Content directory

The Content module parses .md and .yaml files inside the content/ directory and provides paths according to the directory structure.

Paths

Nuxt Content will automatically generate paths for your content files.

FileInternal path
content/index.md/
content/about.md/about
content/blog/index.md/blog
content/blog/hello.md/blog/hello
content/1.guide/2.installation/guide/installation

The module creates REST GET endpoints for every document in the content/ directory reachable with the /api/_content/query route.

Components and pages can query contents using queryContent().

Ordering

Add numeric prefixes to files and directories inside the content/ directory to specify an order. Nuxt Content uses these numbers to order content lists.

Directory structure
content/
  1.frameworks/
    1.vue.md
    2.nuxt.md
  2.examples/
    1.vercel.md
    2.netlify.md
    3.heroku.md
    index.md
Separate number from file name using . character. Using any other separator will not work.

Ignoring

Content module will ignore files and folders starting with a ..

Directory structure
content/
  1.frameworks/
    .1.vue.md              // Ignored content
    2.nuxt.md
  .2.translation/          // Ignored directory
    1.fa/
      1.messages.md        // Ignored content because of its grand parent
    2.fr/
      1.messages.md        // Ignored content because of its grand parent

Partials

Adding _ prefix to files will mark them as partial contents.

Partial contents are accessible in search and content lists but are not displayed in content navigation.

Directory structure
content/
  1.frameworks/
    _1.vue.md              // Partial content
    2.nuxt.md
  _2.translation/          // Partial directory
    1.fa/
      1.messages.md        // Partial content because of its grand parent
    2.fr/
      1.messages.md        // Partial content because of its grand parent
Starting a directory name with _ will mark its entire nested content as partial.

You can query partials by using queryContent().where({ _partial: true }).
