How to deploy with Vercel?

nuxt-now-builder

Vercel

To deploy with Vercel, the Nuxt.js team and contributors worked on an official @nuxtjs/now-builder package ('Now' is Vercel previous name).

All you have to do is to setup a now.json file:

{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "nuxt.config.js",
      "use": "@nuxtjs/now-builder",
      "config": {}
    }
  ]
}

Service Worker with Nuxt PWA Module

To avoid 404 for Service Workers, make sure to include sw to your routes settings.

{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "nuxt.config.js",
      "use": "@nuxtjs/now-builder",
      "config": {
        "serverFiles": ["package.json"]
      }
    }
  ],
  "routes": [
    { "src": "/_nuxt/.+", "headers": { "Cache-Control": "max-age=31557600" } },
    {
      "src": "/sw.js",
      "dest": "/_nuxt/static/sw.js",
      "headers": {
        "cache-control": "public, max-age=43200, immutable",
        "Service-Worker-Allowed": "/"
      }
    },
    { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "/" }
  ]
}
