Nuxt Ignis

Nuxt Ignis

This is a template starter for Nuxt web applicatons. It is being build as the setup I'd currently use to start with a new "real world" Nuxt webapp. It will improve and grow together with my skills. I also try to include WHAT and WHY comments based on my knowledge about the framework and used libraries.

How to use

As standalone template

  1. Do a git checkout from https://github.com/AloisSeckar/nuxt-ignis.git
  2. Open in IDE and run pnpm install in terminal
  3. Configure modules via .env properties
  4. Start dev server with pnpm dev command
  5. Visit localhost:3000 in browser

You are ready to build your next awesome project in Nuxt!

As a layer (RECOMMENDED)

Aside from being "forked", nuxt-ignis is also available as NPM package that can be referenced as a single-import with all the features incomming.

  1. Add following dependency into your package.json:
"nuxt-ignis": "0.1.6"
  1. Add following section into your nuxt.config.ts:
extends: [
  'nuxt-ignis'
]
  1. Add .npmrc file with following content (if you don't have it yet):
shamefully-hoist=true
strict-peer-dependencies=false
  1. Setup your .env to fit your project needs. Check Configuration section for reference.

You are ready to build your next awesome project in Nuxt!

Netlify deployment note

If you use Netlify for deployment then for some reasons not yet clear to me after extending from Nuxt Ignis you have to add two explicit dependencies into your package.json, namely:

"vue": "latest",
"vue-router": "latest"

Without this workaround the project builds and deploys but will hit runtime error 500 upon loading the page. Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue (12/2024).
