Series colors follow your theme and color mode through the new `--ui-chart-*` CSS variables: ```vue ``` > [!NOTE] > `@tanstack/charts` is an optional peer dependency, install it to use the component. When the props are not enough, the `definition` prop takes a full TanStack chart definition. ### :globe_with_meridians: Automatic locale with `@nuxtjs/i18n` When `@nuxtjs/i18n` is installed, the [`App`](https://ui.nuxt.com/docs/components/app) component now follows the current i18n locale, and only the Nuxt UI locales matching your `i18n.locales` are bundled. You can drop the `import * as locales` pattern, which shipped every locale in the entry chunk: ```diff - - ``` > [!TIP] > An explicit `locale` prop still wins, see the [i18n guide](https://ui.nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/integrations/i18n/nuxt#automatic-locale). ### :zap: Lighter and faster pages Pages now load up to 27% less JavaScript. A page no longer loads the code of components only other pages use, and overlays are lazy loaded: the menu of `Header`, `Sidebar` and `DashboardSidebar`, the command palette of `DashboardSearch` and `ContentSearch`, and the toasts of `Toaster`. | | v4.11.3 | v4.12.0 | | --- | --: | --: | | JS | 871.6 kB | 549.6 kB | | JS (gzip) | 251.9 kB | 183.9 kB | > [!NOTE] > `UButton` also mounts about 38% faster and each item of an open `DropdownMenu` about 30% faster, since link props are now picked without a reactive proxy. ## :rocket: Features * **App:** follow the `@nuxtjs/i18n` locale

changes](https://github.com/nuxt/fonts/compare/v1.0.0...v1.0.1) ### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Build - prepare before prepack step ([`e2777f9`](https://github.com/nuxt/fonts/commit/e2777f9)) ### โค๏ธ Contributors - Daniel Roe (@danielroe) --- ## v1.0.0 (nuxt/fonts) - 2026-10-11 [Release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/fonts/releases/tag/v1.0.0) > v1.0.0 is the first stable release of Nuxt Fonts. Nuxt Fonts has been in production use for over a year, and the underlying stack it is built on has now stabilised: [`unifont`](https://unifont.dev), [`fontaine`](https://github.com/unjs/fontaine) and [`fontless`](https://github.com/nuxt/fontless) all reached v1 alongside this release. - `unifont` resolves font metadata from providers - `fontaine` uses that metadata to cut layout shift - `fontless` does the whole thing in Vite with zero config โ€ฆ and of course, `@nuxt/fonts` wraps all three and wires them into Nuxt. Most projects should be able to upgrade simply by bumping the version, but read on for full details...! ## ๐Ÿšจ Breaking (or significant) changes ### Font metadata is cached per project Font metadata and downloaded font files are now cached in `node_modules/.cache/nuxt/fonts/meta` relative to your project root rather than to the directory you run Nuxt from. The first build after upgrading will re-resolve and re-download fonts. You can now configure the location with the [`cache`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/configuration#cache) option, pass your own [unstorage](https://unstorage.unjs.io/) instance, or disable persistent caching with `cache: false`. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { cache: '.cache/fonts', }, }) ``` ### Font failures fail production builds [`throwOnError`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/configuration#throwonerror) now defaults to `true` outside of dev mode. Rather than producing a build with a missing font, the build fails when a provider errors, when a font file cannot be downloaded after retries, or when you set `provider` on a family and that provider does not contain it. A family that cannot be found by any provider still warns rather than failing, as does an unknown provider name, so fonts you declare yourself in CSS are unaffected. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { throwOnError: false, }, }) ``` ### Family-level `@font-face` descriptors now apply to provider fonts `display` and `unicodeRange` set on a family were previously only honoured for families you declared manually with `src`, and were silently dropped for fonts resolved from a provider. They now apply in both cases. Descriptors other than `display`, `weight` and `style` (such as `stretch`, `featureSettings` and `variationSettings`) are also no longer dropped from manually declared families. If you set any of these options on a family and relied on them being ignored, your generated CSS will change. Setting `unicodeRange` on a family marks it as subsetted, so it is no longer preloaded by default; set [`preload`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/configuration#preload) explicitly if you still want a preload link for it. ### Injected `@font-face` rules are minified with `lightningcss` Generated `@font-face` declarations were previously minified with esbuild unless you had opted into `css.lightningcss`. They are now always minified with lightningcss, so the exact serialisation of the CSS we inject may differ (for example `local(Font Name)` rather than `local("Font Name")`). This is cosmetic, but it will show up in snapshot tests. ### The default `400 700` weight range is applied `weights` has always been documented as defaulting to `['400 700']`, but the default was set on the wrong option and never reached the resolver, so families without an explicit `weights` resolved at weight `400` alone. The documented default now takes effect ([#619](https://github.com/nuxt/fonts/issues/619)). A family you didn't set `weights` on will resolve a bold face as well as a regular one, so expect additional `@font-face` rules and an additional file downloaded per family. Text that silently fell back to a synthesised bold will now render in the real one. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { defaults: { weights: [400], }, }, }) ``` ### Fonts are served from `/_nuxt/fonts` in Vite builds Production builds with the Vite builder now emit font files as Vite build assets under `app.buildAssetsDir`, so they are served from `/_nuxt/fonts/.woff2` rather than `/_fonts/.woff2`. Vite owns their URLs, which means `app.cdnURL`, a relative `app.baseURL` and `experimental.renderBuiltUrl` all now apply to fonts as they do to every other built asset. The location of a font file is an implementation detail rather than a stable URL contract. If you have hard-coded `/_fonts/` anywhere (a CDN rule, a CSP directive, a cache header, a test), point it at your build assets directory instead. Fonts are still served from `/_fonts` in development and with the webpack and rspack builders. ### `app.cdnURL` now applies to fonts This follows from the change above. `cdnURL` was previously never applied to font URLs, so fonts were always served same-origin. They now come from your CDN. > [!IMPORTANT] > Browsers always fetch fonts in CORS mode, so the CDN must respond with an `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header that covers your site. Without it, fonts that previously loaded fail silently and the browser falls back to the next family in the stack. If you set `cdnURL` and don't control the headers on it, check this before upgrading. ### `assets.prefix` is relative to `buildAssetsDir` in Vite builds `assets.prefix` now names a directory inside `app.buildAssetsDir` in Vite production builds, and defaults to `fonts`. Setting `prefix: '/my-fonts'` serves fonts from `/_nuxt/my-fonts` rather than from `/my-fonts`. It remains a public path in development and with the webpack and rspack builders. ### `global: true` families get font fallback metrics `global` is the escape hatch for fonts we can't detect from your CSS, but until now that meant the fonts most likely to cause layout shift were the ones we did least about: the `@font-face` went into a global stylesheet and no fallback metric overrides were generated at all. We now generate those overrides at every usage site we can see, so `font-family: 'Anton'` in a component becomes `font-family: 'Anton', 'Anton Fallback: Arial', ...` with the matching `size-adjust` and `ascent-override` rules alongside it, exactly as it would for a family that wasn't declared globally. The `@font-face` rule itself still comes from the global stylesheet and isn't duplicated, and preload hints are unchanged. Usage we can't scan (an SVG, a family chosen at runtime) keeps working as before. Set `fallbacks: []` on the family if you don't want the fallback rules. ### The `local` provider only scans layer `public/` directories The [`local` provider](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/providers#local) previously scanned every directory in `nitro.publicAssets`, including those that modules register for their own files. It now scans only the `public/` directory of your project and of each layer. If you relied on fonts in another `nitro.publicAssets` directory, add it to [`local.dirs`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/providers#fonts-installed-from-npm): ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { local: { dirs: ['../some-module/fonts'], }, }, }) ``` ## โš ๏ธ Deprecations ### `experimental.processCSSVariables` `fonts.experimental.processCSSVariables` has moved to `fonts.processCSSVariables`. The old location still works and now warns. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { processCSSVariables: true, }, }) ``` ### `fonts:public-asset-context` Use [`fonts:resolved`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/advanced#fontsresolved) instead. It reports each family as it is resolved, with the URL every font file is served from and a `readFont()` to read its contents, so there's no need to reconstruct paths from the asset context. (The old hook still works.) ## โœจ Features ### A new DevTools panel The Fonts panel in [Nuxt DevTools](https://devtools.nuxt.com) has been rebuilt on `fontless`. It lists every family resolved for your app, the provider that served it, the faces generated for it, where each one is used, and any warnings raised while resolving it. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/287f08a8-f92e-4a3d-a585-ab4ea80432db ### webpack and rspack support Nuxt Fonts now works with the webpack and rspack builders. Previously our CSS transform ran after `css-loader` had already turned stylesheets into JavaScript modules, so no `@font-face` rule was ever injected, and a family declared with `global: true` failed the client build outright. The transform now runs immediately before `css-loader`, which means it sees your styles after Sass and PostCSS have run, so a family named only through a preprocessor variable is detected too. There's nothing to change on your side, but a build that silently shipped no web fonts will now download them and serve them from `/_fonts`. ### Arbitrary variable axes Variable font axes beyond `wght` now resolve from providers that publish them, so you can ask for `wdth`, `slnt`, `opsz` and more. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { families: [ { name: 'Roboto Flex', provider: 'google', providerOptions: { google: { experimental: { variableAxis: { wdth: [['75', '100']] }, }, }, }, }, ], }, }) ``` ### Subsetting fonts to the glyphs you use The new `glyphs` option reduces every font file we emit to the characters needed to render the text you give it, which can dramatically cut the bytes shipped for icon fonts and single-language sites. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { defaults: { glyphs: 'Handgloves & 0123', }, }, }) ``` Where a provider can subset server-side the characters are passed through to it, so the full file is never downloaded. Every other file is subsetted after download, which needs the [`subset-font`](https://github.com/papandreou/subset-font) package; we'll offer to install it the first time you run Nuxt with `glyphs` set. > [!IMPORTANT] > Before enabling subsetting, make sure the font licence allows you to do so. Many do not. ### Preloading by subset [`preload`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/configuration#preload) (on `defaults` and on individual `families`) accepts `{ subsets: [...] }` or a filter function, so you can preload just the subsets your app needs. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { defaults: { preload: { subsets: ['latin'] }, }, }, }) ``` ### Named font weights `weights` accepts CSS keywords (`normal`, `bold`, `light`, ...) in config, and the `local` provider recognises them in filenames, so `MyFont-Bold.woff2` is picked up as weight `700`. ### Scanning additional local font directories The `local` provider can scan directories beyond `public/`, and now reports which filenames it looked for when a family cannot be resolved, which makes misnamed files much easier to debug. ```ts export default defineNuxtConfig({ fonts: { local: { paths: ['assets/fonts'], }, }, }) ``` ### Reuse resolved fonts from another module Modules that need the fonts your app already uses - for example, to [render an OG image](https://github.com/nuxt-modules/og-image/) or a PDF - had to reverse-engineer internal build machinery to find them, then re-resolve and re-download the same families themselves. The new `fonts:resolved` hook reports each family as it is resolved, with the URL every font file is served from and a `readFont()` to read its contents, so nothing has to be resolved or downloaded more than once. ```ts const files = new Map Promise>() nuxt.hook('fonts:resolved', (font) => { for (const file of font.files) { files.set(file.url, file.readFont) } }) ``` Listeners run while your stylesheets are transformed, so collect what you need and call `readFont()` later. See [the hook documentation](https://fonts.nuxt.com/advanced#fontsresolved). ### Custom CSS variable prefixes [`processCSSVariables`](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/configuration#processcssvariables) accepts a custom prefix, so `processCSSVariables: 'my-app'` processes `--my-app-*` variables only. ## ๐Ÿฉน Fixes - Font asset URLs respect the app `baseURL` and a custom `cdnURL` - Inlined `@font-face` rules are deduplicated in the rendered HTML - Font downloads are retried before a build is failed - Local variable fonts with weight ranges resolve correctly - Fallback metrics are generated for fonts in the public directory - Nitro v3 and Nuxt 5 compatibility - Devtools UI works under a custom `baseURL` and with `@nuxt/devtools` v4 - Deprecated `experimental.processCSSVariables` now warns rather than being silently ignored - Dev font server errors are passed to the next middleware instead of hanging the request - Multiple `families` entries sharing a name are all applied - The `local` provider detects camel-cased variable font markers in filenames - Font faces injected into bundled CSS resolve their URLs correctly - Hoisted global font faces are minified - Fallbacks are not regenerated for already-transformed declarations - The `local` provider no longer scans `nitro.publicAssets` directories registered by modules ## ๐Ÿ™ Thank you Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to `@nuxt/fonts`, `unifont`, `fontaine` and `fontless` to get us here. โค๏ธ ## ๐Ÿš€ How to upgrade After upgrading to the latest version, clear your font cache and rebuild: ```bash rm -rf node_modules/.cache/nuxt/fonts ``` Please read the [upgrade guide](https://fonts.nuxt.com/get-started/upgrade) for the full detail, and let me know how you get on! ๐Ÿ™ ## ๐Ÿ‘‰ Changelog [compare changes](https://github.com/nuxt/fonts/compare/v0.14.0...v1.0.0) ### ๐Ÿš€ Enhancements -

2026-10-05 [Release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/releases/tag/v4.6.0) > v4.6.0 is the next minor release. ## ๐Ÿ“ฃ Some news ### ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Nuxt CLI v4 Alongside the release of Nuxt v4.6, today also brings a new major release of the Nuxt CLI: **`@nuxt/cli` v4**. It ships as a dependency of `nuxt`, so you'll get it automatically when you upgrade. Most of what's new is in `nuxt dev`: - **an interactive terminal UI**, showing URLs, startup progress and keyboard shortcuts, with panels to dive into error logs, routes, network requests and more - **the dev server gives you more info**, such as why it reloaded or restarted, which `nuxt.config` keys changed, where the time went during a slow start or build, and how long each module took to set up - **a CLI-level error channel** rendered with `my-bad` (see below), powering things like automatically reloading when a syntax error in `nuxt.config.ts` is fixed - **a lock file** in `.nuxt/`, which lets a second `nuxt dev` (say, one started by an agent) take over or defer to the one you started, and powers new `nuxt curl` and `nuxt task` commands that talk to the running server There's also a new `nuxt docs ""` search, and `nuxt preview --takeover` can replace a running preview server. And in general `nuxt/cli` is a ***lot*** smaller and starts a ***lot*** faster: | | v3.37 | v4.0 | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `@nuxt/cli` install size | 13.1 MB | 3.5 MB | **-73%** | | `@nuxt/cli` dependencies | 70 | 31 | **-56%** | | `nuxt dev`: first paint | 330 ms | 50 ms | **6.6x faster** | | `nuxt dev`: port bound | 338 ms | 104 ms | **3.2x faster** | | `nuxt dev`: memory at rest (Linux) | 630 MB | 440 MB | **-30%** | nuxt-dev Although this is a major version, none of the changes should be breaking for Nuxt v4 users: we require Node.js v22.21+, v24.11+ or v26+, we drop `nuxt init` and only support `npm create nuxt@latest`, and Nuxt 2 and `@nuxt/bridge` are no longer supported. ๐Ÿ‘‰ **Check out the full [Nuxt CLI v4 release notes](https://github.com/nuxt/cli/releases/tag/v4.0.0) for everything that's changed.** ### ๐Ÿ’ก A server-agnostic Nuxt The biggest thing about this release is our move towards making Nuxt server-agnostic. I feel that freedom of choice is very much a fundamental value of the web, and one that unites the whole Nuxt team. You can use `pages/` (with vue-router) or not. You can use Vite, webpack or Rspack to bundle your code. You can pick from dozens of providers to deploy to, pick any image or font provider, choose any database adapter. In every case, the framework is the same. The server side was different. `#app` composables imported h3 types, server code imported from `h3` and `nitropack`, and every module that touched the server was tied to whichever major version of those packages Nuxt happened to depend on. This has become particularly clear as we have been upgrading to new majors of h3 and nitro, which ship breaking changes with a cascading effect throughout the whole ecosystem. ๐Ÿ‘‰ **This release changes that.** Alongside explicitly defining our public API in `nuxt/kit` (which now does not refer to external packages), Nuxt now specifies our own types for the request event, route rules and typed `$fetch`, and we expose an import surface (`nuxt/server`) for the server utilities that will be needed by most apps. This is the culmination of work we started almost a year ago, making it possible to use any server builder with Nuxt, not just Nitro ([#33462](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/33462)). Of course, under the hood, `nuxt/server` is still powered by Nitro by default - though we are also announcing a second, experimental implementation, `@nuxt/vite-server`, which allows pure-Vite server builds using the [Vite Environment API](https://vite.dev/guide/api-environment#environment-api). > [!IMPORTANT] > We believe that Nitro is still the right choice for almost everyone. ๐ŸŒŸ We see a number of key benefits for `nuxt/server`. 1. **it smooths the upgrade to Nuxt 5**, which moves to Nitro v3 and h3 v2. Server code written against `nuxt/server` on 4.6 runs unchanged there, so a module can ship one file for both. 2. **it decouples Nuxt from the Nitro release cycle**. Because we 'own' the API, we can adapt to breaking changes in Nitro or h3 without requiring a future major - and we can release Nuxt majors without having to wait for upstream releases. 3. **it makes Nuxt's code more maintainable**. It helps us preserve the separation of concerns between our API - `/app` and `/server` - and the bundler + server that you ultimately want to build your app. ... and there are a number of other benefits too, from a single type surface to being able to iterate more quickly on features. Finally, I want to say a special thank-you to [@pi0](https://github.com/pi0), whose relentless focus on server agnosticism and work on h3, Nitro and web-standard server primitives over the last few years is what makes a portable `RequestEvent` possible at all. Thank you, Pooya. โค๏ธ Almost every feature in this release is already in the Nuxt 5 branch, and most of the remaining Nuxt 5 defaults can be tested today with `future.compatibilityVersion: 5` (more details below!). > [!TIP] > Nuxt 3 reached end-of-life on July 31, 2026, so there is no 3.x release alongside this one. If you're still on v3, the [upgrade guide](https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/upgrade) is waiting for you. ## ๐Ÿ‘€ Highlights ๐Ÿคท If you've read this far I'm afraid I have bad news for you: there's a lot more still to say! Nuxt 4.6 is one of our biggest minor releases, with over 420 commits since v4.5.2. ... so, you might want to grab a coffee! โ˜•๏ธ ### ๐Ÿงฉ `nuxt/server` It has been asked for for a long time, and it now exists ([#36275](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36275))! `nuxt/server` is a new import source for server code: handlers, middleware and utilities - a complement to `nuxt/app`. Where `nuxt/app` is for the part of your application that also runs in the browser, `nuxt/server` is for the part that only runs on the server. ```ts [server/api/hello.ts] import { defineEventHandler, getQuery } from 'nuxt/server' export default defineEventHandler((event) => { const { name } = getQuery<{ name?: string }>(event) return { message: `Hello, ${name ?? 'world'}!` } }) ``` The utilities use web standards and are typed against a portable `RequestEvent`: ```ts event.req // Request event.url // URL event.res // { status, statusText, headers } event.res.headers // Headers event.context // per-request context ``` Under `@nuxt/nitro-server` they are backed by Nitro and h3, but you never import from either. So the same handler runs under Nitro v2, Nitro v3 or `@nuxt/vite-server`, and a module that imports from `nuxt/server` doesn't need a peer dependency on `h3` or `nitropack`. We think this will make a big difference in smoothing out the upgrade to Nuxt v5 and Nitro v3. There is a typing benefit too. We no longer hoist h3 or Nitro types into your app to type `useRequestEvent`, `$fetch` or route rules, which removes a source of type conflicts when versions differ ([#36212](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36212), [#36214](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36214), [#36293](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36293)). The surface is small, and covers what published modules and user code typically need: `defineEventHandler`, `createError`/`isNuxtError`, request URL, headers, query, body (plain and validated with any [Standard Schema](https://standardschema.dev) library or a function), cookies, redirects, response status, `getRouterParam(s)`, `getRequestIP`, `handleCors`, `getRouteRules`, `useRuntimeConfig`, `useAppConfig` and sessions. ```ts [server/api/users.post.ts] import { defineEventHandler, readValidatedBody } from 'nuxt/server' import { z } from 'zod' export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => { const user = await readValidatedBody(event, z.object({ name: z.string() })) return { created: user.name } }) ``` We encourage you to use web APIs (`event.req.headers`, for example), or raise an issue if there's functionality you're missing from `nuxt/server` ๐Ÿ™ If you do need to step outside `nuxt/server` for a particular handler, don't worry! Nothing has been taken away: import `defineEventHandler` and the helpers you need from `h3` or `nitropack/runtime` as before, and that handler works exactly as it did on Nuxt 4.5. ```ts [server/api/upload.post.ts] import { defineEventHandler, readMultipartFormData } from 'h3' export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => { const parts = await readMultipartFormData(event) return { received: parts?.length ?? 0 } }) ``` > [!IMPORTANT] > On Nuxt 4, the _auto-imported_ `defineEventHandler`, `getQuery`, `readBody` and the rest are still h3's own helpers, which take a different shape of event. Import from `nuxt/server` explicitly, including `defineEventHandler` to use the new server runtime. If you mix the two, you'll see a `NUXT_E8012` error which should tell you which import to change. A few helpers also behave differently from their h3 v1 namesakes: `sendRedirect` returns the response rather than sending it, `createError` takes `status` and `statusText`, and response headers are set through `event.res.headers`. The upgrade guide has [a table of the differences](https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/upgrade#moving-to-nuxtserver). Nothing in this release _requires_ a migration. But if you have server code you'd like to make portable ahead of Nuxt 5, this is the best way. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read the [server imports guide](https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/server-imports). ### ๐Ÿ” `appSecret` and sessions Nuxt now has a root application secret: `runtimeConfig.appSecret`, set with `NUXT_APP_SECRET` ([#35874](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35874), thanks to [@onmax](https://github.com/onmax)). Modules and server features derive purpose-specific secrets from it with `deriveSecret(purpose)`, so `NUXT_APP_SECRET` is the only secret you need to configure. ```bash openssl rand -base64 32 ``` In development Nuxt generates and persists one if none is configured (and warns the first time a derived secret is used). Builds never generate one. The first thing to use it is a set of session helpers in `nuxt/server` ([#36358](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36358)). Sessions are sealed into a cookie with [iron](https://github.com/brc-dd/iron-webcrypto), so there's no server-side storage to configure: ```ts [server/api/visits.ts] import { defineEventHandler, useSession } from 'nuxt/server' export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => { const session = await useSession<{ visits: number }>(event) await session.update(data => ({ visits: (data.visits ?? 0) + 1 })) return { visits: session.data.visits } }) ``` > [!NOTE] > As a reminder, runtime config keys prefixed with `app` (`runtimeConfig.app`, `runtimeConfig.appSecret`) are reserved for Nuxt. ### ๐ŸŽฏ Typed `$fetch`, rebuilt `$fetch` and `useFetch` have been typed from your server routes for a long time. But the types were derived from Nitro's `InternalApi` interface, and past a few hundred routes they hit TypeScript's instantiation limit with the familiar `TS2589: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite`. We've rebuilt typed fetch on top of [`fetchdts`](https://github.com/danielroe/fetchdts) ([#36238](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36238)). Nuxt compiles your server routes into a route tree with an exact-match table for static paths and accessors specialised to your route set. Resolution cost now scales with call sites, not with route count: | routes | before | after | | - | - | - | | 100 | 1,397,361 instantiations / 0.77s | 51,558 / 0.26s | | 300 | 5,774,425 / 3.49s (`TS2589`) | 51,558 / 0.16s | | 1000 | 12,831,467 / 7.44s (`TS2589`) | 51,558 / 0.20s | | 3000 (200 call sites) | 71,875,148 / 53.63s (`TS2589`) | 101,678 / 0.62s | Peak memory for the same runs dropped from 946 MB to 140 MB. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Plus, the route set also carries the `body`, `query` and `headers` a handler validates, so calls are checked more tightly than before: ```ts // server/api/users.post.ts validates { title: string, count: number } await $fetch('/api/users', { method: 'post', body: { title: 'a', count: 1 } }) await $fetch('/api/users', { method: 'post', body: { title: 'a', count: 'no' } }) // ^ not assignable to number await $fetch('/api/users', { method: 'post' }) // ^ body is required ``` On Nuxt 4 this is opt-in, because there are small changes to type inference, and hand-written `ServerRoutes` augmentations need a small rewrite. It is the default in Nuxt 5. ```ts [nuxt.config.ts] export default defineNuxtConfig({ experimental: { routeTypedFetch: true, }, }) ``` There's also a new `experimental.strictRouteTypes` option to reject calls to paths that don't exist (otherwise these just return `unknown`), and an `'isomorphic'` mode that types your pages as `GET` routes too if you want to be able to `$fetch` from the Vue renderer with type safety. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read more in the [experimental features docs](https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/experimental-features#routetypedfetch). ### ๐Ÿ› Better errors in development with `my-bad` Server-side errors in development used to look like this: ``` ReferenceError: foo is not defined at Object. (/_nuxt/app/pages/index.vue:1:1) ``` There was no source position or code frame, and the Youch iframe we rendered could not show you the frame in your own source either. Both are now fixed ([#36258](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36258), [nuxt/cli#1518](https://github.com/nuxt/cli/pull/1518)). Dev SSR stack traces are now mapped before anything reads the error, and the Youch overlay has been replaced with [`my-bad`](https://github.com/danielroe/my-bad). It renders into your app's own error page as an overlay (or as a standalone page when the app can't render one), with the mapped stack trace and a code frame from your source, and the same report is printed in your terminal. We are still working with [@atinux](https://github.com/atinux), [@HugoRCD](https://github.com/HugoRCD) and [@antfu](https://github.com/antfu) to make these pages nicer still. my-bad-ssr-expanded-dark my-bad-ssr-copymenu-dark With Nuxt CLI v4, there is a single live error channel at the CLI level. It survives worker restarts, so (for example) a syntax error in `nuxt.config.ts` will live-reload the page once you fix it. Each error is rendered once rather than at every layer it passes through, and the same channel streams build progress and app logs to the dev panel. ### ๐ŸŽจ A new loading screen, 404 and error pages [@HugoRCD](https://github.com/HugoRCD) has redrawn the loading screen you see while the dev server starts. It is now a WebGL2 particle field that traces a mountain range behind the Nuxt lockup ([#36178](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36178)), using a single shader and a single draw call. Without WebGL2 it falls back to the static lockup, and with `prefers-reduced-motion` the animation stops. Try hovering over it. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ Hugo also gave the built-in 404 and error pages a neutral palette and lighter type ([#36255](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36255)), and [@MirkoJa](https://github.com/MirkoJa) added a back button to the 404 page ([#35688](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35688)). 404-page-dark ### โšก๏ธ Vue Vapor support Nuxt now supports Vue 3.6's [Vapor Mode](https://github.com/vuejs/core/releases/tag/v3.6.0-rc.1#about-vapor-mode) in interop mode ([#35759](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35759)). Your app root stays on the virtual DOM, and you can opt individual components or pages into Vapor by adding the `vapor` attribute to ` ``` Routing, `useAsyncData`, layouts and most built-in components keep working unchanged. Along the way we made the auto-import loader, `useAsyncData`, `definePageMeta` and slot inspection Vapor-aware, and we now have a Vapor test suite so we can track what's supported. > [!NOTE] > This requires Vue `^3.6.0-rc.2` or newer. See the [known limitations](https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/concepts/vuejs-development#known-limitations) and try it in a fresh project first. ### ๐Ÿงฉ Addons for `useFetch` and `useAsyncData` [@cernymatej](https://github.com/cernymatej) has added an `addons` option to the `createUseFetch` and `createUseAsyncData` factories ([#35797](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35797)). An addon can declare custom call-site options, adjust the merged options, wrap the handler with middleware, and extend what the composable returns, and it can be reused across as many custom instances as you like. ```ts [app/composables/useApiFetch.ts] const refreshOnFocus = defineUseFetchAddon({ setup: (options: UseFetchAddonOptions<{ refreshOnFocus?: boolean }>) => { if (import.meta.server || !options.refreshOnFocus) { return } return (asyncData) => { const focused = useWindowFocus() watch(focused, focused => focused && asyncData.refresh()) return { focused } } }, }) export const useApiFetch = createUseFetch({ baseURL: '/api', addons: [refreshOnFocus] }) ``` ```vue [app/pages/todos.vue] ``` This resolves a long list of feature requests for `useAsyncData` and `useFetch` (refresh on focus, polling, retries, auth headers and more) without making the core composables opinionated about any of them. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Read about [`defineUseFetchAddon`](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/define-use-fetch-addon) and [`defineUseAsyncDataAddon`](https://nuxt.com/docs/api/utils/define-use-async-data-addon). ### ๐Ÿš€ Performance There is a lot of performance work in this release. - **`` renders 58% faster on the server** ([#36015](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36015)). Internal links are now rendered as a plain `` with no `useLink`, no computed and no reactive state. Rendering 200 links went from 1.36ms to 0.57ms, which is 1.4x faster than a bare ``. - **Early 404s** ([#36117](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36117)). With `experimental.early404`, page routes are compiled into a static matcher at build time and requests that can't match any page skip creating the Vue app, running plugins and middleware entirely. On an app with 30 pages and ~23ms of boot work per render, a JSON 404 went from 37.1ms to 0.3ms. - **Templates declare their dependencies** ([#35875](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35875)). The virtual file templates used in Nuxt's build used to regenerate on every file change. They now declare what invalidates them, so editing a component regenerates 0 of 49 core templates instead of all of them, and the `builder:watch` hook settles in 0.6ms instead of 36ms. - **Cookie jars** ([#36114](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36114)). `useCookie` parses the cookie header once per request (or once per microtask on the client) instead of on every call. A nice side effect: a cookie set in a plugin during SSR can now be read by a later `useCookie` in a page. - **`ssr: false` pages are tree-shaken from the server bundle** ([#35836](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35836), thanks to [@Austin1serb](https://github.com/Austin1serb)). - **Serializable `definePageMeta` keys are extracted at build time** ([#35919](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35919)), behind `experimental.extractSerializablePageMeta`. - **Faster dev server warm-up**: Vite's server module graph is warmed before the client ([#36154](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36154)), the client graph is crawled during warm-up ([#35870](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35870)), and warm-up yields to your first navigation so it never competes with a real request ([#36412](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36412)). - **Smaller client bundle**: `unctx` is no longer shipped to the browser and `defu` is skipped for a single `app.config` ([#36371](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36371)). - **Fewer dependencies**: `@nuxt/kit` no longer depends on `c12`, `untyped`, `confbox`, `pkg-types`, `ufo` or `mlly`, and `jiti` and `giget` are now optional peers loaded only when needed ([#35936](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35936), [#35943](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35943), [#35946](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35946), [#36071](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36071), [#36073](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36073), [#36083](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36083)). - Lazy impound tracing for builds ([#36172](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36172)), virtual module hooks filtered by id ([#36077](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36077)), `isVue` checks migrated to plugin filters ([#36116](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36116)) and an `flru` prerender cache ([#36340](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36340)). Put together, on our benchmark machine (arm64 Linux, Node 24.15, medians of 5 runs): | | v4.5.2 | v4.6.0 | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `@nuxt/kit` install size | 6.4 MB | 2.1 MB | **-67%** | | `@nuxt/kit` transitive dependencies | 36 | 22 | **-39%** | | `nuxt build`, starter | 4.4 s | 3.6 s | **-18%** | | `nuxt build`, 200 pages / 200 components / 50 routes | 11.6 s | 10.3 s | **-11%** | | SSR throughput, page with 300 ``s | 110 req/s | 140 req/s | **+26%** | Dev server start-up (spawn to first HTML) on the same machine is about 12% faster on a starter app, with the second request served in roughly half the time, though the CLI major changed alongside so not all of that is Nuxt. ### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Lighter payloads `useAsyncData` and `useFetch` accept a `serialize: false` option to keep data out of the `__NUXT_DATA__` payload ([#35779](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35779)). That's most useful inside components that never hydrate, and `experimental.stripNeverHydratedData` applies it automatically to data fetched within `hydrate-never` component trees. Nuxt also warns in development when a page's payload exceeds 100 kB ([#35777](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35777)) and when a route rendered with `noScripts` relies on client-side JavaScript ([#35780](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35780)), and `noScripts` pages keep their non-script resource hints and attach their styles correctly ([#35803](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35803), [#36356](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36356), [#36359](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36359)). `` now prefetches server-page islands ([#35808](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35808)), and [@atinux](https://github.com/atinux) made prefetch hints throttled and prioritised so a page full of links doesn't flood the network ([#36261](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36261), [#36324](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36324)). Building on that, route chunks, layouts, middleware, payloads, islands and resource hints all now go through one client prefetch scheduler with per-kind concurrency caps, deduplication by key, and cancellation of in-flight work when you navigate away ([#36391](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/36391)). ### ๐Ÿ”ฎ Nuxt 5 features, today Most of what's new in Nuxt 5 is already in 4.6, either as the default or behind a flag. `future.compatibilityVersion: 5` turns on the Nuxt 5 defaults in one go, and every one of them can be enabled (or disabled) individually. ```ts [nuxt.config.ts] export default defineNuxtConfig({ future: { compatibilityVersion: 5, }, }) ``` Newly gated behind the flag in this release: - **Typed pages** (`experimental.typedPages`) ([#35789](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35789)) - **Typed `$fetch`** (`experimental.routeTypedFetch`), described above - **Case-sensitive routing**, matching Nitro ([#35650](https://github.com/nuxt/nuxt/pull/35650), thanks to [@Mateleo](https://github.com/Mateleo)) - **Early return from `navigateTo`** (`experimental.navigateToEarlyReturn`): `navigateTo` in `
