Nuxt Modules

This covers the full spectrum of Nuxt module development, from scaffolding published npm packages to writing project-local extensions. You get defineNuxtModule patterns, Kit utilities, hook systems, and the runtime/server split that lets modules inject components, composables, plugins, and API routes into user apps. The references include E2E testing setups and copy-paste CI/CD workflows for release automation. It's aimed at developers who need to package reusable Nuxt functionality, whether for public distribution or internal use. The module starter template and playground structure make it straightforward to test your code before publishing, which is honestly the hardest part of getting module development right.
