Do you need a server to use nuxt.js?


Asked by Emely Little on Dec 08, 2021 FAQ



Nuxt.js supports generating a static website based on your Vue application. It is the "best of both worlds" as you don't need a server but still have SEO benefits because Nuxt will pre-render all pages and include the necessary HTML.
Besides,
The goal with Nuxt is for it to be flexible enough for you to use as a main project base. Because most of what Nuxt does happens during the development phase, you get a lot of features with only a few extra kilobytes added to your JavaScript files. Let’s explore the reasons why you might consider Nuxt for your next Vue project.
In respect to this, With Nuxt, there’s no router file. Instead, Nuxt will generate a new route for each new .vue file in the pages directory. You can even have dynamic routes by adding an underscore ( _) to a directory or a .vue file.
Also Know,
In universal mode, middlewares will be called server-side once (on the first request to the Nuxt app or when page refreshes) and client-side when navigating to further routes. In SPA mode, middlewares will be called client-side on the first request and when navigating to further routes.
Likewise,
To improve SEO, Nuxt.js uses SSR (Server Side Rendering). SSR is fetching AJAX data and rendering Vue.js components into HTML strings on the server (Node.js). It sends them directly to the browser when all asynchronous logic is done, and then finally serves the static markup into a fully interactive app on the client.
