Using layers and (sub)domains.
Is it possible to use layers for subdomains?
Like
App.product.comb-> layer one
Test.product.com -> layer two
Product.com -> layer three (landigspage)

Hi @Lars. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Nuxt layers are designed to help you share and reuse code, configuration, components, and more across multiple Nuxt projects or within a monorepo. They allow you to create modular architectures, such as themes or feature-based code organization, and can be extended from local directories, npm packages, or remote git repositories. Layers can be auto-registered from the
You can use layers to share code and configuration between projects for different subdomains, but you cannot dynamically switch layers at runtime based on the subdomain using Nuxt's built-in features. Each subdomain would typically correspond to a separate Nuxt project that extends the relevant layer(s) Authoring Nuxt Layers Getting Started: Layers.

layers/ directory, and you can extend multiple layers in a single project, with each layer able to override files and configuration from the previous ones in the stack Authoring Nuxt Layers Getting Started: Layers.
However, the knowledge sources do not explicitly mention built-in support for routing or serving different layers based on subdomains (e.g., app.product.com, test.product.com, product.com). Nuxt layers are primarily a code and configuration sharing mechanism, not a runtime routing or multi-tenant solution.
To achieve subdomain-based behavior, you would typically need to:
- Set up separate Nuxt projects for each subdomain, each extending the appropriate layer (e.g., one project for app.product.com using layer one, another for test.product.com using layer two, etc.).
- Or, implement custom server logic (outside of Nuxt's built-in features) to detect the subdomain and serve the appropriate Nuxt build or configuration.
There is no direct, built-in way in Nuxt to dynamically switch layers at runtime based on the incoming subdomain. Layers are resolved at build time, not per-request at runtime.

<@614440001027047434> Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
Layers do not help with this. you can use multiple layers to compose one nuxt-app.
Thus I'd make one nuxt-app per domain and one or multiple shared-layers for shared parts.
Ah okay. I am then just going to write some middleware to get it working
