Build a Headless WordPress Site with Nuxt 3

Same destination as the React and Next.js builds, different half of the ecosystem. Nuxt 3 is a full-stack framework on Vue 3, with Nitro doing the server rendering, and it hands you a lot up front — auto-imports, data-fetching abstractions, and deployment targets for more or less anywhere.

The build goes in order: install Nuxt, add modules, wire up the config, then routing, components, and the WordPress backend. The last third is the part worth staying for — runtime config variables, a dynamic index page, and dynamic post detail routes.
