NuxtKit Pro

NuxtKit Pro is a Nuxt 4 scaffolding CLI for developers who want a solid starting point without spending the first hour wiring the same pieces together again.

It generates clean Nuxt projects from curated templates, lets you layer in common feature packs, and keeps the command-line experience fast, predictable, and easy to automate.

Features

• Nuxt 4 starter generation with multiple templates
• Optional feature packs for auth, API routes, Tailwind CSS, and linting
• Interactive mode for guided setup
• Non-interactive mode for automation and CI
• Safe template fallback and defensive file handling
• Dependency installation and git initialization built in

Installation

Run it directly with npx:

npx nuxtkit-pro@latest my-app

Or install it globally:

npm install -g nuxtkit-pro
nuxtkit-pro my-app

Usage

nuxtkit-pro <project-name> [options]

Quick examples

Create a standard Nuxt app:

nuxtkit-pro my-app

Scaffold a dashboard with auth and API support:

nuxtkit-pro admin-panel --template=dashboard --auth --api

Create a landing page starter without installing dependencies:

nuxtkit-pro marketing-site --template=landing --tailwind --no-install

Run in non-interactive mode:

nuxtkit-pro saas-starter \
  --template=saas \
  --auth \
  --api \
  --tailwind \
  --lint \
  --package-manager=pnpm \
  --no-git \
  --yes

Templates

default

The general-purpose starting point. Good for most apps when you want a clean Nuxt base and no opinionated layout.

dashboard

Focused on internal tools, admin panels, and products that need a structured application shell from day one.

landing

Built for marketing pages, launches, and brand-forward sites that need a lightweight, content-driven starting point.

saas

A SaaS-oriented starter aimed at product marketing pages and product-first websites.

Feature Packs

--auth

Adds a basic authentication flow with composables, middleware, login handling, and starter account pages.

--api

Adds a simple Nitro API example, client-side utilities, and a demo page for data fetching patterns.

--tailwind

Adds Tailwind CSS configuration, PostCSS setup, and a CSS entry file wired into Nuxt.

--lint

Adds ESLint, Prettier, Husky, and lint-staged so the project starts with a maintainable code quality baseline.
