Docs Upgrade Guide Migrate to Nuxt 3

Build Tooling

Learn how to migrate from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 build tooling.

We use the following build tools by default:

For this reason, most of your previous build configuration in nuxt.config will now be ignored, including any custom babel configuration.

In addition, Nuxt ships with TypeScript support.

  4. Migrate require to import.
