Join the Nuxt Team at Frontend Nation 4-7 June.

Auto Imports

Nuxt 3 adopts a minimal friction approach, meaning wherever possible components and composables are auto-imported.

In the rest of the migration documentation, you will notice that key Nuxt and Vue utilities do not have explicit imports. This is not a typo; Nuxt will automatically import them for you, and you should get full type hinting if you have followed the instructions to use Nuxt's TypeScript support.

Migration

  1. If you have been using @nuxt/components in Nuxt 2, you can remove components: true in your nuxt.config. If you had a more complex setup, then note that the component options have changed somewhat. See the components documentation for more information.
You can look at .nuxt/types/components.d.ts and .nuxt/types/imports.d.ts to see how Nuxt has resolved your components and composable auto-imports.
