Git ignore reports

Unlighthouse will save your reports in outputDir (.lighthouse by default), it's recommended you .gitignore these files.

.gitignore
.lighthouse

Usage

To begin using Unlighthouse, you'll need to add the module to buildModules.

When you run your Nuxt app, it will give you the URL of client, only once you visit the client will Unlighthouse start.

Nuxt 3

nuxt.config.ts
import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt3'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  buildModules: [
    '@unlighthouse/nuxt',
  ],
})

Nuxt 2

nuxt.config.js
export default {
  buildModules: [
    '@unlighthouse/nuxt',
  ],
}

Type support can be added by adding the @unlighthouse/nuxt module to your plugins. Nuxt v3 will automatically add type support.

tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": [
      "@unlighthouse/nuxt"
    ]
  }
}

Configuration

You can either configure Unlighthouse via the unlighthouse key in your Nuxt config, or you can provide a unlighthouse.config.ts file in the root directory.

See Configuring Unlighthouse for more information.
