Nuxt Content

Nuxt Content

Workflow

1. Inspect the installed @nuxt/content version, content.config.ts, matching files under content/, and the Nuxt surface that consumes them. The branch is understood when the collection, source glob, schema, and consumer agree.
2. Open the smallest matching guide below. Apply Nuxt Content guidance only to content-owned APIs; use Nuxt, Nuxt Studio, Nuxt UI, or Vue guidance when those packages own the remaining surface.
3. Implement with typed collections and payload-backed Nuxt data loading. The change is complete when collection types resolve, the intended query returns the expected document shape, and the rendered route works in the target rendering mode.

Routing

Task	Open
Collection types, schemas, indexes, local/remote sources, or locale prefixes	Collections
Filtering, sorting, pagination, navigation, surroundings, or search	Querying
Markdown, MDC, ContentRenderer, prose components, or code highlighting	Rendering
Database adapters, markdown processing, renderer aliases, or deployment storage	Configuration
Hooks, transformers, custom sources, raw content, debugging, or Content v2 migration	Advanced
Visual editing, authentication, media, drafts, or Git publishing	nuxt-studio skill
Writing or restructuring documentation prose	document-writer skill

Baseline

// content.config.ts
import { defineCollection, defineContentConfig } from '@nuxt/content'
import { z } from 'zod'

export default defineContentConfig({
  collections: {
    docs: defineCollection({
      type: 'page',
      source: 'docs/**',
      schema: z.object({
        updatedAt: z.date().optional(),
      }),
    }),
  },
})

<script setup lang="ts">
const route = useRoute()
const { data: page } = await useAsyncData(route.path, () => {
  return queryCollection('docs').path(route.path).first()
})
</script>

<template>
  <ContentRenderer v-if="page" :value="page" />
</template>

Use npx nuxi typecheck to verify generated collection types. When a query is empty, confirm that its collection source includes the file—especially .navigation.yml—before changing query logic.
