How to deploy with Now?

Now V2

Note: You cannot deploy a server-side-rendered Nuxt app with Now V2 right now. Please use Now V1 for such apps.

To deploy with ZEIT Now you need to customize package.json add create a now.json config.

• Add now-build script command to package.json:
  • For SPA (without SSR):

    "scripts": {
       ...
       "now-build": "nuxt build --spa"
    }

  • For Static Generated (Pre Rendering):

    "scripts": {
       ...
       "now-build": "nuxt generate"
    }

• Create now.json and define builds

  {
    "version": 2,
    "builds": [
      { "src": "package.json", "use": "@now/static-build" }
    ]
  }

• Run now and enjoy!

Now V1 (legacy)

To deploy with now.sh a package.json like follows is recommended:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "dependencies": {
    "nuxt": "latest"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxt",
    "build": "nuxt build",
    "start": "nuxt start"
  }
}

Then run now and enjoy!

Note: we recommend putting .nuxt in .npmignore or .gitignore.
