Notice on `pnpm` usage

Technically, you shouldn't be forced into using pnpm in order to use Nuxt Ignis. The other package managers should, in theory, behave similarly enough to allow the same experience. But so far we are unable to provide reliable support for alternative tooling.

The most limiting factor is that you need mechanism that allows automated hoising of transitive dependencies into root level node_modules to avoid having them listed in package.json. Plain old npm just does so by default (but it comes with several other drawbacks which is why it wasn't the first choice). Making pnpm behave like this requires some adjustments, but we provide them and regularly test our setups. For yarn, bun, deno and whatever else may exists, the behavior is not tested and not guaranteed. Contribution is welcome, if you have something to say regarding any alternative.

Flexibility

With Nuxt Ignis you are in full control over the final shape of your app via nuxt.config.ts configuration and/or .env variables. We recommend the first option thanks to better type support. On the other hand, environment variables do not require code changes and re-build upon change and allow having different instances.

Default features

Nuxt Ignis is designed to be as optionated as possible and you can configure almost everything. With that in mind, some packages are still enabled by default, because they provide functionality that are often repeatedly used. Those we call "default features". Most of them can be turned off via respective environment variables. A small number of excptions cannot be turned off at all due to current technical limitations.

Optional features

Most of the available integrations are disabled by default and are meant to be opted-in by a respective configuration. Those we address as "optional features". This general term also includes all other Nuxt Ignis specific configuration that is available.
