Setup

Learn how to setup the Strapi module in your Nuxt application.

Installation

Add @nuxtjs/strapi module to your project:

npx nuxi@latest module add strapi

This will add the module to the modules section of your nuxt.config.ts. You can then configure it:

nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxtjs/strapi'],
  strapi: {
    // Options
  }
})

Options

Defaults:

{
  url: process.env.STRAPI_URL || 'http://localhost:1337',
  token: process.env.STRAPI_TOKEN || undefined,
  prefix: '/api',
  admin: '/admin',
  version: 'v5',
  cookie: {},
  cookieName: 'strapi_jwt'
}

If you want to override any options on runtime, you may use Nuxt runtime-config:

nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // Example of separate client/server URLs
  runtimeConfig: {
    strapi: {
      url: 'http://localhost:1337'
    },
    public: {
      strapi: {
        url: 'http://localhost:1337'
      }
    }
  }
})

Continuous releases

Nuxt Strapi uses pkg.pr.new for continuous preview releases, providing developers with instant access to the latest features and bug fixes without waiting for official releases.

Automatic preview releases are created for all commits and PRs to the main branch. Use them by replacing your package version with the specific commit hash or PR number.

package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
-   "@nuxtjs/strapi": "^2.1.1",
+   "@nuxtjs/strapi": "https://pkg.pr.new/@nuxtjs/strapi@95260d0",
  }
}
pkg.pr.new will automatically comment on PRs with the installation URL, making it easy to test changes.
