Breaking changes

⚠️ Minimum Node.js version required for Nuxt.js is also increased to 8.0.0 (Current LTS). This allows notable security and performance improvements for both Nuxt and SSR rendering by using native async/awaits and making development easier. So don't forget to upgrade Node to the latest version in both server and your local environment ;)

We have a new internal hook system now, some modules can be broken with 1.0 if they were relying on this.nuxt.plugin(), instead, they will have to use this.hook(), see module hooks documentation.

We removed the internal extensions for .ts, if you want to use TypeScript into Nuxt.js, we recommend you to check out our typescript example.

Deprecation

For the below depreciation, it will still work but you will get a warning to tell you to change your code to the new value.

For better bundling experience for server-side and client-side, we deprecated context.isClient and context.isServer in flavor of process.client and process.server. Since these variables comes from our webpack configuration, it will optimize your client-side and server-side bundles magically 💅

We also deprecated dev property inside build.extend() in flavour of isDev.

Features

We are now ignoring files starting with a - in front of its filename (example: pages/-ignored.vue) (PR #2417)
Layout transitions #1620
Add route.meta (array of matched page .meta) into context, useful for middleware (see details)
Middleware: you can now define middleware as a function, see example
Store: you now have access to this.$router and this.app inside your store actions!
You can set body: true, in your head.script[] to move your scripts at the end of <body> (see example)
nuxt generate --no-build: Useful for conditions when just dynamic routes are being changed. This makes incremental builds much faster.
Hooks: you can extend even further Nuxt by using hooks now, the documentation is coming soon.
New configuration: build.styleResources, check out our style-resources example.
