Hi @FoxCode. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The
buildCache
feature is an experimental feature in Nuxt that allows caching of Nuxt build artifacts based on a hash of the configuration and source files. Here's how you can use it:
1. Enable the feature in your nuxt.config.ts
file:
Nuxt Docs: Experimental Features - buildCache (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/experimental-features#buildcache)
When enabled, this feature will cache build artifacts and trigger a full rebuild only when certain files change, such as configuration files or files within the srcDir
.
Regarding your observation about buildCache
not being present in index.d.ts
, it's important to note that experimental features may not always be immediately reflected in type definitions. The experimental
object in the Nuxt configuration is designed to allow for rapid iteration and testing of new features before they are fully stabilized.
If you're using TypeScript and want to avoid type errors, you can use a type assertion when setting the experimental features:
It's worth mentioning that experimental features may change or be removed in future versions. Always refer to the latest documentation when using such features.
For more information on experimental features and how they're defined, you can check the Nuxt configuration API documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/nuxt-config#experimental) or the source code of the schema definition.
