What’s new in Nuxt 3

Nuxt 3, launched in beta on October 12, 2021, introduces significant updates to the Nuxt and Vue developer ecosystems, with a focus on improved performance, lighter builds, and a rearchitected framework. Key features include the Nitro engine for full-stack capabilities and serverless functionality, a forward-compatibility layer called Nuxt Bridge for easier migration from Nuxt 2, and support for Vue 3 and Vite. The new version also simplifies project structure by making the pages directory optional and introduces a composables directory for auto-importing Vue composables. Despite these advancements, developers are advised to exercise caution and refrain from using Nuxt 3 in production until a stable release is available.
