This will install the correct version of @nx/nuxt.

How @nx/nuxt Infers Tasks

The @nx/nuxt plugin will create a task for any project that has an Nuxt configuration file present. Any of the following files will be recognized as an Nuxt configuration file:

  • nuxt.config.js
  • nuxt.config.ts
  • nuxt.config.mjs
  • nuxt.config.mts
  • nuxt.config.cjs
  • nuxt.config.cts

View Inferred Tasks

To view inferred tasks for a project, open the project details view in Nx Console or run nx show project my-project --web in the command line.
