Hi @WiFi Plug. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To ensure that your
Use
<NuxtLink>
components are styled with the default Nuxt UI link styles (color, hover effects, etc.) when placed inside a <p>
tag, you should use the Nuxt UI <ULink>
component instead of the raw <NuxtLink>
. The <ULink>
component is a wrapper around <NuxtLink>
that applies the appropriate styles automatically, including active and hover states, and is designed to work seamlessly in any context, including inside a <p>
tag.
Here's how you can update your code:
This will ensure that the links have the correct Nuxt UI styles. If you use <NuxtLink>
directly, you would need to manually apply classes to match the Nuxt UI design, but <ULink>
handles this for you and is the recommended approach in Nuxt UI projects. You can also customize the styles further using the active-class
, inactive-class
, or raw
props if needed Nuxt UI Link documentation.
If you want to use <NuxtLink>
directly and still get the default styles, you would need to manually add the relevant classes, but this is not necessary if you use <ULink>
.
Summary:Use
<ULink>
from Nuxt UI inside your <p>
tag to get the default Nuxt UI link styles automatically applied, including color and hover effects Nuxt UI Link documentation.

@kapa.ai can i style it to use my primary color for the links?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you can style Nuxt UI links to use your primary color. By default, the
<ULink>
component from Nuxt UI uses the primary color for its active state. If you want to customize or ensure this behavior, you can adjust the theme configuration in your Nuxt UI setup.
For example, in your vite.config.ts
, you can set the primary color in the Nuxt UI configuration:
This will apply your chosen primary color to all components that use the primary color, including links by default Nuxt UI Installation Options.
If you want to override the style for a specific link, you can use the raw
prop and apply your own classes:
But in most cases, simply configuring the primary color in your theme is sufficient, and <ULink>
will use it automatically.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The issue you're experiencing—where the image URL becomes something like
/_ipx/q_50&blur_3&s_10x10/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
and the image is not loaded—typically happens when using the Nuxt Image module with its default provider (IPX), but the image cannot be found or accessed by the optimizer.
Based on the knowledge sources:
- Nuxt Image expects local images to be in the public/
directory. For example, if you use <NuxtImg src="/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png" />
, the file should be located at public/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
in your project. The path in the src
prop should match the path inside the public/
directory, and the image should be accessible at <http://localhost:3000/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
> during development. If the file is not there, the optimizer will return a 404 and the image will be broken Nuxt Image Providers NuxtImg Usage.
- If you have placed the image in the correct location and it still does not load, double-check the file name and path for typos (e.g., decoration-left.png
vs. decoration-right.png
).
- If you have customized the dir
option in your nuxt.config.ts
for the image module (e.g., image: { dir: 'assets/images' }
), then the image should be in that directory instead, and the src
should be relative to that directory Nuxt Image dir option.
- If you see a 404 or "IPX_FILE_NOT_FOUND" error, it means the image optimizer cannot find the file at the expected location. This is a common issue if the image is not in the public/
directory or if the path is incorrect NuxtImage returning 404.
Summary of what to check:
1. Make sure your image is at public/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
.
2. Use <NuxtImg src="/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png" ... />
.
3. If you changed the dir
option in your config, ensure the image is in the correct directory and the src
matches.
4. Check for typos in the file name and path.
If all of the above are correct and the image still does not load, there may be an issue with the image file itself or with the Nuxt Image module setup.
Nuxt won't serve files in theIf you need further troubleshooting, try accessing the image directly in your browser atassets/

If the image is available directly but not via the IPX-optimized URL, there may be an issue with the IPX provider or its configuration. Sometimes, the optimizer can fail if the image file is corrupted, has unsupported metadata, or if there are permission issues, but these are less likely if the image loads directly. 3. Sharp Module or IPX Errors
If you see errors in your terminal or browser console related to
The
<http://localhost:3000/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
,> but <NuxtImg>
is generating a broken image with a URL like /_ipx/q_50&blur_3&s_10x10/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png
, this suggests that the Nuxt Image module's IPX optimizer cannot process the image as expected.
Here are the most likely causes based on the knowledge sources:
1. Default Directory ExpectationBy default, Nuxt Image expects local images to be in the
public/
directory, and your usage of <NuxtImg src="/images/ui/support/decoration-right.png" />
is correct for that setup. If you can access the image directly, the file is in the right place Nuxt Image Providers.
2. IPX Provider IssuesIf the image is available directly but not via the IPX-optimized URL, there may be an issue with the IPX provider or its configuration. Sometimes, the optimizer can fail if the image file is corrupted, has unsupported metadata, or if there are permission issues, but these are less likely if the image loads directly. 3. Sharp Module or IPX Errors
If you see errors in your terminal or browser console related to
sharp
or IPX_FILE_NOT_FOUND
, this can indicate a problem with the image optimization backend. However, you haven't mentioned such errors, so this may not be the case here Nuxt/Image module in nuxt 3 causes problem in production.
4. Placeholder ModifierThe
placeholder
prop triggers Nuxt Image to generate a low-quality placeholder using the optimizer. If the optimizer cannot process the image for the placeholder, it may result in a broken image. Try removing the placeholder
prop to see if the image loads normally. If it does, the issue is specifically with placeholder generation Nuxt Image placeholder usage.
What you can try:
- Remove the placeholder
prop and see if the image loads:
If it works, the issue is with placeholder generation.
- Check for errors in your terminal or browser console related to image processing.
- Ensure the image is a supported format (PNG, JPG, etc.) and not corrupted.
If the image loads without the placeholder
prop, but not with it, the problem is likely with the placeholder generation step in the Nuxt Image module. The knowledge sources do not provide a direct solution for this specific scenario, but this is the most probable cause based on the documented behavior of the placeholder
prop and the IPX provider Nuxt Image placeholder usage.
If the image still does not load even without the placeholder
prop, there may be a deeper issue with the Nuxt Image module or its configuration that is not covered in the provided knowledge sources.

Your
Currently, you are only querying the
content.config.ts
setup for defining collections is correct and follows the recommended structure for Nuxt Content v3. Each collection is defined with a type
and a source
, which is the standard approach Defining Collections.
Regarding your search component:Currently, you are only querying the
legal
collection for both navigation and searchable sections. If you want to include all your collections (e.g., blog
, support
, legal
) in the search, you need to fetch and combine the search sections from each collection.
The knowledge sources show that queryCollectionSearchSections
operates on a single collection at a time queryCollectionSearchSections. To include all collections, you should call queryCollectionSearchSections
for each collection and merge the results.
Here’s an example of how you might do this:
Key points:
- You must call queryCollectionSearchSections
for each collection you want to include.
- Combine the results into a single array for the files
prop.
- The knowledge sources do not mention a built-in way to search across all collections in a single call; manual aggregation is required queryCollectionSearchSections.
This approach is in line with the documented usage of Nuxt Content v3 search utilities.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, the issue is likely related to the use of the
Your issue is not directly caused by the
prefix: '/'
in your legal
collection configuration. According to the knowledge sources, when you set a prefix
in the collection's source
, it changes the base path for the generated routes and navigation items for that collection Collection Sources. This can affect how navigation and search utilities resolve and display paths.
Additionally, for .navigation.yml
files to be included and used for navigation metadata, your collection's source
pattern must include these files. The documentation states:
Note that in order to make these files available for Module, you should define your collection's source in a way that includes these files. For exampleIn your current setup: - Thesource: '**'
andsource: '**/*.{md|yml}
will include these files in collection, butsource: '**/*.md'
will not include them _dir.yml files are renamed to .navigation.yml.
include: 'legal/*.md'
pattern does not include .navigation.yml
files, so navigation metadata from .navigation.yml
in the legal
folder will not be picked up.
- The prefix: '/'
means the legal pages are served at the root, but this does not affect the inclusion of .navigation.yml
—only the include
pattern does.
How to fix:
- Change your include
pattern to also include .navigation.yml
files, for example:
Or, more generally:
This will ensure both your content and navigation files are included and processed.
Summary:Your issue is not directly caused by the
prefix: '/'
, but by the include
pattern not matching .navigation.yml
. Update your include
pattern to ensure .navigation.yml
is included, and your navigation should work as expected for the legal collection _dir.yml files are renamed to .navigation.yml.

) by using a broader include
pattern in your content.config.ts
. For example, you could use include: '*.{md,yml}'
or similar patterns to match multiple types of files across directories.
However, the knowledge sources specify that a document is designed to be present in only one collection at a time. If a file is referenced in multiple collections, live reload will not work correctly, and this setup is not recommended. The documentation suggests using the exclude
attribute to avoid overlapping files between collections Defining Collections.
So, while technically possible, creating a "catch-all" collection for search is not the recommended or optimal approach according to the official documentation. Instead, the suggested method is to aggregate search results from each collection separately and then combine them in your search logic, as you are currently doing.
"Currently, a document is designed to be present in only one collection at a time. If a file is referenced in multiple collections, live reload will not work correctly. To avoid this, it is recommended to use theDefining Collections Summary:exclude

@kapa.ai live reload meaning during development the page refreshes when i make changes? but no issues during production?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, in this context, "live reload" refers to the development feature where the page automatically refreshes or updates when you make changes to your content or code. According to the knowledge sources, if a file is referenced in multiple collections, live reload will not work correctly during development. This means you might not see your changes reflected immediately or automatically in the browser as you edit files.
However, this limitation is specifically mentioned for development. The knowledge sources do not mention any issues related to this in production, so it appears that this problem does not affect production builds Defining Collections.

@kapa.ai how can i use a dynamic component say i have some code where i want to use a prop to decide whether to use a NuxtLink or to just make it a div how would i achieve this?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To use a dynamic component in Nuxt where you want to render either a
<NuxtLink>
or a <div>
based on a prop, you can use Vue's <component :is="...">
syntax. According to the Nuxt documentation, you can pass the component you want to render to the is
prop, either as a string (for globally registered components like NuxtLink
) or as a direct import from #components
Dynamic Components in Nuxt.
Here’s an example:
Or, more simply:
Notes:
- If you use 'NuxtLink'
as a string, Nuxt’s auto-import will resolve it for you if it’s in the components directory or a built-in component.
- You can also import NuxtLink
directly from #components
and use the imported reference in the is
prop if you prefer Direct Imports.
This approach is the recommended and documented way to handle dynamic components in Nuxt.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The issue you're experiencing is due to how your computed property
Make sure your computed property returns the tab's
selectedTabIndex
is set up. In your code:
Here, chatTabs.value[tabKey]
is likely returning undefined
because chatTabs
is an array, and you're trying to access it with a string key ('one'
or 'two'
). Instead, you should return the tab's value
that matches the active key, since <UTabs v-model="...">
expects the value to match the value
property of the tab item UTabs API.
How to fix:
Update your computed property to return the correct tab value:
And use it in your template:
This way, when you update activeTabKey
in your Pinia store from anywhere, the selected tab in <UTabs>
will update accordingly, and vice versa. The v-model
on <UTabs>
is designed to work with the value
property of each tab item, not the array index or the item itself UTabs Examples.
Summary:Make sure your computed property returns the tab's
value
(e.g., 'one'
or 'two'
), not the tab object or array index. This will ensure two-way binding works as expected with Pinia and Nuxt UI's <UTabs>
component.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, you can set a specific item to be opened by default in the Nuxt UI Accordion by using the
default-value
(or defaultValue
) prop. This prop accepts the value
of the item you want to have open by default. If you do not specify a value
for your items, the index as a string (e.g., '0'
, '1'
) is used by default.
For example, to open the second item by default:
If you do not set a value
for your items, you can use the index as a string, e.g., default-value="1"

If you are using a CI/CD or deployment service (like Render.com), you may also add this command as a step in your build or deploy script, depending on how your service is configured. If you continue to have issues, consult the sharp installation documentation and the troubleshooting steps in the Nuxt Image documentation.
pnpm add sharp --platform=linux --arch=x64
command in your Nuxt project's workflow. However, based on the error and the recommendations from the sharp and Nuxt Image documentation, this command should be run in the deployment environment to ensure the correct native binaries are installed for the target platform.
Typically, you would add such a command in your build pipeline, either:
- As part of your build command (before or after your main build step), or- In a postinstall script in your
package.json
to ensure it runs after dependencies are installed.
For example, you could add a postinstall
script in your package.json
like this:
This will ensure that every time your dependencies are installed (including during deployment), sharp
is rebuilt for the correct platform.
Note:If you are using a CI/CD or deployment service (like Render.com), you may also add this command as a step in your build or deploy script, depending on how your service is configured. If you continue to have issues, consult the sharp installation documentation and the troubleshooting steps in the Nuxt Image documentation.
The knowledge sources do not provide a definitive answer for pnpm-specific workflows, but running the command in postinstall
or as a build step is the recommended approach for ensuring native dependencies are correctly installed in the deployment environment.

@kapa.ai how does the official nuxt site have multiple different collections in a single ucontentsearch? what's the proper way to do it
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The official Nuxt approach for including multiple collections in a single
The proper way is to call
UContentSearch
is to query each collection separately using queryCollectionSearchSections
and then combine the results into a single array for the files
prop. There is no built-in utility to search across multiple collections in a single call; manual aggregation is required.
Here’s the recommended pattern, based on the knowledge sources:
This approach is explicitly shown in the documentation, which states that queryCollectionSearchSections
operates on a single collection at a time, and to include all collections, you should call it for each collection and merge the results queryCollectionSearchSections.
Summary:The proper way is to call
queryCollectionSearchSections
for each collection you want to include, then merge the results and pass them to UContentSearch
. There is no single-call solution for multiple collections in the current Nuxt Content API.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The knowledge sources do not explicitly describe how to combine navigation from multiple collections for use in a single
-
UContentSearch
or navigation component. The documented usage of queryCollectionNavigation
is to generate a navigation tree for a single collection at a time queryCollectionNavigation.
If you want to display navigation for multiple collections, you would need to call queryCollectionNavigation
for each collection separately and then manually combine or display the results as needed. There is no built-in utility or official documented pattern for merging multiple collection navigations into a single navigation tree.
Summary:-
queryCollectionNavigation
works on one collection at a time.
- The knowledge sources do not provide an official method for combining navigation from multiple collections into one.
If you need to aggregate navigation, you will have to implement the merging logic yourself, as there is no direct support for this scenario in the current Nuxt Content API.

@kapa.ai so it mostly works however i have a collection called legal which is in my content/legal folder but i use a prefix "/" so they're served at the root of my site. and it seems when combining the collections navigation none of the legal pages are returned only the other collections. if i remove the other collections only leaving legal then they're served normally
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The behavior you're seeing is likely due to how the
- The
prefix
option in your collection's source
affects path generation and navigation. According to the documentation, when you set a prefix: '/'
in your collection source, it changes the base path for the generated routes and navigation items for that collection Collection Sources.
However, the knowledge sources do not provide explicit details on how navigation merging or aggregation should handle collections with overlapping or root-level prefixes. They do confirm that the prefix
option affects the generated paths, and that navigation is generated based on the directory structure and ordering Collection Sources, queryCollectionNavigation.
If your legal
collection is only returned when it is the sole collection, but not when combined with others, it suggests that either:
- The navigation tree for legal
with a root prefix is being overridden or not merged correctly when you aggregate multiple navigations, or
- There may be a conflict or filtering issue in your aggregation logic.
The knowledge sources do not provide a built-in or official method for merging navigation trees from multiple collections, especially when one uses a root prefix. Manual aggregation is required, and you may need to ensure your merging logic accounts for collections with a /
prefix to avoid conflicts or overwrites.
Summary:- The
prefix: '/'
changes the base path for your legal collection.
- The knowledge sources do not describe an official way to merge navigation from multiple collections, especially with root-level prefixes.
- You will need to carefully handle merging to ensure root-level items from legal
are not lost or overwritten when combining with other collections Collection Sources, queryCollectionNavigation.
If you need more advanced merging, you may need to implement custom logic to combine navigation arrays while preserving all items, including those with root-level paths.

@kapa.ai so when console logging i see the pages are in the array, however i suppose the Ucontentsearch doesn't handle it properly when there are items with children elements aswell as top level pages?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The knowledge sources do not provide explicit details about how
The knowledge sources do not explicitly state how
UContentSearch
handles navigation arrays that contain both top-level pages and items with children (nested navigation). There is no documentation specifying whether UContentSearch
expects a flat array or can handle mixed structures with both top-level and nested items.
If your console log shows that the pages are present in the array but they do not appear correctly in the UContentSearch
component, it is possible that the component expects a certain structure (such as a flat array of items) and may not handle mixed or nested navigation trees as you expect. However, since the knowledge sources do not explicitly describe the internal handling or requirements of UContentSearch
for this scenario, I cannot provide a definitive answer.
Summary:The knowledge sources do not explicitly state how
UContentSearch
handles arrays with both top-level and nested navigation items. If you are experiencing issues, it may be due to the component's expectations regarding the structure of the navigation data, but this is not confirmed in the documentation.

----------------------
The behavior you're seeing—where the previous/next cards' icons in

) have an icon
field in their frontmatter or navigation metadata, that icon will be used for the corresponding previous/next card. The default icons (arrowLeft

) are only used if the item does not have its own icon
property UContentSurround API.
Summary:- If a
surround
item has an icon
property, <UContentSurround>
will use it instead of the default prevIcon

- If you want to always use the default icons, ensure your content items do not have an icon
property, or override the icons explicitly using the prev-icon
and next-icon
props on <UContentSurround>
UContentSurround API.
This behavior is by design, as documented in the component's API.

Summary:- The

- To ensure your custom icons are used, you must remove the icon

The knowledge sources do not mention a built-in prop or option to force the use of prev-icon

The knowledge sources do not provide a built-in option in

Here’s how you can do it:
This will ensure that the icon
property is removed from each item in the surround

This approach is supported by the documented usage of the transform
option in useAsyncData
, which allows you to modify the fetched data before it is used in your component. The knowledge sources confirm that the icon

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The BlogPostsPRO (
You must query your content and pass the relevant fields to
<UBlogPosts>
) component does not automatically pull in fields like date
and image
from your Markdown files. Instead, you need to explicitly query your content (e.g., using queryCollection

When using Nuxt Content, you should query your Markdown files and map the results to the structure expected by <UBlogPosts>
. For example:
Make sure your Markdown files include the date

Yes, you can display the date from your frontmatter inside the content of your

" this is how to add a styled badge to a blog post, how do i structure my transformed posts to use this? "const transformedPosts = posts.value?.map((post) => ({
...post,

}))"
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To display a styled badge on each
<UBlogPost>
, you should structure the badge
property in your transformed posts as an object with the desired properties (label
, color
, variant
), matching the props of the Badge component and as shown in the <UBlogPost>
usage example BlogPost Badge.
For example, if your post.category
is a string and you want to use it as the badge label, you can transform your posts like this:
This will ensure that each <UBlogPost>
receives a badge
prop in the correct format, and the badge will be styled as you expect BlogPost Badge.

@kapa.ai so the category is optional whether or not i includfe it in my .md files, how do i make it optional in the transformed posts incase it doesn't exist
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To make the
badge
optional in your transformed posts—so that it is only included if category
exists in your .md
files—you can conditionally add the badge
property during transformation. This way, if post.category
is undefined or missing, the badge
property will not be set, and <UBlogPost>
will simply not display a badge for that post.
Here’s how you can structure your transformation:
This approach ensures that the badge
property is only present when category
exists, which matches the expected usage for the <UBlogPost>
component and is consistent with the documented badge prop behavior BlogPost Badge.

@kapa.ai should the authors be attached to each transformed post or to the UBlogPosts component directly?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The authors should be attached to each transformed post, not to the
<UBlogPosts>
component directly. According to the knowledge sources, the authors
prop is a property of each individual post object that you pass to the posts
prop of <UBlogPosts>
. Each post can have its own authors
array, allowing for different authors per post if needed BlogPost Authors.
There is no mention in the documentation of an authors
prop on the <UBlogPosts>
component itself. The correct approach is to include the authors
array within each post object in your transformed posts array.

The warning
- The
[Vue warn]: Invalid prop: type check failed for prop "authors". Expected Array, got Object
means that the authors
prop you are passing to <UBlogPost>
is an object, but it must be an array of objects.
According to the knowledge sources, the authors
prop for each blog post should be an array, even if you have only one author. For example:
If you accidentally pass a single object (not wrapped in an array), you will get this warning. Always ensure authors
is an array, as shown in the BlogPost Authors documentation.
Summary:- The
authors

Your overall approach—using

useFetch
in a composable, exposing computed properties, and setting up a refresh interval—is correct and aligns with the recommended Nuxt patterns for data fetching and refreshing Refresh and execute.
However, regarding your fallback to 0
for memberCount
and presenceCount
, the knowledge sources confirm that data
is a Vue ref and will be null
or undefined
until the fetch resolves useFetch API. Your computed fallback logic:
should work as expected if data.value
is null
or undefined
. If you are not seeing the fallback to 0
, possible reasons (based on the knowledge sources) include:
- The default
option in useFetch
is set to () => null
, so data.value
will be null
until the fetch resolves, which should trigger the fallback to 0
.
- If your API returns an object with memberCount: undefined
, then data.value?.memberCount
would be undefined
, and the fallback should still apply.
If the fallback is not working:
- Double-check that you are not destructuring data
elsewhere, which would break reactivity and fallback logic useFetch API.
- Ensure you are not using the value before the fetch has resolved or before the component is mounted.
Summary:Your composable is set up according to Nuxt best practices, and your fallback logic should work as written. If it does not, check for issues with destructuring or usage timing, as the knowledge sources confirm this pattern is correct useFetch API. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai so im feeding the memberCount into a numberflow component however because we have the number to start with it doesn't get animated. how should i modify the composable to return 0 until hydrated so that when we pass it into the number flow it notices the change from 0 to that number to animate correctly
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The knowledge sources do not explicitly cover this exact animation scenario, but they do explain how hydration works and how data is passed from server to client using SSR-friendly composables like
You can delay the fetch until after hydration by setting the
- On the server,
useFetch
and useAsyncData
. By default, these composables will fetch data on the server and reuse it on the client during hydration, so the value is immediately available and does not change from 0
to the actual number on the client—hence, your animation does not trigger Nuxt Lifecycle & Hydration.
To force the animation to trigger on the client:You can delay the fetch until after hydration by setting the
server: false
option in your useFetch
call. This way, the value will be null
(or your default, e.g., 0
) on the server, and only update to the real value after hydration on the client, causing the change and triggering your animation.
Here’s how you can modify your composable:
Result:- On the server,
memberCount
will be 0
.
- After hydration, useFetch
will fetch the real value, updating memberCount
from 0
to the actual number, which should trigger your animation in the number flow component.
This approach is supported by the documentation, which states that setting server: false
will only perform the call on the client, and you must handle the pending state yourself Client-only fetching.
If you need the value to be 0
only until hydration (not just until the fetch resolves), you could also use import.meta.client
to set the initial value to 0
only on the client, but the above approach is the most straightforward and SSR-friendly according to the knowledge sources.

@kapa.ai I like the color of "bg-muted/30' where my sites background is bg-default however this makes the element semi transparent which is bad. how do i achieve the same color without the transparency? is there a better way instead of straight up using the hex code of the generated color?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The knowledge sources explain that Nuxt UI uses a system of CSS variables for colors, such as
- Use
bg-muted
, which is mapped to a specific neutral color in your theme. When you use bg-muted/30
, you are applying 30% opacity to that color, resulting in transparency over your bg-default
background CSS Variables: Neutral.
If you want the same color as bg-muted/30
but without transparency, you should use the solid color value of bg-muted
(i.e., bg-muted
without the /30
opacity modifier). This will give you the intended muted color as a solid background, matching your theme's palette and ensuring consistency across light and dark modes.
If you want a lighter or darker version of bg-muted
(but still solid), you can adjust your theme's neutral palette in your CSS or use a different shade from your theme's neutral color tokens (e.g., bg-muted
, bg-elevated
, etc.) CSS Variables: Neutral.
Summary:- Use
bg-muted
for the solid color (no transparency).
- Avoid using /30
or any opacity modifier if you want a non-transparent background.
- If you need a different shade, use another theme token like bg-elevated
or adjust your theme's neutral palette.
This approach ensures you stay consistent with your Nuxt UI theme and do not need to hardcode hex values.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To create your own custom background color with a unique name in Nuxt UI, you should define a new CSS variable in your theme using the
@theme
directive in your main.css
file. This is the recommended approach for extending the design system with custom tokens Theme Customization.
Example:
In your app/assets/css/main.css
:
Now, you can use your custom background color in your components with a utility class:
This method leverages CSS variables and keeps your custom color consistent with the Nuxt UI theming system. You can also use this approach for other custom design tokens (like text or border colors) Theme Customization.
The knowledge sources do not mention a way to register a custom color name directly in the Nuxt UI config for use as a utility class (e.g.,---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------bg-mycolor

The documentation does not mention a way to register a custom color name (such as chat
) so that you can use a class like bg-chat

This is the approach recommended for Tailwind CSS v4 and Nuxt UI. There is no information in the knowledge sources about extending the Tailwind color palette to create custom utility classes like bg-chat

class from a CSS variable Theme Customization.
If you are able to use bg-chat
directly in your project, this behavior is not described or guaranteed by the official Nuxt UI or Tailwind v4 documentation provided in the knowledge sources. It may be due to custom configuration or an undocumented feature, but it is not something the knowledge sources confirm.
Summary:According to the official documentation, you should use

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
When using Nuxt Image, you can manually set the
Yes, you can manually set the
height
or width
props to control the dimensions of the image. If you know the maximum height your image will need on larger devices (for example, 210px), it is reasonable to set height="210"
on your <NuxtImg>
component. If you do not set the width
, Nuxt Image will preserve the aspect ratio of the original image and scale the width accordingly NuxtImg Usage.
For example:
This will ensure the image does not exceed 210px in height, and the width will adjust automatically to maintain the aspect ratio.
Key points from the knowledge sources:
- You can specify either width
, height
, or both. If only one is set, the other dimension is calculated to preserve the aspect ratio NuxtImg Usage.
- Setting the maximum expected height (rounded up, e.g., 210px) is a practical approach if you want to ensure the image fits your layout on all devices.
If you want the image to be responsive to different device sizes, consider using the sizes
prop for more advanced control NuxtImg Usage: sizes.
Summary:Yes, you can manually set the
height
to the largest value you expect (e.g., 210px), and omit width
to let Nuxt Image handle the aspect ratio. This is supported and recommended for predictable layouts.

@kapa.ai "format
Default: ['webp']
You can use this option to configure the default format for your images used by <NuxtPicture>. The available formats are webp, avif, jpeg, jpg, png, and gif. The order of the formats is important, as the first format that is supported by the browser will be used. You can pass multiple values like ['avif', 'webp'].
You can also override this option at the component level by using the format prop.
nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
image: {
format: ['webp']
}
})" the docs say this doesn't this mean the default is already webp? im using the NuxtImg not the NuxtPicture is that why? what are the differences ebtween them
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
You're correct that the documentation states the
- The
format
option defaults to ['webp']
, but there is an important distinction in how this default is applied:
- The format
option in your nuxt.config.ts
specifically configures the default formats for <NuxtPicture>
, not <NuxtImg>
. This means that unless you explicitly set the format
prop on <NuxtImg>
, it will serve the image in its original format (e.g., PNG) Image Configuration: format.
Key differences between <NuxtImg>
and <NuxtPicture>
:
- <NuxtImg>
is a drop-in replacement for <img>
. It outputs a single optimized image, and by default, it serves the image in its original format unless you set the format
prop.
- <NuxtPicture>
is a drop-in replacement for <picture>
. It can serve multiple formats (e.g., avif
, webp
, png
) for better browser compatibility, and the global format
option in your config applies to it by default NuxtImg Usage | NuxtPicture Usage.
If you want <NuxtImg>
to serve images as webp
by default, you need to set the format
prop on each <NuxtImg>
, or use <NuxtPicture>
if you want to leverage the global format
setting.
Summary:- The
format
option in nuxt.config.ts
applies by default to <NuxtPicture>
, not <NuxtImg>
.
- <NuxtImg>
serves the original image format unless you set format="webp"
on the component.

@kapa.ai what are pros and cons of using nuxtpicture for user avatars for example. or for decorative images on my site do i use nuxtpicture then
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
When deciding whether to use
<NuxtPicture>
or <NuxtImg>
for user avatars or decorative images, consider the following points from the knowledge sources:
<NuxtPicture>
Pros:
- Designed to serve images in multiple formats (e.g., avif
, webp
, png
) for better browser compatibility and performance.
- Uses the global format
option from your Nuxt Image config, so you can easily serve modern formats without specifying the format on each component.
- Good for large, decorative, or content images where you want to optimize for different browsers and devices NuxtPicture Usage.
Cons:
- More complex output (generates a <picture>
element with multiple <source>
tags).
- Overhead may be unnecessary for small images like user avatars, where the benefits of multiple formats and responsive images are minimal.
<NuxtImg>
Pros:
- Simpler, outputs a single <img>
tag.
- Ideal for small images like user avatars, icons, or simple decorative images where format switching and responsive behavior are less critical.
- Easier to use when you just need a single optimized image NuxtImg Usage.
Cons:
- Does not use the global format
option by default; you must set the format
prop manually if you want to serve a different format.
- Does not provide multiple formats for browser compatibility out of the box.
Recommendation
- User avatars: Use <NuxtImg>
. The simplicity and lower overhead are more appropriate for small, frequently loaded images like avatars.
- Decorative or large images: Use <NuxtPicture>
if you want to serve modern formats and optimize for different browsers and devices, especially for larger or more prominent images NuxtPicture Usage.
If you are unsure, the knowledge sources suggest that <NuxtImg>
is a drop-in replacement for <img>
and is suitable for most simple use cases, while <NuxtPicture>
is best when you need advanced format handling and responsive images.

@kapa.ai i want a border with the same color as bg-muted but border-muted is different how should i do it
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To create a border with the same color as
Use
bg-muted
, you should use the same CSS variable that bg-muted
uses for its background. In Nuxt UI, bg-muted
is mapped to a specific neutral color in your theme, typically via a CSS variable like --ui-bg-muted
CSS Variables: Neutral.
You can apply this color to your border using the bracket notation in your class:
This ensures your border color matches exactly with bg-muted
, even if border-muted
is different. This approach is recommended in the documentation for using custom or theme-based colors CSS Variables: Neutral.
Summary:Use
border-[var(--ui-bg-muted)]
to match your border color to bg-muted
.

@kapa.ai what class do i use to specify text should be the dark mode text on a specific element
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To specify that text should use the dark mode color on a specific element, you can use the
text-inverted
class. According to the Nuxt UI documentation, text-inverted
applies the color used for text in dark mode (typically white or a light color), regardless of the current mode. This is useful when you want to ensure text is readable on a dark background, even if the rest of the page is in light mode CSS Variables: Neutral.
Example:
This will apply the dark mode text color to the element, ensuring high contrast on dark backgrounds.

@kapa.ai i have a layout, how can i optionally pass in breadcrumbs and render the breadcrumbs based on if breadcrumbs items were passed in what's the recommended way
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To optionally pass in breadcrumbs to a layout and render them only if breadcrumb items are provided, the recommended Nuxt approach is to use a slot or a prop in your layout.
Using a Prop
You can define a
- Use a prop or slot in your layout to optionally receive and render breadcrumbs. - Conditionally render
breadcrumbs
prop in your layout and conditionally render the breadcrumb component if the prop is provided:
layouts/default.vue
pages/example.vue
This way, the breadcrumbs will only render if the breadcrumbs
prop is passed in.
Using a Slot
Alternatively, you can use a named slot for more flexibility:
layouts/default.vue
pages/example.vue
Both approaches are idiomatic in Nuxt and Vue, and the UBreadcrumb documentation shows how to pass items to the breadcrumb component.
Summary:- Use a prop or slot in your layout to optionally receive and render breadcrumbs. - Conditionally render
<UBreadcrumb>
only if breadcrumb items are provided UBreadcrumb Usage.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The error
- Use kebab-case in the template:
Cannot find name 'isInsideSidebarMainLayout'.ts-plugin(2304)
is likely due to a mismatch between the prop name you are passing to <NuxtLayout>
and the prop name you are defining in your layout component.
In Vue and Nuxt, props passed to components in templates are kebab-case, but in your defineProps
call, you must use camelCase. Vue automatically converts between the two.
So, in your template you should use:
And in your layout component, you should define the prop as:
However, when accessing the prop in your script, make sure you are using the camelCase name (isInsideSidebarMainLayout
) and not the kebab-case name. If you try to use is-inside-sidebar-main-layout
in your script, TypeScript will not recognize it, resulting in the error you are seeing.
Summary:- Use kebab-case in the template:
:is-inside-sidebar-main-layout="true"
- Use camelCase in defineProps
and in your script: isInsideSidebarMainLayout
This is the standard Vue prop naming convention and is supported in Nuxt as well NuxtLayout Props.

is to specify the layout by name and render the page content within it, not to pass custom props to the layout NuxtLayout API.
If you use <NuxtLayout name="default" :breadcrumbs="breadcrumbs">

@kapa.ai nuxt image set aspect ratio to 16:9 and object cover so the image covers that
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To set an image to a 16:9 aspect ratio and have it cover the area (object-cover) using Nuxt Image, you can use the
- Use
fit="cover"
prop and specify the desired width and height that match the 16:9 ratio (for example, 1600x900, 800x450, etc.). The fit="cover"
option ensures the image will cover the area, cropping as needed to maintain the aspect ratio NuxtImg fit property.
Example:
This will render the image at a 16:9 aspect ratio and ensure it covers the area, similar to object-cover
in CSS.
If you are using a provider that supports aspect ratio modifiers (like Cloudinary or TwicPics), you can also use their specific modifiers for aspect ratio, but the above approach works universally with Nuxt Image Cloudinary aspectRatio | TwicPics aspect ratio.
Summary:- Use
width

Yes, your usage of

) to render each item with your custom component. This pattern is shown in the official examples, where the slot provides the current item to be rendered UCarousel Usage.
Here’s a simplified example from the documentation:
You are correctly adapting this by rendering <StoreProductCard :product="item" />

slots for custom styling UCarousel Theme.
Here’s how you can:
- Keep the dots below the carousel,
- Center the arrows vertically inside the carousel,
- Show the arrows only on hover.
Example:
Key points:
- The arrows
slot is set to be absolutely positioned, full height (inset-y-0
), and flexed to space-between for centering.
- opacity-0 group-hover:opacity-100 transition-opacity
ensures arrows only appear on hover of the carousel (group
class on the carousel root).
- The controls
slot uses pointer-events-none
so the arrows don’t block interaction, but pointer-events-auto
on arrows
allows the arrows themselves to be clickable.
- Dots remain below the carousel with -bottom-7
.
This approach is based on the documented slot and theme customization for <UCarousel>
UCarousel Theme.
If you need further fine-tuning, you can adjust the classes for prev

, Nuxt will block navigation until the async handler is resolved on the server, so the page waits for the data before rendering. This is because, on the initial load, Nuxt aims to deliver a fully hydrated page with all data ready for SEO and user experience reasons Nuxt Data Fetching: Lazy.
When you set server: false
, the fetch is only performed on the client after hydration, so the page renders immediately and you can show skeleton loaders or loading states while the data is being fetched in the browser Nuxt Data Fetching: Client-only fetching.
Summary:- Without
server: false
, Nuxt fetches data on the server and waits for it before rendering the page.
- With server: false
, data is fetched only on the client, so the page loads immediately and you can display loading states.
This behavior is documented in the Nuxt data fetching guide for both lazy and client-only fetching.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Your usage of
To allow your page to render immediately and display the pending state (so you can show skeleton loaders or loading indicators), you should not use
- Do not use
await useLazyFetch<StoreData>('/api/store/products')
is the reason your page is blocking until the 8-second timeout finishes. According to the knowledge sources, if you use await
with useLazyFetch
(or useFetch
) at the top level of your <script setup>
, the page will wait for the data to resolve before rendering—even if you are using the "lazy" composable. This is because top-level await
blocks the setup until the promise resolves, which defeats the purpose of lazy loading Nuxt Data Fetching: Lazy.
Correct usage:To allow your page to render immediately and display the pending state (so you can show skeleton loaders or loading indicators), you should not use
await
with useLazyFetch
. Instead, call it directly:
This way, the component will render right away, and you can use the pending
state in your template to show a loading UI while the data is being fetched.
Summary:- Do not use
await
with useLazyFetch
if you want non-blocking, lazy data fetching and to display a loading state.
- Using await
at the top level will block rendering until the data is fetched, even with a simulated delay.
This is the recommended and documented approach for lazy data fetching in Nuxt Nuxt Data Fetching: Lazy.

@kapa.ai "// Fetch products from store
const { data, pending, error } = useLazyFetch<StoreData>('/api/store/products', {
server: false,
})" I have a question about using pending vs !data for the loading state to display my skeleton loaders. when i use pending and do a hard refresh on the page my skeleton loaders don't appear when using pending but they do if i use !data. but then when navigating to different pages and back to the store both work the same to display the skeleton loaders. why is this? should i be using !data in that case
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The behavior you're observing is due to how the
- On initial load with
pending
state works in Nuxt's data fetching composables, especially when using server: false
and useLazyFetch
.
According to the knowledge sources, the pending
property is only true
when the request is actually in progress (i.e., when the status
is 'pending'
). When you use server: false
, data fetching only happens on the client after hydration. On a hard refresh, there is a brief moment where the component is mounted, but the request has not started yet, so pending
may be false
and data
is still undefined
or null
. This means your skeleton loaders won't show if you rely solely on pending
during that initial state Alignment of pending value in useAsyncData and useFetch.
The Nuxt upgrade guide explains:
Now, whenThis means that on initial load, there can be a state whereimmediate: false
is passed,pending
will befalse
until the first request is made. This is a change from the previous behavior, wherepending
was alwaystrue
until the first request was made.
pending
is false
and data
is undefined
. That's why using !data
is a more reliable check for showing skeleton loaders, especially right after a hard refresh, because it covers both the "not started" and "loading" states.
Summary / Recommendation:- On initial load with
server: false
, pending
may be false
before the request starts, so relying on pending
alone can cause your skeleton loaders not to appear.
- Using !data
is a more robust way to show your loading state, as it covers both the "not started" and "loading" phases.
- This behavior is due to the alignment of the pending
value with the status
property in Nuxt's data fetching composables Alignment of pending value in useAsyncData and useFetch.
So, yes, you should use !data
for your loading state in this scenario.

@kapa.ai "// Fetch products from store
const { data, error } = useLazyFetch<StoreData>('/api/store/products', {
server: false,
})" so then here how do i enable caching, using asyncdataright and setting a key so that each time i go back to the page it isn't refetched
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To enable caching with
- If you want to manually refresh the data, you can use the
Set a unique
useLazyFetch
(or useFetch
/useAsyncData
) so that data is not refetched every time you navigate back to the page, you should:
1. Set a unique key
for your data fetch. This allows Nuxt to cache the result and reuse it when you revisit the page.
2. Use useAsyncData
or useFetch
(since useLazyFetch
is just a lazy version of useFetch
), and provide the key
option.
Here’s how you can do it:
With this setup, Nuxt will cache the data under the key 'store-products'
, and when you navigate away and back to the page, it will reuse the cached data instead of refetching it, as long as the key and options remain the same Minimize payload size: Keys.
Note:- If you want to manually refresh the data, you can use the
refresh
function returned by the composable.
- The cache is in-memory and will be cleared on a full page reload.
Summary:Set a unique
key
in your useLazyFetch
(or useFetch
/useAsyncData
) options to enable caching and prevent unnecessary refetching when navigating back to the page Minimize payload size: Keys.

@kapa.ai how can i customise the uprogress component as i want to make it have animated stripes sort of like the bootstrap striped progress bar class
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain any information or examples about adding animated stripes (like the Bootstrap striped progress bar) to the Nuxt UI
<UProgress>
component. The documentation covers customizing colors, sizes, orientation, and built-in animations (such as carousel
, swing
, and elastic
), but does not mention support for striped or patterned progress indicators, nor how to implement custom backgrounds or CSS for this effect UProgress Theme UProgress API.
If you need this effect, you would likely need to implement a custom solution, but this is not covered in the provided documentation.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The knowledge sources do not provide explicit guidance on creating custom Tailwind classes or utilities in the context of Nuxt UI and Tailwind CSS v4. However, the recommended and documented approach for reusing a set of classes in Nuxt UI is to create a reusable component for your animated div. This is fully supported by Nuxt’s component system and ensures consistency and maintainability across your project Nuxt Components.
If you want to avoid creating a new component and prefer to use a custom class, the knowledge sources do not describe a way to define custom Tailwind classes (like with
