The .nuxtignore file tells Nuxt to ignore files in your project’s root directory (rootDir) during the build phase.

It is subject to the same specification as .gitignore and .eslintignore files, in which each line is a glob pattern indicating which files should be ignored.

::tip You can also configure ignoreOptions, ignorePrefix and ignore in your nuxt.config file. ::

Usage#

```bash [.nuxtignore]

ignore layout foo.vue#

app/layouts/foo.vue

ignore layout files whose name ends with -ignore.vue#

app/layouts/*-ignore.vue

ignore page bar.vue#

app/pages/bar.vue

ignore page inside ignore folder#

app/pages/ignore/*.vue

ignore route middleware files under foo folder except foo/bar.js#

app/middleware/foo/*.js !app/middleware/foo/bar.js ```
