Getting Started
To use the Nuxt 3 Content module in your Nuxt app, follow these steps:
- Install the Nuxt Content module by running the following command:

- Configure the Nuxt Content module in your nuxt.config.ts file by adding the following code:
export default defineNuxtConfig({
// Other Nuxt configuration options...
modules: ["@nuxt/content"],
})
- Create a content directory in the root of your project. If you're creating a blog component, create a blog directory inside the content directory. Then, inside the blog directory, create your Markdown files or JSON files (e.g., my-first-post.md, my-second-post.md).
- Inside the pages directory, create a folder named blog. Then, create an index.vue and ...slug.vue pages.
- In the index.vue page, add the following code to list all blog posts:
<template>
<div>
<Contentlist path="/blog" v-slot="{ list }">
<div v-for="post in list" :key="post._path">
<p>{{ post.title }}</p>
<nuxt-link :to="post._path">
</div>
</ContentList>
</div>
</template>
- To render individual blog posts, use the ...slug.vue page with the ContentRenderer component. Add the following code to the ...slug.vue page
<template>
<ContentRenderer v-if="data" :value="data" />
</template>
<script setup>
const { path } = useRoute();
const { data } = await useAsyncData(`content-${path}`, () => {
return queryContent().where({ _path: path }).findOne();
});
</script>
By following these steps, you can effectively utilize the Nuxt 3 Content module to manage and render your content, catering to various use cases and creating dynamic and engaging websites.
