Updating Nx Plus Nuxt

Nx Plus Nuxt provides migrations which help you stay up to date with the latest version of Nx Plus Nuxt.

Not only do we migrate the version of Nx Plus Nuxt, but we also update the versions of dependencies which we install such as nuxt and @nuxt/types.

We recommend waiting for Nx Plus Nuxt to update these dependencies for you as we verify that these versions work together.

How to Migrate

Generate migrations.json

All you have to do to update Nx Plus Nuxt to the latest version is run the following:

nx migrate @nx-plus/nuxt
nx migrate @nx-plus/nuxt@version # you can also specify version

This will fetch the specified version of @nx-plus/nuxt, analyze the dependencies and fetch all the dependent packages. The process will keep going until the whole tree of dependencies is resolved. This will result in:

• package.json being updated
• migrations.json being generated

At this point, no packages have been installed, and no other files have been touched.

Now, you can inspect package.json to see if the changes make sense and install the packages by running npm install or yarn.

Run Migrations

migrations.json contains the transformations that must run to prepare the workspace to the newly installed versions of packages. To run all the migrations, invoke:

nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
