To get the most out of this book

You will need a version of Nuxt.js throughout the book – the latest version, if possible. All code examples have been tested using Nuxt 2.14.x on Ubuntu 20.10. Here is a list of other essential software, frameworks, and technologies for this book:

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Then, you can just create the transition style in a .css file."

A block of code is set as follows:

// pages/about.vue
<script>
export default {
  transition: {
    name: 'fade'

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ npm i less --save-dev
$ npm i less-loader --save-dev

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select Manually select features to pick Router from the options that you are prompted to select, to choose the features you need."
