nuxt 2.5.0 on Node.js Yarn

15,000 line changes with 230 squashed commits by more than 30 contributors made this version possible! ❤️

What's new?

Typescript DX

No longer needed to install nuxt-ts for typescript support. Nuxt.js officially supports TS by installing @nuxt/typescript. Please see #5079 for reasons behind such migration.

Babel

Babel 7.4, Core-js v3, and Object.assign polyfill for better browser support.

Stability

More than 30 fixes, refactors and performance improvements.

Open in Browser

Use nuxt dev -o to instantly open project in the browser and enjoy a cool loading screen:

.nuxtignore

Before v2.5, you were able to ignore files through an ignore prefix. As using the prefix over and over, ignoring files (and implementing custom structures) was a bit tedious on the long run. We came up with something more sophisticated: A .nuxtignore file. Following the same specs as a .eslintignore or a .gitignore file, you can now define what files or folders to ignore through a .nuxtignore file in your project root.

Examples and more info in the .nuxtignore docs

[IMPORTANT] Migration Guide

Lock Files

For a clean upgrade, please remove yarn.lock / package-lock.json file from your project before upgrade.

Programmatic API / Middleware

If not already done, please explicitly call nuxt.ready() after new Nuxt(). nuxt.ready() was always async, but not awaiting the function call has now a severe impact.

   const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)
++ await nuxt.ready()

TypeScript

Please replace nuxt-ts dependency and use nuxt + @nuxt/typescript. (Also nuxt-ts-edge to nuxt-edge + @nuxt/typescript-edge for edge users)

{
--  "nuxt-ts": "^2.4.2"
++  "@nuxt/typescript": "^2.5.0"
++  "nuxt": "^2.5.0"
}

Configuration API to customize/disable type checking has been moved from build.useForkTsChecker to build.typescript.typeCheck. Please see #5079 for more details.

build: {
-- useForkTsChecker: false // or ForkTsChecker options
++ typescript : {
++   typeCheck: false // or ForkTsChecker options
++ }
}
