Separated environment variables for server and client build

📖 Release Notes

⚠️ With Nuxt v2.13 you might want to use the new runtime config instead of this.

Setup

  1. Add @nuxtjs/separate-env dependency to your project
yarn add @nuxtjs/separate-env # or npm install @nuxtjs/separate-env
  1. Add @nuxtjs/separate-env to the modules section of nuxt.config.js
{
  modules: [
    '@nuxtjs/separate-env'
  ],
  env: {
    // Your environment variables here (see Configuration section below)
  }
}

Configuration

To define environment variables only available on server/client side, use the env key of your nuxt.config.js and nest the variables in a server or client object:

{
  env: {
    server: {
      ONLY_SERVER: 'yup',
      DIFFERENT_ON_BOTH: 'server'
    },
    client: {
      ONLY_CLIENT: 'okay',
      DIFFERENT_ON_BOTH: 'client'
    },
    normalEnvVariableThatWillBeAvailableEverywhere: 'Hi'
  }
}

That's it! You are good to go.

Caveats

IMPORTANT: Be aware that server-side means on every first render of your application. Your secret tokens won't be included anywhere except where you use them
