Can't access values from useRuntimeConfig() from /plugins

runtimeConfig: {
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
}

runtimeConfig: {
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
}

And I can't access it from useRuntimeConfig().LOADED_MESSAGE from /plugins/plugin.ts:

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
    const config = useRuntimeConfig()

    // logs nothing
    console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
}

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
    const config = useRuntimeConfig()

    // logs nothing
    console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
}

Hi @envizar. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help you understand why you're having trouble accessing useRuntimeConfig() values from your plugin. There are a few important points to consider: 1. Plugin Context: In Nuxt 3, plugins receive the nuxtApp as the first argument. You should use defineNuxtPlugin instead of defineNitroPlugin for Nuxt plugins. 2. Runtime Config Structure: The runtimeConfig should be structured with a public key for values that need to be accessible on both client and server sides. 3. Accessing Runtime Config: Use the useRuntimeConfig() composable to access the runtime configuration. Here's how you can modify your code to access the runtime config in a Nuxt plugin:

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  const config = useRuntimeConfig()

  // Access the config value
  console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
})

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  const config = useRuntimeConfig()

  // Access the config value
  console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
})

If you want this value to be accessible on both client and server sides, you should structure your runtimeConfig in nuxt.config.ts like this:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  runtimeConfig: {
    // Private keys are only available on the server
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
    // Keys within public are also exposed client-side
    public: {
      LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE
    }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  runtimeConfig: {
    // Private keys are only available on the server
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
    // Keys within public are also exposed client-side
    public: {
      LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE
    }
  }
})

Then, you can access it in your plugin as:

console.log(config.public.LOADED_MESSAGE)

console.log(config.public.LOADED_MESSAGE)

Remember that environment variables need to be prefixed with NUXT_ to be automatically picked up by Nuxt's runtime config. For example, you might set NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE as an environment variable. For more detailed information on runtime config and plugins, you can refer to: - Runtime Config - Plugins If you're still having issues, make sure that your environment variables are set correctly and that you're using the latest version of Nuxt 3. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the error message you're encountering, it seems you're having an issue with the defineNuxtPlugin function not being recognized. This is likely due to a configuration or import problem. Let's address this issue: 1. First, make sure you're using Nuxt 3. The defineNuxtPlugin function is specific to Nuxt 3, while defineNitroPlugin is used in a different context. 2. If you're using Nuxt 3, the defineNuxtPlugin function should be automatically imported. However, if you're seeing this error, it might not be auto-imported correctly. To resolve this, you can try explicitly importing the function at the top of your plugin file:

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#app'

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#app'

export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

3. If you're using TypeScript, make sure your tsconfig.json is properly configured to recognize Nuxt's types. Nuxt 3 should handle this automatically, but you might need to check if there are any issues with your TypeScript setup. 4. Ensure that you're creating your plugin in the correct location. Plugins should be placed in the plugins/ directory at the root of your Nuxt project. 5. If you're still seeing the error, try clearing your Nuxt cache and restarting your development server:

   npx nuxi cleanup

   npx nuxi cleanup

Then restart your development server. 6. Make sure you're not mixing up Nuxt plugins with Nitro plugins. defineNuxtPlugin is used for Nuxt plugins, while defineNitroPlugin is used for Nitro server plugins. If you're still encountering issues after trying these steps, it would be helpful to see more of your code context and your Nuxt configuration. For more information on creating plugins in Nuxt 3, you can refer to the Nuxt 3 Plugins documentation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the error message and the code snippet you provided, it seems you're encountering an issue with importing defineNuxtPlugin. Let's address this problem: 1. First, the import statement you're using is incorrect for Nuxt 3. Instead of importing from "nuxt/app", you should use the '#imports' alias provided by Nuxt 3. 2. In most cases, you don't need to explicitly import defineNuxtPlugin at all, as Nuxt 3 auto-imports this function for you in the plugins directory. Here's how you can correct your code:

// Remove this import
// import {defineNuxtPlugin} from "nuxt/app";

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

// Remove this import
// import {defineNuxtPlugin} from "nuxt/app";

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

If for some reason the auto-import is not working, you can try explicitly importing it like this:

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#imports'

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

import { defineNuxtPlugin } from '#imports'

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
  // Your plugin code here
})

If you're still encountering issues, here are a few things to check: 1. Make sure your plugin file is located in the plugins/ directory at the root of your Nuxt project. 2. Ensure you're using Nuxt 3. The auto-import feature and the #imports alias are specific to Nuxt 3. 3. Try clearing your Nuxt cache and restarting your development server:

   npx nuxi cleanup

   npx nuxi cleanup

Then restart your development server. 4. Check your tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json to ensure it's properly configured for Nuxt 3. For more detailed information on creating plugins in Nuxt 3, you can refer to the Nuxt 3 Plugins documentation. If you're still facing issues after trying these solutions, it would be helpful to see more of your project structure and configuration files to provide a more specific solution. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai Can't access values from useRuntimeConfig() from /server/plugins

runtimeConfig: {
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
}

runtimeConfig: {
    LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.LOADED_MESSAGE,
}

And I can't access it from useRuntimeConfig().LOADED_MESSAGE from /server/plugins/plugin.ts:

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
    const config = useRuntimeConfig()

    // logs nothing
    console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
}

export default defineNitroPlugin(() => {
    const config = useRuntimeConfig()

    // logs nothing
    console.log(config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
}

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can help you understand why you're having trouble accessing useRuntimeConfig() values from your server plugin. Let's address this issue: 1. Server Plugins: The code you've provided is correct for a Nitro server plugin. You're using defineNitroPlugin, which is the correct approach for plugins in the /server/plugins directory. 2. Accessing Runtime Config: In server plugins, you should be able to access the runtime config using useRuntimeConfig(). However, there are a few things to check: a. Make sure your environment variable is set correctly. The runtime config values are automatically replaced by matching environment variables at runtime. Your environment variable should be prefixed with NUXT_. So, instead of LOADED_MESSAGE, you should set NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE. b. In your nuxt.config.ts, make sure you're setting the default value correctly:

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     runtimeConfig: {
       LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE || 'default message',
     }
   })

   export default defineNuxtConfig({
     runtimeConfig: {
       LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE || 'default message',
     }
   })

3. Logging: If you're not seeing any logs, it might be due to how Nitro handles console output. Try using Nitro's logger instead:

   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     const config = useRuntimeConfig()
     nitroApp.hooks.hook('request', () => {
       console.log('Runtime config:', config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
     })
   })

   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     const config = useRuntimeConfig()
     nitroApp.hooks.hook('request', () => {
       console.log('Runtime config:', config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
     })
   })

4. Event argument: In some cases, you might need to pass the event argument to useRuntimeConfig():

   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     nitroApp.hooks.hook('request', (event) => {
       const config = useRuntimeConfig(event)
       console.log('Runtime config:', config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
     })
   })

   export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
     nitroApp.hooks.hook('request', (event) => {
       const config = useRuntimeConfig(event)
       console.log('Runtime config:', config.LOADED_MESSAGE)
     })
   })

If you're still having issues after trying these steps, make sure that your environment variables are set correctly and that you're using the latest version of Nuxt. For more information on runtime config and Nitro plugins, you can refer to: - Runtime Config - Nuxt Configuration Reference Remember, the server plugins have access to the full runtime config, including private keys, while client-side code only has access to the public runtime config. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources and your specific scenario, I can explain why you're encountering this issue and suggest a solution. The problem you're experiencing is related to how Nuxt handles environment variables and runtime configuration in production. Here are the key points to consider: 1. Environment Variables in Production: As mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on .env files, "After your server is built, you are responsible for setting environment variables when you run the server. Your .env files will not be read at this point." 2. Naming Convention for Environment Variables: Nuxt expects environment variables for runtime config to be prefixed with NUXT_. This is crucial for Nuxt to automatically pick up these variables. To resolve your issue: 1. Rename your environment variable: Change LOADED_MESSAGE to NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE in your .env file:

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED

2. Update your nuxt.config.ts:

   runtimeConfig: {
     LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE || 'NOT LOADED'
   }

   runtimeConfig: {
     LOADED_MESSAGE: process.env.NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE || 'NOT LOADED'
   }

3. When starting your server in production, set the environment variable directly:

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED node server/index.mjs

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED node server/index.mjs

Or, if you want to use the --env-file option:

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED node --env-file='.env' server/index.mjs

   NUXT_LOADED_MESSAGE=LOADED node --env-file='.env' server/index.mjs

Remember, in production, Nuxt doesn't automatically load .env files. You need to ensure that the environment variables are set in your production environment, whether through your deployment platform's configuration or by explicitly setting them when starting your server. For more details on handling environment variables and runtime config in Nuxt, you can refer to: - Nuxt Environment Variables Documentation - Nuxt Runtime Config Documentation ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
