Nuxt Module Development
Guide for creating Nuxt modules that extend framework functionality.
Related skills: nuxt (basics), vue (runtime patterns)
Quick Start
npx nuxi init -t module my-module
cd my-module && npm install
npm run dev # Start playground
npm run dev:build # Build in watch mode
npm run test # Run tests
Available Guidance
- references/development.md - Module anatomy, defineNuxtModule, Kit utilities, hooks
- references/testing-and-publishing.md - E2E testing, best practices, releasing, publishing
- references/ci-workflows.md - Copy-paste CI/CD workflow templates
Loading Files
Consider loading these reference files based on your task:
- references/development.md - if building module features, using defineNuxtModule, or working with Kit utilities
- references/testing-and-publishing.md - if writing E2E tests, publishing to npm, or following best practices
- references/ci-workflows.md - if setting up CI/CD workflows for your module
DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
Module Types
| Type | Location | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Published | npm package | @nuxtjs/, nuxt- distribution |
| Local | modules/ dir |
Project-specific extensions |
| Inline | nuxt.config.ts |
Simple one-off hooks |
