Nightly Release Channel

Nuxt lands commits, improvements, and bug fixes every day. You can opt in to test them earlier before the next release.

After a commit is merged into the main branch of nuxt/nuxt and passes all tests, we trigger an automated npm release, using GitHub Actions.

You can use these 'nightly' releases to beta test new features and changes.

The build and publishing method and quality of these 'nightly' releases are the same as stable ones. The only difference is that you should often check the GitHub repository for updates. There is a slight chance of regressions not being caught during the review process and by the automated tests. Therefore, we internally use this channel to double-check everything before each release.

Opting In

Update nuxt dependency inside package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
--    "nuxt": "^3.0.0"
++    "nuxt": "npm:nuxt-nightly@latest"
  }
}

Remove lockfile (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, or bun.lockb) and reinstall dependencies.

Opting Out

Update nuxt dependency inside package.json:

{
  "devDependencies": {
--    "nuxt": "npm:nuxt-nightly@latest"
++    "nuxt": "^3.0.0"
  }
}

Remove lockfile (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, or bun.lockb) and reinstall dependencies.
