v2.10.0
🏠 New home
After almost 4 years of Nitro development, it's time to evolve Nitro into a larger community and ecosystem.
- Current nitro-related repositories have been moved under the nitrojs Github org.
- Nitro documentation is hosted under a new shorter domain name: nitro.build.
nitropack
npm package is in transition to becomenitro
.
We have created a new community. You can follow Nitro updates on X via @nitrojsdev and on Bluesky via @nitro.build and feel free to join our new Discord server if you like to be involved ❤️.
🛠️ Major internal overhaul
We have made several (non-breaking) refactors in the Nitro codebase to improve long-term maintenance and structure consistency with the upcoming Nitro v3 releases.
Nitro 2.10 is a cumulative update with over 245 commits, 400+ changed files, 22,018 additions, and 13,207 deletions from 65 contributors, preparing for the next steps toward the Nitro 3 release. (see all changes)
src/*
structure is more modular (#2473), all logic related to presets moved to src/presets/*
(#2446) and internal type checks are more stricter (#2370, #2529).
Important
If you previously imported any utility from #internal/nitro/*
or nitropack/runtime/*
you should change them to #imports
to avoid issues.
📅 Compatibility date
Deployment providers introduce new features that Nitro presets can leverage, but some of them need to be explicitly opted into.
Nitro introduces a new compatibilityDate
configuration (#2511) that allows leveraging the latest platform enhancements. The Cloudflare and Netlify presets now use this feature. If this configuration is not provided, Nitro will continue using the current (v2.9) behavior for presets.
Migration:
export default defineNitroConfig({
+++ compatibilityDate: "2024-11-01",
});
🗂️ Environment-specific handlers
Each route handler in server/routes/*
and server/api/*
is always included in the server bundle for development, prerender, and production.
With the new environment-specific event handlers (#2272), you can now specify handlers that are included only under certain conditions:
.dev
(e.g.,server/api/inspect.dev.ts
): Included only in development mode..prerender
(e.g.,server/api/og_image.prerender.ts
): Included only in the prerendering stage..prod
(e.g.,server/api/health.prod.ts
): Included only in the production bundle.
This feature allows for conventionally having multiple versions of handlers (e.g., routes/admin.dev.ts
+ routes/admin.prod.ts
).
Additionally, if you add route handlers programmatically (via the handlers: []
Nitro config), you can use the env
key to specify preset-specific filters.
📍 Route groups
You can use (...)/
directory names inside server/api/*
and server/routes/*
to logically group handlers without dir being part of the path (#2664).
For example, having server/api/(group)/test.ts
, will add a /api/test
route.
📜 production mode OpenAPI support
The experimental OpenAPI feature can now be enabled in production mode (#2570).
To enable it, set openAPI.production
in the Nitro configuration.
export default defineNitroConfig({
experimental: {
openAPI: true,
},
openAPI: {
// IMPORTANT: make sure to protect OpenAPI routes if necessary!
production: "runtime", // or 'prerender'
},
});
New OpenAPI routes:
/_openapi.json
: OpenAPI v2 JSON to be used in external tools/_swagger
: built-in Swagger UI/_scalar
: built-in Scalar UI
📦 Upgraded dependencies
- Experimental WebSocket support is better with [email protected] upgrade.
- Experimental Database support is better with [email protected] upgrade.
- Typescript support for
nitro.config.ts
and nitro modules is better with [email protected].
🎛️ Preset updates
Cloudflare
cloudflare-module
preset, with compatibilityDate
config set to 2024-09-19
or later, leverages new Static Assets support to allow serving static assets directly from cloudflare CDN with low latency and without hitting the worker and occurring costs (#2800) (Note: Please beware of current limitations while this feature is in Beta).
A new (experimental) cloudflare-durable
preset is available which extends coudflare-module
to allow leveraging Cloudflare Durable objects(#2801). This allows using WebSockets with pub/sub support for use cases like chat rooms or live collaboration (check out nuxt-tiptap for a demo).
Nitro 2.10 added several hooks such as cloudflare:email
and cloudflare:queue
(#2487) and cloudflare:scheduled
, cloudflare:email
, cloudflare:queue
, cloudflare:tail
and cloudflare:trace
for cloudflare-module
preset (#2795) usable with plugins.
With the cloudflare-pages
preset, if cloudflare: { wrangler: { ... } }
is set in nitro config, Nitro will automatically merge it with wrangler.toml
in your project root during build.
Netlify
netlify
preset uses Netlify Functions 2.0 format when compatibilityDate
is set to 2024-05-07
or later (#2406). This allows streaming responses (demo), better support for hybrid rendering (prerender: true
route rule works as intended), improves background request generation, fixing bugs with set-cookie: undefined
on responses and Netlify Blobs will now work out of the box.
Previously, ISR in Nitro had been implemented on Netlify via proprietary On-Demand Builders platform primitive, which only supported "v1" Functions. Now that there's momentum around Targeted HTTP Cache Control and that Netlify supports it, we can implement ISR in Nitro via these simple, standard HTTP headers instead. With the isr
route rule, the new preset uses a new durable
cache-control directive (#2571).
All netlify presets now leverage from better static asset handling to avoid extra function invocations and saving costs (#2822, #2823).
Vercel
When using isr
route rule, by default, query paramas are ignored by cache. Now, you can pass an options object to isr: {}
route rule to configure caching behavior (#2780). Read more in docs.
AWS Lambda
We have experimented streaming support for aws-lambda
(#2412) and added it as an opt-in flag to enable streaming in supported deployments using awsLambda: { streaming: true }
nitro config (#2786).
New presets
We have added support for genezio (#2637) and zerops (#2698) deployment providers.
