Custom scripts in command line?
Is it possible to create a custom script that I can run with "npm run"? It seems I can't access defineNuxtConfig during this approach with a normal TS file and TSX.
ReferenceError: defineNuxtConfig is not defined
I want a custom script I can run in the terminal that extends "npm run generate" so I can pass some arguments.6 Replies
Hi @Zyme. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To answer your question about creating custom scripts that can be run with "npm run" in a Nuxt project, I'll need to provide some clarification and suggestions based on the available information.
The error you're encountering (
ReferenceError: defineNuxtConfig is not defined) is because defineNuxtConfig is indeed not available in regular TypeScript files outside of the Nuxt context. This function is typically used in the nuxt.config.ts file and is made available by Nuxt itself.
For creating custom scripts that extend Nuxt commands like "generate", you have a couple of options:
1. Use Nuxt CLI (nuxi) commands:
Instead of trying to access defineNuxtConfig directly, you can use Nuxt's CLI tool (nuxi) to run commands with additional arguments.
For example, you could create a custom script in your package.json like this:
Then you can run it with npm run generate:custom.
2. Create a separate Node.js script:
If you need more complex logic, you can create a separate Node.js script that uses the Nuxt programmatic API. However, this approach is more advanced and not as straightforward.
3. Use Nuxt hooks:
If you need to extend the behavior of the generate command, you might want to look into using Nuxt hooks in your nuxt.config.ts file. This allows you to tap into various points of the Nuxt lifecycle.
Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide a direct example of creating a custom script that extends "npm run generate" with additional arguments. The closest relevant information is about using the Nuxt CLI commands, which I've outlined in option 1 above.
For more detailed information about Nuxt CLI commands, you can refer to the following documentation:
Nuxt Commands
If you need more specific functionality, you might want to explore Nuxt modules or plugins, which offer more powerful ways to extend Nuxt's capabilities.

How do I create a custom typescript file that I can run with "npm run" with having access to nuxt config?
