Lifecycle Hooks
Nuxt provides a powerful hooking system to expand almost every aspect using hooks. This feature is powered by unjs/hookable.
Nuxt Hooks (Build Time)
These hooks are available for Nuxt Modules and build context.
Usage with nuxt.config
nuxt.config
export default defineNuxtConfig({ hooks: { 'close': () => { } }})Usage with Nuxt Modules
import { defineNuxtModule } from '@nuxt/kit'export default defineNuxtModule({ setup (options, nuxt) { nuxt.hook('close', async () => { }) }})App Hooks (Runtime)
App hooks can be mainly used by Nuxt Plugins to hook into rendering lifecycle but could also be used in Vue composables.
Usage with Plugins
plugins/test.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => { nuxtApp.hook('page:start', () => { /* your code goes here */ })})Learn more about available lifecycle hooks
Nitro App Hooks (Runtime)
These hooks are available for Nitro plugins to hook into Nitro's runtime behavior.
Usage within a Nitro Plugin
~/server/plugins/test.ts
export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => { nitroApp.hooks.hook('render:html', (html, { event }) => { console.log('render:html', html) html.bodyAppend.push('<hr>Appended by custom plugin') }) nitroApp.hooks.hook('render:response', (response, { event }) => { console.log('render:response', response) })})Learn more about available Nitro lifecycle hooks.
