Nuxt 4 represents a significant evolution in the Nuxt ecosystem. With a refined project structure, improved developer experience, and powerful new features, it's never been a better time to start building with Nuxt.

What's New in Nuxt 4

Nuxt 4 brings several exciting improvements:

  • New directory structure — The app/ directory is now the default home for your Vue application code
  • Improved TypeScript support — Better type inference and auto-completion out of the box
  • Enhanced performance — Faster builds and smaller bundle sizes
  • Better data fetching — Reworked async data layer for more predictable behavior

Getting Started

Setting up a new Nuxt 4 project is straightforward:

npx nuxi@latest init my-app

This creates a fresh project with all the latest defaults. From there, you can start building your application right away.

Why Nuxt?

Nuxt takes the best of Vue.js and adds powerful conventions and features on top:

  1. File-based routing — No manual route configuration needed
  2. Auto-imports — Components, composables, and utilities are automatically available
  3. Server-side rendering — Built-in SSR for better performance and SEO
  4. Modules ecosystem — Rich ecosystem of modules for common needs

Whether you're building a simple landing page or a complex full-stack application, Nuxt provides the tools and conventions to do it efficiently.
