The .nuxtrc file can be used to configure Nuxt with a flat syntax. It is based on unjs/rc9.

::tip For more advanced configurations, use nuxt.config. ::

Usage#

```bash [.nuxtrc]

Disable SSR#

ssr=false

Configuration for @nuxt/devtools#

devtools.enabled=true

Add Nuxt modules#

modules[]=@nuxt/image modules[]=nuxt-security

Module setups (automatically added by Nuxt)#

setups.@nuxt/test-utils="3.23.0" ```

If present, the properties in the nuxt.config file will overwrite the properties in .nuxtrc file.

::note Nuxt automatically adds a setups section to track module installation and upgrade state. This is used internally for module lifecycle hooks and should not be modified manually. ::

Global .nuxtrc File#

You can also create a global .nuxtrc file in your home directory to apply configurations globally.

• On macOS/Linux, this file is located at:

md ~/.nuxtrc

• On Windows, it is located at:

md C:\Users\{username}\.nuxtrc

This global .nuxtrc file allows you to define default settings that apply to all Nuxt projects on your system. However, project-level .nuxtrc files will override these global settings, and nuxt.config will take precedence over both.
