source framework with an intuitive and extendable way to create type-safe, performant and production-grade full-stack web applications and websites with Vue.js.
We made everything so you can start writing .vue files from the beginning while enjoying hot module replacement in development and a performant application in production with server-side rendering by default.
Nuxt has no vendor lock-in, allowing you to deploy your application everywhere, even on the edge.
Nuxt uses conventions and an opinionated directory structure to automate repetitive tasks and allow developers to focus on pushing features. The configuration file can still customize and override its default behaviors.
Nuxt takes care of these and provides both frontend and backend functionality so you can focus on what matters: creating your web application.
Nuxt comes with built-in server-side rendering (SSR) capabilities by default, without having to configure a server yourself, which has many benefits for web applications:
Overall, server-side rendering can provide a faster and more efficient user experience, as well as improve search engine optimization and accessibility.
As Nuxt is a versatile framework, it gives you the possibility to statically render your whole application to a static hosting with nuxt generate, disable SSR globally with the ssr: false option or leverage hybrid rendering by setting up the routeRules option.
The Nuxt server engine, Nitro, unlocks new full-stack capabilities.
In development, it uses Rollup and Node.js workers for your server code and context isolation. It also generates your server API by reading files from server/api/ and server middleware from server/middleware/.
In production, Nitro builds your app and server into one universal .output directory. This output is light: minified and removed from any Node.js modules (except polyfills). You can deploy this output on any system supporting JavaScript, from Node.js, Serverless, Workers, Edge-side rendering or purely static.
A Nuxt application can be deployed on a Node or Deno server, pre-rendered to be hosted in static environments, or deployed to serverless and edge providers.
A module system allows you to extend Nuxt with custom features and integrations with third-party services.
Nuxt is composed of different core packages:
