Hi @Adnan Erlansyah. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To create a Software as a Service (SaaS) application with Nuxt 3, you can follow these general guidelines: 1. Start with a Nuxt 3 project structure: You can use the Nuxt UI Pro SaaS template as a starting point. This template provides a pre-built structure for a SaaS application. You can initialize it using the following command:

npx nuxi init -t github:nuxt-ui-pro/saas my-saas-project

npx nuxi init -t github:nuxt-ui-pro/saas my-saas-project

Nuxt UI Pro Getting Started (https://ui.nuxt.com/pro/getting-started) 2. Implement key SaaS features: The SaaS template typically includes essential pages and components for a SaaS application, such as: - Landing page - Pricing page - Documentation - Blog - Authentication system 3. Utilize Nuxt's server capabilities: Nuxt 3 provides powerful server-side features that are crucial for building a SaaS: - API routes for backend functionality - Server-side rendering for improved performance and SEO - Hybrid rendering options for flexibility Nuxt Server Documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/server) 4. Leverage Nuxt UI components: Nuxt UI Pro offers pre-built components specifically designed for SaaS applications, such as the PricingCard component for displaying pricing plans:

<template>
  <UPricingCard
    title="Solo"
    description="For bootstrappers and indie hackers."
    price="$199"
    cycle="/month"
    :features="['One developer', 'Unlimited projects', 'Unlimited minor & patch updates', 'Lifetime access']"
    :button="{ label: 'Buy now' }"
  />
</template>

<template>
  <UPricingCard
    title="Solo"
    description="For bootstrappers and indie hackers."
    price="$199"
    cycle="/month"
    :features="['One developer', 'Unlimited projects', 'Unlimited minor & patch updates', 'Lifetime access']"
    :button="{ label: 'Buy now' }"
  />
</template>

Nuxt UI Pro PricingCard Component (https://ui.nuxt.com/pro/components/pricing-card) 5. Consider deployment options: Nuxt 3 supports various deployment strategies. For a SaaS application, you might want to consider a server-side rendering (SSR) approach for better performance and SEO. Nuxt provides deployment presets for different hosting providers:

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    preset: 'node-server'
  }
})

// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    preset: 'node-server'
  }
})

Nuxt Deployment Documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/deployment#hosting-providers) Remember that building a full-fledged SaaS application involves many more aspects, such as user management, subscription handling, and integrating with third-party services. The Nuxt ecosystem provides a solid foundation for these features, but you'll need to implement much of the business logic specific to your SaaS offering. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai How about if we want to handle what's the application that should be opened on the browser when run the project. what the settings usually look like?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To control which application opens in the browser when you run your Nuxt 3 project, you can use the development server configuration. Here's how you can set it up: 1. In your Nuxt 3 project, you can use the nuxi dev command with the -o or --open flag to automatically open the browser when starting the development server. This is typically defined in your package.json file under the scripts section:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxi dev -- -o"
  }
}

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxi dev -- -o"
  }
}

Then you can run npm run dev (or yarn dev or pnpm dev) to start the development server and automatically open the browser. Nuxt Development Server Documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/installation#development-server) 2. By default, this will open your default browser. If you want to specify a particular browser, you can modify your package.json script to include the browser name:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxi dev -- -o --browser=firefox"
  }
}

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxi dev -- -o --browser=firefox"
  }
}

This would open Firefox specifically when running the development server. 3. If you're using a JetBrains IDE like WebStorm or IntelliJ IDEA, you can set up a debug configuration to open a specific browser. Here's an example configuration:

<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
  <configuration default="false" name="client: chrome" type="JavascriptDebugType" uri="<http://localhost:3000"> useFirstLineBreakpoints="true">
    <method v="2" />
  </configuration>
</component>

<component name="ProjectRunConfigurationManager">
  <configuration default="false" name="client: chrome" type="JavascriptDebugType" uri="<http://localhost:3000"> useFirstLineBreakpoints="true">
    <method v="2" />
  </configuration>
</component>

This configuration would open Chrome when debugging your Nuxt application. JetBrains IDE Debug Configuration (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/going-further/debugging#example-jetbrains-ides-debug-configuration) 4. It's worth noting that the main entry point for your Nuxt 3 application is typically the app.vue file. This is where you define the root component of your application, which will be loaded when you open the project in the browser:

<template>
  <div>
    <NuxtLayout>
      <NuxtPage/>
    </NuxtLayout>
  </div>
</template>

<template>
  <div>
    <NuxtLayout>
      <NuxtPage/>
    </NuxtLayout>
  </div>
</template>

Nuxt app.vue Documentation (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/app#usage-with-pages) Remember, these settings control how the application is opened during development. For production, the behavior will depend on your deployment configuration and how users access your application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
