nuxt-config

Nuxt Module for splitting your nuxt.config.js into multiple files.

Features

• File based Nuxt configuration.
• Support for exported Object, Array or Function (accepting current config).
• Dynamic ordering of executing exported functions using a Proxy.
• Modules in ~/config/modules.js will be added to Nuxt dynamically.

Examples:

~/config/env.js:

// Support for object
export default (config) => {
    return {
        quickBuild: true,
        sentryDSN: '...'
    }
}

~/config/build.js:

// Support for function:
// Because of {env} this module will first import ~/config/env.js
export default ({env}) => {
    
    
    return {
        
        hardSource: env.quickBuild,

        extend(config, ctx) {
            
        }
    }
}

~/config/plugins.js:

export default [
  '~/plugins/google-analytics.js'
]

Known issues

There is still one problem: circulair dependencies. If you would have two config functions:

~/config/foo.js:

export default (config) => {
    
    // Read bar
    const bar = config.bar; // This will trigger to import ~/config/bar.js
}

~/config/bar.js:

export default (config) => {
    
    // Read foo
    const foo = config.foo; // This will trigger to import ~/config/foo.js
}

This is not possible. So what happens now is:

• ~/config/bar.js is executed
  • config.foo is read
  • This triggers ~/config/foo.js
    • config.bar is read
    • Circulair dependency is detected and a warning is thrown.
    • foo continues and config.bar is still undefined
  • config.foo is equal to the result of ~/config/foo.js
  • ~/config/bar.js is continued.

What needs to be done:

The circulair dependency warning is now:

Can not early load '~/config/foo.js' because of a circulair dependency

It would be nice to have a descriptive warning which tells:

• what is wrong
• how it can be fixed

This can be achieved by implementing a dependency tree.
