The buildDir property

Define the dist directory for your Nuxt application

  • Type: String
  • Default: .nuxt
nuxt.config.js
export default {
  buildDir: 'nuxt-dist'
}

By default, many tools assume that .nuxt is a hidden directory, because its name starts with a dot. You can use this option to prevent that.
