nuxi preview
The preview command starts a server to preview your application after the build command.
Terminal
npx nuxi preview|start [rootDir] [--dotenv]
The preview command starts a server to preview your Nuxt application after running the build command. The start command is an alias for preview. When running your application in production refer to the Deployment section.
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
rootDir | . | The root directory of the application to preview. |
--dotenv | . | Point to another .env file to load, relative to the root directory. |
This command sets process.env.NODE_ENV to production. To override, define NODE_ENV in a .env file or as command-line argument.
For convenience, in preview mode, your
.env file will be loaded into process.env. (However, in production you will need to ensure your environment variables are set yourself.)
