Filtering pages from a layer

If I have a layer I want to extend, but just without the pages folder, is it possible to ignore it?

Hi @DANANZ. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can ignore pages from a layer you're extending in Nuxt. There are a few approaches to achieve this: 1. Using .nuxtignore You can create a .nuxtignore file in your project's root directory to ignore specific files or directories during the build phase:

# Ignore all pages from the layer
pages/*.vue

# Ignore all pages from the layer
pages/*.vue

This follows the same specification as .gitignore files, allowing you to use glob patterns to specify which files should be ignored Docs > Guide > Directory-structure > .nuxtignore. 2. Using ignorePrefix Another option is to use the ignorePrefix configuration in your nuxt.config.ts. By default, it's set to "-", meaning any files starting with "-" in directories like pages/ will be ignored:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  ignorePrefix: 'layer-' // or any prefix you want to use
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  ignorePrefix: 'layer-' // or any prefix you want to use
})

Then you could rename the pages you want to ignore with that prefix Docs > Api > Nuxt Configuration. 3. Using the pages:extend hook For more control, you can use the pages:extend hook to filter out pages from a layer:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Remove pages from a specific layer
      function removePagesMatching(pattern, pages = []) {
        const pagesToRemove = []
        for (const page of pages) {
          if (page.file && pattern.test(page.file)) {
            pagesToRemove.push(page)
          } else {
            removePagesMatching(pattern, page.children)
          }
        }
        for (const page of pagesToRemove) {
          pages.splice(pages.indexOf(page), 1)
        }
      }
      // Example: remove pages from a specific layer path
      removePagesMatching(/my-layer\/pages\//, pages)
    }
  }
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  hooks: {
    'pages:extend' (pages) {
      // Remove pages from a specific layer
      function removePagesMatching(pattern, pages = []) {
        const pagesToRemove = []
        for (const page of pages) {
          if (page.file && pattern.test(page.file)) {
            pagesToRemove.push(page)
          } else {
            removePagesMatching(pattern, page.children)
          }
        }
        for (const page of pagesToRemove) {
          pages.splice(pages.indexOf(page), 1)
        }
      }
      // Example: remove pages from a specific layer path
      removePagesMatching(/my-layer\/pages\//, pages)
    }
  }
})

This gives you programmatic control to filter out pages based on custom criteria Docs > Guide > Recipes > Custom Routing. 4. Using the new pages pattern configuration (Nuxt 3 recent versions) In newer versions of Nuxt 3, you can specify glob patterns for pages:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  pages: {
    pattern: ['**/*.vue', '!**/layer-pages/**/*.vue'],
  },
})

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  pages: {
    pattern: ['**/*.vue', '!**/layer-pages/**/*.vue'],
  },
})

This allows you to exclude specific patterns from being processed as pages GitHub PR. Choose the approach that best fits your project structure and requirements. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
