Hi @⛧ RedStar ⛧. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources, I can see that you're experiencing an issue where your Nuxt site deploys to Netlify but the API routes are not working. This is a common problem when trying to deploy a site that combines static generation with dynamic API routes. According to the knowledge sources, when you run nuxt generate, it prerenders the pages but doesn't output a server for the API routes. Conversely, nuxt build generates the API routes correctly but doesn't prerender the pages. The solution is to configure the underlying Nitro build in your nuxt.config.ts. As mentioned in this Stack Overflow answer, you can use the following configuration:

nitro: {
  prerender: {
    crawlLinks: true,
    routes: ['/'],
    ignore: ["/api"]
  }
}

nitro: {
  prerender: {
    crawlLinks: true,
    routes: ['/'],
    ignore: ["/api"]
  }
}

This configuration causes nuxt build to crawl all links from the front page and prerender them, while still correctly outputting the necessary files to handle the /api routes at runtime. Additionally, make sure you're using the correct Netlify preset. The knowledge sources mention using the cloudflare preset in one example, but for Netlify deployment, you should ensure you're using an appropriate preset for your hosting platform. If you're still experiencing issues after applying this configuration, you may also want to check your build command in Netlify. Make sure you're using nuxt build rather than nuxt generate to ensure both static pages and API routes are properly built. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Im already tried exclude api

kapa.ai•3w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand you've already tried excluding the API routes from prerendering. Let me provide some additional troubleshooting steps based on the knowledge sources. Since you mentioned the API works locally but not on Netlify, here are a few things to check: 1. Verify your build command: According to the Stack Overflow answer about SSG pages + dynamic API routes, you should be using nuxt build (not nuxt generate) to ensure both static pages and API routes are properly built together. 2. Check your Nitro preset: Make sure you're using the correct preset for Netlify in your nuxt.config.ts. The knowledge sources mention different presets for different platforms. 3. Review your deployment logs: The knowledge sources show that during the build process, you should see both client and server builds completing. Check your Netlify deployment logs to confirm that the server is being built correctly and that API routes are included in the output. 4. Verify the output directory: Ensure that Netlify is deploying from the correct output directory (typically .output/public for the static files and .output/server for the server functions). Unfortunately, without access to your specific error messages or deployment logs from Netlify, I cannot provide more specific guidance. The knowledge sources don't contain detailed information about Netlify-specific deployment issues beyond the configuration mentioned. Could you share what specific error you're seeing on Netlify, or what happens when you try to access the API routes on the deployed site? This would help narrow down the issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Im using nuxt build and preset netlify not edge

kapa.ai•3w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Thank you for clarifying that you're using nuxt build with the Netlify preset. This is the correct approach for deploying a site with both static pages and API routes. Based on the knowledge sources, there are a few additional things to consider: 1. API routes and SSR configuration: According to the documentation PR about API functionality, there's important information about using ssr:false with server/api routes and deployment strategies. If you have ssr: false in your config, this might affect how your API routes are deployed. 2. Server-side execution: The knowledge sources indicate that route middleware doesn't affect API routes - API routes use Nitro/h3 defineEventHandler which is a separate runtime. However, this shouldn't prevent them from working on Netlify. 3. CORS considerations: If your API routes are being called from the client-side, the Stack Overflow post about CORS errors mentions that third-party API calls should be made from the server-side backend to avoid CORS issues. However, since your API routes are part of your Nuxt app, this shouldn't be the issue. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't contain specific information about troubleshooting Netlify deployments when using the standard Netlify preset with nuxt build. To help diagnose the issue further, could you provide: - What specific error or behavior you're seeing when trying to access the API routes on Netlify? - Are the API routes returning 404 errors, or is there a different error? - What does your Netlify build log show - does it successfully build both the client and server? Without more specific error information, I cannot provide more targeted guidance based on the available knowledge sources. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai im using dist, not output beacuase netlify wants to use dist

kapa.ai•3w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I see the issue now. You're using dist as your output directory instead of .output, which is causing problems with your Netlify deployment. However, I need to clarify something important: Nuxt 3 uses .output as its build output directory by default, not dist. The dist directory was used in Nuxt 2, but Nuxt 3 changed this. According to the knowledge sources, specifically the YouTube video about the .output folder and the Stack Overflow post about the .output folder, Nuxt 3 generates its build output in the .output directory. The server files are located at .output/server/index.mjs and the static files are in .output/public. For Netlify deployment with Nuxt 3: - Your publish directory should be set to .output/public (not dist) - Netlify will automatically detect and use the serverless functions from .output/server If Netlify is expecting a dist folder, this suggests there might be a misconfiguration in your Netlify settings or you might be using an outdated configuration. You should update your Netlify configuration to use .output/public as the publish directory. The knowledge sources don't mention any way to change Nuxt 3's output directory to dist, and doing so would likely break the expected build structure that includes both the static files and the server functions needed for your API routes. Could you check your netlify.toml file or Netlify dashboard settings and confirm what your publish directory is set to? ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Netlify Required dist folder instead of .output

kapa.ai•3w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand your concern about Netlify requiring a dist folder, but I need to clarify based on the knowledge sources: Nuxt 3 uses .output as its standard build directory, and modern Netlify deployments should work with this structure. The knowledge sources, including the YouTube video about the .output folder and various Stack Overflow posts, consistently show that Nuxt 3 generates its build output in .output/, with: - .output/public/ for static files - .output/server/ for server functions (including API routes) Netlify does NOT require a dist folder for Nuxt 3. The dist folder was used in Nuxt 2, but this changed in Nuxt 3. If you're seeing a requirement for dist, this could be due to: 1. Outdated Netlify configuration 2. A misconfigured netlify.toml file 3. Incorrect settings in your Netlify dashboard The correct Netlify configuration for Nuxt 3 should be: - Build command: nuxt build - Publish directory: .output/public Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't contain information about forcing Nuxt 3 to output to a dist directory, as this would break the expected structure that Netlify needs to properly deploy both your static files and API routes. Could you share your netlify.toml configuration file or the exact error message you're seeing from Netlify? This would help identify if there's a configuration issue. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize, but I don't have access to external URLs or the ability to browse the internet, including the Nuxt documentation at nuxt.com/deploy/netlify. I can only work with the knowledge sources that have been provided to me in this conversation. However, based on our previous discussion and the knowledge sources available to me, I can confirm that: 1. Nuxt 3 uses .output as its build directory - this is consistently shown across multiple knowledge sources including the YouTube video about the .output folder 2. For Netlify deployment, the knowledge sources show examples using .output/public as the publish directory, such as in the AWS Amplify deployment example which uses similar configuration patterns If you could share the specific information from that Netlify deployment guide that contradicts what we've discussed, or if you're seeing specific instructions about using dist instead of .output, I'd be happy to help clarify based on the knowledge sources I have available. Alternatively, if you're experiencing a specific error or issue with your Netlify deployment, please share: - Your current netlify.toml configuration - The exact error message you're seeing - Your Netlify build logs This would help me provide more targeted assistance based on the available knowledge sources. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai not for netlify deployment

kapa.ai•3w ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I apologize for the confusion. You're right - I was focusing too much on Netlify-specific deployment when that wasn't your main concern. Let me refocus on your original issue: your site generates everything except the API routes, and it works locally but not when deployed. Based on the knowledge sources and our conversation, the key points are: 1. You're using nuxt build with the Netlify preset - this is correct for building both static pages and API routes together. 2. The .output directory structure - According to the knowledge sources, including the Stack Overflow post about the .output folder, after running nuxt build, you should have: - .output/public/ - contains your static files - .output/server/index.mjs - the server entry point for API routes 3. API routes require a server runtime - As mentioned in the Stack Overflow answer about SSG pages + dynamic API routes, API routes need a runtime server to function, they cannot be fully static. Since your API works locally but not when deployed, and you mentioned you're using dist instead of .output, this could be the root cause. The knowledge sources consistently show that Nuxt 3's build output is in .output/, and changing this might break the server functionality needed for your API routes. Could you clarify what specific problem you're trying to solve with the dist folder? Are you seeing a specific error, or is there a deployment requirement I'm not understanding from the knowledge sources? ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
