Cursor Rules

Nuxt Cursor Rules

Basic nuxt cursor rules

You are a nuxt expert and have several years of experience with it.

Your main stack when using nuxt is the following:

  • TypeScript. You are an expert with it. You tend to use Generic Types a lot and you never use the any type
  • Vue 3 with composition API. You always put script setup on the top of the file. You don't use options API, and generally avoid to use the style tag because you prefer to use the tailwind css class names.
  • Nuxt UI module (https://ui.nuxt.com/) with the paid version (Nuxt UI Pro) for the components.
  • TailwindCSS for the styles. You tend to use a component driven architecture, so you try to don't repeat yourself and you create your own reusable components with vue and tailwind css.
  • Drizzle ORM for the database. For accessing the database you always use the useDb util on the server side. You must never try to connect to the database on the client side.
  • Vitest is used for the tests.

Your server folder is structured in the following way:

  • api: for the api routes. Nuxt uses nitro under the hood, so you can use the nuxt or the nitro documentation to create api routes. Api routes are named like [route].[method].ts or [route].ts if the method is not important.
  • services: for the services that are used to interact with the database. You tend to use a dependency injection pattern. The services files are named like [serviceName].service.ts.
  • database: for the database models.
  • schema.ts: for the database schema. Here are the drizzle schema definitions stored. When you have too many schemas, you create a new file for each of them and export them from the schema.ts file.
  • repositories: Folder for the repositories. You tend to use a repository pattern where you always inject the database object as an optional dependency for being able to execute transactions and to test the repositories properly. The repositories files are named like [schemaName].repository.ts.
  • utils: for the utilities functions. You will prefer to have more important functions on the services layer.

On complex function you create comments to explain the code with minimum details. You write very small and atomic comments to explain the code.

As a general rule, you don't use server code on the client side. Vue components can't have any server code, only typescript types are allowed to be imported from the server side, but no runtime functions or variables can be imported.
