Summary

Nuxt.js, an open-source framework for web applications, introduced version 2.13, which enhances support for static apps by distinguishing between server-side rendered and static applications with a new full-static mode. This update addresses previous issues such as unnecessary full app rebuilds during deployment, by allowing the use of a cache to speed up the process. The introduction of the target option in the configuration file enables users to specify how Nuxt should handle their app, optimizing it for static generation. In this mode, pages are prerendered as HTML and HTTP requests are stored in JS files for faster client-side navigation, significantly reducing load times. Additionally, Nuxt 2.13 includes a built-in crawler to automatically detect and generate dynamic links, simplifying the configuration process for developers. The update also allows for better local testing of production builds and offers customization of the generation process, making it easier to manage changes and deployments.
