Steps

  1. Remove the render key in your nuxt.config.
  2. Any files in ~/server/api and ~/server/middleware will be automatically registered; you can remove them from your serverMiddleware array.
  3. Update any other items in your serverMiddleware array to point to files or npm packages directly, rather than using inline functions.
