It no longer receives bug fixes or security patches. Upgrade to Nuxt 4 or get extended support from HeroDevs

Server

Learn how to migrate from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 server.

In a built Nuxt 3 application, there is no runtime Nuxt dependency. That means your site will be highly performant, and ultra-slim. But it also means you can no longer hook into runtime Nuxt server hooks.

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.
