Get started
git clone https://github.com/cosmicjs/nuxtjs-website-boilerplate cd nuxtjs-website-boilerplate npm install
Import the bucket.json file into your Cosmic bucket. To do this go to Your Bucket > Settings > Import / Export Data.
Run in production
COSMIC_BUCKET=your-bucket-slug npm start
Go to http://localhost:3000
Run in development
Create a config/development.js file and match it to config/production.js with your values.
npm run development
Go to http://localhost:5000.
Env vars
As it states on the Nuxt.js website, you will need to set the environment variable HOST to 0.0.0.0. This is already done in the package.json script for you, but you could also set this on the "Set Environment Variables" section located in Your Bucket > Settings > Deploy Web App.
Config
Because Node.js doesn't have a mail server, the contact form uses mailgun to send the email. So add the following constants in the config file.
