Nuxt Server Adapter

The @zenstackhq/server/nuxt module provides a quick way to install a full set of CRUD API onto Nuxt apps. Combined with ZenStack's powerful access policies, you can achieve a secure data backend without manually coding it.

Installation

npm

npm install @zenstackhq/server

pnpm

pnpm add @zenstackhq/server

bun

bun add @zenstackhq/server

yarn

yarn add @zenstackhq/server

Mounting the API

You can mount the API by creating a Nuxt server event handler like:

/server/api/model/[...].ts

import { createEventHandler } from '@zenstackhq/server/nuxt';
import { RPCApiHandler } from '@zenstackhq/server/api';
import { getSessionUser } from '~/auth';
import { client } from '~/db';
import { schema } from '~/zenstack/schema';

export default createEventHandler({
    apiHandler: new RPCApiHandler({ schema }),
    // getSessionUser extracts the current session user from the request, its
    // implementation depends on your auth solution
    getClient: (event) => client.$setAuth(getSessionUser(event)),
});

The Nuxt event handler takes the following options to initialize:

• getClient (required)

  (event: H3Event<EventHandlerRequest>) => ClientContract<Schema> | Promise<ClientContract<Schema>>

  A callback for getting a ZenStackClient instance for talking to the database. Usually you'll return a client instance with access policy enabled and user identity bound.

• apiHandler (required)

  ApiHandler

  The API handler instance that determines the API specification.
