npx nuxi module add hub

Configuration

// nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({

  modules: ['@nuxthub/core'],

  hub: {

    db: 'sqlite', // 'sqlite' | 'postgresql' | 'mysql'

    kv: true,

    blob: true,

    cache: true,

    dir: '.data', // local storage directory

    remote: false // use production bindings in dev (v0.10+)

  }

})

Advanced Config

hub: {

  db: {

    dialect: 'postgresql',

    driver: 'postgres-js', // Optional: auto-detected

    casing: 'snake_case',  // camelCase JS -> snake_case DB (v0.10.3+)

    migrationsDirs: ['server/db/custom-migrations/'],

    applyMigrationsDuringBuild: true, // default

    replica: { // Read replica support (v0.10.6+)

      connection: { connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_REPLICA_URL }

    }

  },

  remote: true // Use production Cloudflare bindings in dev (v0.10+)

}

remote mode: When enabled, connects to production D1/KV/R2 during local development instead of local emulation. Useful for testing with production data.

Database replica (v0.10.6+): Configure read replicas to distribute database load. Queries use replicas automatically while writes go to primary.

Database

Type-safe SQL via Drizzle ORM. db and schema are auto-imported on server-side.

Schema Definition

Place in server/db/schema.ts or server/db/schema/*.ts:

// server/db/schema.ts (SQLite)

import { integer, sqliteTable, text } from 'drizzle-orm/sqlite-core'

export const users = sqliteTable('users', {

  id: integer().primaryKey({ autoIncrement: true }),

  name: text().notNull(),

  email: text().notNull().unique(),

  createdAt: integer({ mode: 'timestamp' }).notNull()

})

PostgreSQL variant:

import { pgTable, serial, text, timestamp } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core'

export const users = pgTable('users', {

  id: serial().primaryKey(),

  name: text().notNull(),

  email: text().notNull().unique(),

  createdAt: timestamp().notNull().defaultNow()

})

Database API

// db and schema are auto-imported on server-side

import { db, schema } from 'hub:db'

// Select

const users = await db.select().from(schema.users)

const user = await db.query.users.findFirst({ where: eq(schema.users.id, 1) })

// Insert

const [newUser] = await db.insert(schema.users).values({ name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' }).returning()

// Update

await db.update(schema.users).set({ name: 'Jane' }).where(eq(schema.users.id, 1))

// Delete

await db.delete(schema.users).where(eq(schema.users.id, 1))

Migrations

npx nuxt db generate                  # Generate migrations from schema

npx nuxt db migrate                   # Apply pending migrations

npx nuxt db sql "SELECT * FROM users" # Execute raw SQL

npx nuxt db drop <TABLE>              # Drop a specific table

npx nuxt db drop-all                  # Drop all tables (v0.10+)

npx nuxt db squash                    # Squash migrations into one (v0.10+)

npx nuxt db mark-as-migrated [NAME]   # Mark as migrated without running

Migrations auto-apply during npx nuxi dev and npx nuxi build. Tracked in _hub_migrations table.

Blob Storage

File storage. blob is auto-imported on server-side.

Blob API

import { blob } from 'hub:blob'

// Upload

const result = await blob.put('path/file.txt', body, {

  contentType: 'text/plain',

  access: 'public', // 'public' | 'private' (v0.10.2+)

  addRandomSuffix: true,

  prefix: 'uploads'

})

// Returns: { pathname, contentType, size, httpEtag, uploadedAt }

// Download

const file = await blob.get('path/file.txt') // Returns Blob or null

// List

const { blobs, cursor, hasMore, folders } = await blob.list({ prefix: 'uploads/', limit: 10, folded: true })

// Serve (with proper headers)

return blob.serve(event, 'path/file.txt')

// Delete

await blob.del('path/file.txt')

await blob.del(['file1.txt', 'file2.txt']) // Multiple

// Metadata only

const meta = await blob.head('path/file.txt')

Upload Helpers

// Server: Validate + upload handler

export default eventHandler(async (event) => {

  return blob.handleUpload(event, {

    formKey: 'files',

    multiple: true,

    ensure: { maxSize: '10MB', types: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg'] },

    put: { addRandomSuffix: true, prefix: 'images' }

  })

})

// Validate before manual upload

ensureBlob(file, { maxSize: '10MB', types: ['image'] })

// Multipart upload for large files (>10MB)

export default eventHandler(async (event) => {

  return blob.handleMultipartUpload(event) // Route: /api/files/multipart/[action]/[...pathname]

})

Vue Composables

// Simple upload

const upload = useUpload('/api/upload')

const result = await upload(inputElement)

// Multipart with progress

const mpu = useMultipartUpload('/api/files/multipart')

const { completed, progress, abort } = mpu(file)

export const getStars = defineCachedFunction(

  async (event: H3Event, repo: string) => {

    const data = await $fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/${repo}`)

    return data.stargazers_count

  },

  { maxAge: 3600, name: 'ghStars', getKey: (event, repo) => repo }

)

Cache Invalidation

// Remove specific

await useStorage('cache').removeItem('nitro:functions:getStars:repo-name.json')

// Clear by prefix

await useStorage('cache').clear('nitro:handlers')

Cache key pattern: ${group}:${name}:${getKey(...args)}.json (defaults: group='nitro', name='handlers'|'functions'|'routes')

Deployment

Cloudflare

NuxtHub auto-generates wrangler.json from your hub config - no manual wrangler.jsonc required:

// nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({

  hub: {

    db: {

      dialect: 'sqlite',

      driver: 'd1',

      connection: { databaseId: '<database-id>' }

    },

    kv: {

      driver: 'cloudflare-kv-binding',

      namespaceId: '<kv-namespace-id>'

    },

    cache: {

      driver: 'cloudflare-kv-binding',

      namespaceId: '<cache-namespace-id>'

    },

    blob: {

      driver: 'cloudflare-r2',

      bucketName: '<bucket-name>'

    }

  }

})

Observability (recommended): Enable logging for production deployments:

// wrangler.jsonc (optional)

{

  "observability": {

    "logs": {

      "enabled": true,

      "head_sampling_rate": 1,

      "invocation_logs": true,

      "persist": true

    }

  }

}

Create resources via Cloudflare dashboard or CLI:

npx wrangler d1 create my-db              # Get database-id

npx wrangler kv namespace create KV       # Get kv-namespace-id

npx wrangler kv namespace create CACHE    # Get cache-namespace-id

npx wrangler r2 bucket create my-bucket   # Get bucket-name

Deploy: Create Cloudflare Workers project, link Git repo. Bindings auto-configured at build time.

Environments: Use CLOUDFLARE_ENV=preview for preview deployments.

See references/wrangler-templates.md for manual wrangler.jsonc patterns and references/providers.md for all provider configurations.

Other Providers

See references/providers.md for detailed deployment patterns for:

  • Vercel: Postgres, Turso, Vercel Blob, Vercel KV
  • Netlify: External databases, S3, Upstash Redis
  • Deno Deploy: Deno KV
  • AWS/Self-hosted: S3, RDS, custom configs

D1 over HTTP

Query D1 from non-Cloudflare hosts:

hub: {

  db: { dialect: 'sqlite', driver: 'd1-http' }

}

Requires: NUXT_HUB_CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID, NUXT_HUB_CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, NUXT_HUB_CLOUDFLARE_DATABASE_ID

Build-time Hooks

// Extend schema

nuxt.hook('hub:db:schema:extend', async ({ dialect, paths }) => {

  paths.push(await resolvePath(`./schema/custom.${dialect}`))

})

// Add migration directories

nuxt.hook('hub:db:migrations:dirs', (dirs) => {

  dirs.push(resolve('./db-migrations'))

})

// Post-migration queries (idempotent)

nuxt.hook('hub:db:queries:paths', (paths, dialect) => {

  paths.push(resolve(`./seed.${dialect}.sql`))

})

Type Sharing

// shared/types/db.ts

import type { users } from '~/server/db/schema'

export type User = typeof users.$inferSelect

export type NewUser = typeof users.$inferInsert

WebSocket / Realtime

Enable experimental WebSocket:

// nuxt.config.ts

nitro: { experimental: { websocket: true } }
// server/routes/ws/chat.ts

export default defineWebSocketHandler({

  open(peer) {

    peer.subscribe('chat')

    peer.publish('chat', 'User joined')

  },

  message(peer, message) {

    peer.publish('chat', message.text())

  },

  close(peer) {

    peer.unsubscribe('chat')

  }

})

Deprecated (v0.10)

Removed Cloudflare-specific features:

  • hubAI() -> Use AI SDK with Workers AI Provider
  • hubBrowser() -> Puppeteer
  • hubVectorize() -> Vectorize
  • NuxtHub Admin -> Sunset Dec 31, 2025
  • npx nuxthub deploy -> Use wrangler deploy
