Quick Setup

Install the module to your Nuxt application with one command:

npx nuxi module add nuxt-http-client-hints

Add your configuration to your Nuxt config file:

httpClientHints: {
  // Your configuration here
}

Add your client and server plugins to your Nuxt application and register the corresponding hooks with your configuration:

// my-plugin.client.js
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.hook('http-client-hints:client-hints', (httpClientHints) => {
    // Your client logic here
  })
})

// my-plugin.server.js
export default defineNuxtPlugin((nuxtApp) => {
  nuxtApp.hook('http-client-hints:ssr-client-hints', (httpClientHints) => {
    // Your server logic here
  })
})

You use the httpClientHints object in your application to access the configuration:

<!-- SomeComponent.vue -->
<template>
  <pre>{{ $httpClientHints }}"</pre>
</template>

or in your modules, composables, or other plugins:

// my-module.js
const clientHints = useNuxtApp().$httpClientHints

That's it! You can now use HTTP Client Hints in your Nuxt app ✨
