components configuration in layers

Hello, I want to create a layer with configurations that i use across all my projects. One of them is to remove path prefix of components. If i put this code

components: [
    {
      path: '~/components',
      pathPrefix: false,
    },
]

components: [
    {
      path: '~/components',
      pathPrefix: false,
    },
]

in ./nuxt.config.ts, it's working fine and my component components/layout/AppHeader.vue is accessible with <AppHeader/>. But if i create a layer and write the same configuration in ./layers/general/nuxt.config.ts, it's not working and my component is registered as LayoutAppHeader in ./.nuxt/components.d.ts. Is there a way to make it work ? or maybe it's just a wrong path problem ? Thanks

Hi @Quentin. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Thank you for your question about Nuxt layers and component configuration. I understand you're trying to create a reusable layer with configurations, including removing the path prefix for components. Let's explore this issue based on the available information. The behavior you're experiencing is likely related to how Nuxt handles component registration in layers. According to the Nuxt documentation on layers (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/layers), layers can extend various aspects of a Nuxt application, including components. However, there are some considerations when working with layers: 1. Layer Resolution: Nuxt resolves layers in a specific order, with the user's project having the highest priority. This means that configurations in your main nuxt.config.ts file will override those in layers. 2. Component Registration: The component auto-registration feature scans directories and applies naming conventions based on the component's path and filename. 3. Local Layer Aliases: Nuxt has an experimental feature called localLayerAliases which is enabled by default. This feature resolves aliases like ~ and @ within layers with respect to their layer source and root directories Nuxt Configuration - localLayerAliases (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/nuxt-config#locallayeraliases). To address your specific issue, here are a few suggestions: 1. Ensure that your layer is properly extended in your main nuxt.config.ts file:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['./layers/general']
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  extends: ['./layers/general']
})

2. In your layer's nuxt.config.ts, try using the full path instead of the ~ alias:

import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'
import { dirname, join } from 'path'

const currentDir = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  components: [
    {
      path: join(currentDir, 'components'),
      pathPrefix: false,
    },
  ]
})

import { fileURLToPath } from 'url'
import { dirname, join } from 'path'

const currentDir = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  components: [
    {
      path: join(currentDir, 'components'),
      pathPrefix: false,
    },
  ]
})

This approach is suggested in the Nuxt documentation on relative paths in layers (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/layers#relative-paths-and-aliases). 3. If the above doesn't work, you might need to explicitly define the components in your layer. You can do this by adding a components:dirs array to your layer's nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  components: {
    dirs: [
      {
        path: './components',
        pathPrefix: false,
      }
    ]
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  components: {
    dirs: [
      {
        path: './components',
        pathPrefix: false,
      }
    ]
  }
})

4. If you're still facing issues, you might want to check if there are any conflicting configurations in your main nuxt.config.ts file that could be overriding the layer settings. Remember that working with layers can sometimes be tricky, especially when it comes to path resolution. The Nuxt team is continually working on improving layer support, as mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on going deeper with layers (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/layers#going-deeper). If these suggestions don't resolve your issue, you might want to consider reporting it as a potential bug to the Nuxt team, as it could be related to how component configurations are handled in layers. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

I logged components:dir hook parameter and the declaration for ./components was duplicated, first without pathPrefix option and at the end of the array with what i wrote in the layer confg, so prefix set to false. I don't know where i read that but earlier definitions in components array take priority, so redefining something in layer configuration will never work. I managed to do what i want with this nuxt.config.ts in a layer :

import path from 'path'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'components:dirs': (componentsDirs) => {
      const component = componentsDirs.find(componentDir => componentDir.path === path.resolve(__dirname, '../../components'))

      if (component) component.pathPrefix = false
    },
  },
})

import path from 'path'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'components:dirs': (componentsDirs) => {
      const component = componentsDirs.find(componentDir => componentDir.path === path.resolve(__dirname, '../../components'))

      if (component) component.pathPrefix = false
    },
  },
})
