Is it possible to remove a plugin inherited from a layer via module?
I have a plugin being installed that I don't want. Can I remove it somehow? Maybe using a module?

Hi @dmarr. 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 knowledge sources provided, there isn't explicit documentation about removing a plugin that's inherited from a Nuxt layer. However, I can provide some insights based on how Nuxt layers and plugins work.
Nuxt layers allow you to extend the default files, configs, and more from other layers, including plugins. When a layer is extended, its plugins are automatically registered.
There are a few potential approaches you might consider:
1. Using a module: You could create a custom Nuxt module that modifies the plugin registration process. Modules have access to the Nuxt instance and can potentially manipulate which plugins are loaded.
2. Disabling automatic plugin imports: There was a GitHub issue (#12887) discussing the need to disable automatic plugin imports, suggesting this is a feature users want, but it doesn't appear to be directly supported yet based on the provided knowledge sources.
3. Override the plugin: Since layers follow a priority system where "earlier items in the
_layers array have higher priority and override later ones" and "the user's project is the first item in the _layers array" as mentioned in the Multi-Layer Support documentation, you might be able to create an empty or modified version of the plugin with the same path in your project to override the one from the layer.
Unfortunately, the knowledge sources don't provide a definitive solution for removing a specific plugin inherited from a layer. This might require a more advanced approach or a feature request to the Nuxt team.
