Nuxt Content Routes

A small add-on for Nuxt Content that generates static routes for markdown files.

Routes are generated during the build process from the Nuxt Content directory when the documentDriven option cannot be utilized. This is particularly useful in scenarios where Nuxt Content and static pages are combined, or when a specific i18n strategy is required.

Zero impact on runtime performance.

Please note that this add-on might become obsolete with upcoming Nuxt Content releases.

//Only executed on build via nuxt build
const paths = await listFilesInDirectory(
  directory,
  prefix,
  i18nDefaultLocale,
  i18nStrategy,
)

nuxt.hook('nitro:config', (nitroConfig) => {
  if (nitroConfig && nitroConfig.prerender) {
    nitroConfig.prerender.routes = nitroConfig.prerender.routes || []
    nitroConfig.prerender.routes.push(...paths)
  }
})
