💚 Ready for a new video this week? I'll showcase FIVE features that
@vuejs
lacks (in my opinion) - and it isn't unrealistic we get most of them in the future 🔥
Anything coming to your mind? You should check out if it made it on the list

Performance in
@nuxt_js
is amazing by default! But when building your app, you still have to keep quite some things in mind 👀
In the first video of the "Nuxt Performance In Depth" series, we explore the Nuxt payload and figure how to make it smaller! 💚

Did you know that
@nuxt_js
allows you to auto import files from arbitrary folders? You just need a few lines of configuration for it 🙌🏻
Be aware this does *not* override already auto-imported folders like `composables` or `utils`.

💚 Nitro and
@nuxt_js
are a dream team. But in the last months, more and more people were asking if they can user other backend frameworks with Nuxt. While it is easily possible as a separate instance, I wondered - can we have them *inside Nitro*?

Since late 2017, I always tried to contribute to Nuxt in the best way I could - no matter if as contributor, insider, maintainer or core team member.
Very happy to be officially part of the

We're delighted to welcome three new contributors to the Nuxt team:
@TheAlexLichter

@li_hbr
and
@harlan_zw

Some time as passed since the last 🔥
@nuxt_js
tip. It's time for another one!
Did you know that you can use ESM Syntax in your nuxt.config.js (import/export default) out of the box? 🤔
Same goes for serverMiddleware, plugins, modules and so on 🙌🏼
PS: It's recommended to do so

Testing is important to ensure a reliable application - but nevertheless I've seen quite
@nuxt_js
projects without tests.
But you can change that now! 💥

It is one thing to improve the HMR performance + DX of

in a PR - but it is another thing to submit PRs to all public repos so these projects benefit from it *straight away*.

🔥 It's time for another Nuxt tip!
Some modules (like nuxt-purgecss or nuxt-bundle-buddy) should only be used in prod *or* dev, not both.
Though most of the modules have a way to toggle themselves, you still have to include them in your direct dependencies.
Not anymore! 🎉

Nuxt developers know that
@nuxt_js
and Nitro go hand in hand.
But I noticed the separation between both blurs & questions arise:
How to use composables in /server?

Today's 🔥
@nuxt_js

A common issue when using async code in
