Nuxt Content
Workflow
- Inspect the installed
@nuxt/content version, content.config.ts, matching files under content/, and the Nuxt surface that consumes them. The branch is understood when the collection, source glob, schema, and consumer agree.
- Open the smallest matching guide below. Apply Nuxt Content guidance only to content-owned APIs; use Nuxt, Nuxt Studio, Nuxt UI, or Vue guidance when those packages own the remaining surface.
- Implement with typed collections and payload-backed Nuxt data loading. The change is complete when collection types resolve, the intended query returns the expected document shape, and the rendered route works in the target rendering mode.
Routing
| Task | Open |
|---|
| Collection types, schemas, indexes, local/remote sources, or locale prefixes | Collections |
| Filtering, sorting, pagination, navigation, surroundings, or search | Querying |
Markdown, MDC, ContentRenderer, prose components, or code highlighting | Rendering |
| Database adapters, markdown processing, renderer aliases, or deployment storage | Configuration |
| Hooks, transformers, custom sources, raw content, debugging, or Content v2 migration | Advanced |
| Visual editing, authentication, media, drafts, or Git publishing | nuxt-studio skill |
| Writing or restructuring documentation prose | document-writer skill |
Baseline
import { defineCollection, defineContentConfig } from '@nuxt/content'
import { z } from 'zod'
export default defineContentConfig({
collections: {
docs: defineCollection({
type: 'page',
source: 'docs/**',
schema: z.object({
updatedAt: z.date().optional(),
}),
}),
},
})
<script setup lang="ts">
const route = useRoute()
const { data: page } = await useAsyncData(route.path, () => {
return queryCollection('docs').path(route.path).first()
})
</script>
<template>
<ContentRenderer v-if="page" :value="page" />
</template>
Use npx nuxi typecheck to verify generated collection types. When a query is empty, confirm that its collection source includes the file—especially .navigation.yml—before changing query logic.
